February 1, 1955 TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS: Extension of the Social Security Act by the Eighty­third Congress to cover additional classes of citizens suggests a warning to both the public and law enforcement officers to be on the lookout for impostors who falsely represent themselves to be connected with the administration of this Act and in a position to confer benefits under it in return for a fee or some other type of cash payment. There have already been several instance s in which the Social Security Act was used as a basis for swindling elderly men and women and it would seem wise to anticipate more crimes of this type as the scope of financial security legislation is broadened. Each successive group of newly entitled recipients enlarges the number of potential victims available to the profes sional swindler. One type of offense to be expected was exposed last year when two women were br ought into a Federal District Court in Virginia on charge s of irr;personating Government representatives as a part of a scheme to defraud elderly persons of their savings. Evidence was introduced to show that the accused had represented themselves as social security workers and had told their victims that the latter were entitled to certain benefits but must first pay "settlement charges" to clear their eligibility. Both women entered pleas of guilty and were sentenced to serve penitentiary terms for the fals e personation of officials of the Federal Gov:ernment. Alert police officers brought reports of the fraud to the FBI and in so doing may have saved many potential victims from being swindled out of their savings. The total number of these frauds reported thus far is admittedly small, particularly when measure d against the scope of social security legis­ 1ation. They do represent, however, a particularly reprehensible type of crime and every effort should be made to keep them to an absolute minimum.

  • 23 February 1955 SWEDISH ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES Report
    23 February 1955 SWEDISH ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES Report adopted on 26 February L/328 - 3S/81 INTRODUCTION 1. The Panel on Complaints examined with the representatives of Italy and Sweden the complaint of the Italian Government that the Swedish anti-dumping regulations were not consistent with the obligations of Sweden under the General Agreement and that the administration of these regulations impaired the benefits which should accrue to Italy under that Agreement1. The Panel heard statements from the two parties and obtained from them additional information to clarify a number of points. On the basis of that documentation, the Panel considered if and to what extent the Swedish Royal Decree of 15 October 1954 regarding the levying of anti-dumping duties with respect to the importation of ladies stockings of nylon or similar synthetic fibres was consistent with the provisions of the General Agreement. It considered further whether and to what extent the administration of that decree had actually impaired the benefits accruing directly or indirectly to the Government of Italy under General Agreement. Finally, the panel agreed on the text of a recommendation which, in its opinion, would best assist the Italian and Swedish Governments in arriving at a satisfactory adjustment of the question submitted by Italy to the CONTRACTING PARTIES. FACTS OF THE CASE 2. On 29 May 1954, the Swedish Government introduced anti-dumping duties on the importation of nylon stockings. In accordance with this Decree, an anti-dumping duty was levied whenever the invoice price was lower than the relevant minimum price fixed by the Swedish Government, the importer being entitled to obtain a refund of that duty if the case of dumping was not established.

  • SNOW SURVEY of GREAT BRITAIN Season 1955-56 the Basic Material
    Reprinted from the METEOROLOGICAL MAGAZINE Vol. 85,1956, PP- 353-361 SNOW SURVEY OF GREAT BRITAIN Season 1955-56 The basic material for this report has been obtained, as in previous years, from returns made by voluntary observers who have provided, month by month, daily records of snowfall and of any snow cover in sight. These records, from a network of stations distributed over the country, are augmented by data extracted from the regular monthly returns from official weather stations and from voluntary climatological stations reporting to the Meteorological Office. Without the co-operation of all those responsible for these voluntary observa- tions, this report could not have been prepared in anything like its present detail. The measurements of snow depth are given in inches and refer in general to 0900 G.M. T. or thereabouts. Summary of 1955-56 season. -Snowfall was about average, taking the season as a whole, and occurred mainly during January and February. There was little snow in November or after March except in Scotland. During January snow was most frequent in Scotland, but in February it was almost as frequent in the Midlands and eastern England as further north. Figs. r and 2 show the number of days of snow falling and snow lying respectively during the season and are based on observations from some 450 stations. Snow fell on more than 7o days in the Grampians, 50 over the high ground in the Southern Uplands, 40 in the Pennines and 30 over most of the country north of a line roughly from Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire, to Felixstowe, Suffolk, except western coastal districts, areas around the Humber basin and a broad belt across the country from the Firth of Clyde to the Firth of Forth.
