SOCIAL SECURITY

Employers having in their pos

number cards were advised today

sentative in charge of the Jack.

curity Board. that the cards should
be turned over promptly to the
employees to whom they were is.
sued, and the cards should be al
all times in the possession OF such
workers. Furthermore. the work
ers are cautioned TO preserve
them carefully.
Instances in which the cards
are being retained by employers
have been brought to his atten-
ton, Mr.. Megi.l said. This has
happened, it is explained, in cases
where employers hold the cards
sent to them by post offices for
distribution to employees. 1t has
also occurred IN cases where new
employees have given their cards
to employers. so that the account
numbers could be recorded On
the employers records. In some
of those instances, Mr.. Megill
said, employers have not known
what to do with the cards.
In these cases, and in all 9TH
ers where account number cards
are given to employers, Mr.. Me-
gill emphasized that they should
be turned over to workers prompt
ly.
Mr.. Megill pointed out that en-
ployes, in reporting their social
security account numbers to EN-
ployers, need not give their ac-
count cards to employers. The
only requirement, Mr.. Megil said,
is that workers furnish employers
acco.nt numbers-not the cards.

Representative Woodruff, Of

direct the slashing of expenditures
to a minimum by careful consid-
Grafton of individual appropria-

member of the Economy Commit
tee of 1898, which had something
to do with the memorable reduc-
ton of expenditures, although the
gains were subsequently offset by
further action of Congress.

In connection with the above

times wonder why we do not pre-

unless these carry an implication
OF future effection action, we are
compelled to omit tleem. The pres
ent budget balancing effort is to
be determined hv the attitude of
the Democratic leaders and, for
that reason. their views are more

No writer has any way of cor
reetly guaging the Presidents
popularity with the people at this
time. 1t is impossible to compare
his standing among the voters
now with his November rating.
Plainly, the Chief Executive has
an extensive program of reform
in view and is now only awaiting
the outcome of the Court fight to
make known its specifications.
Heretofore, even Mr.. Roosevelt's
enemies have acknowledged hi5
iuneanny ability to represent pub
lie opinion and to attract popular
support for his measures. Today,
as every competent observer real

factor is the strength of the Presi-

The writer was told last night

it was of any other player.
Umpires should call the plays

attention to- what any player
says. When the jumps are ike that

No matter what the decisions
are, some players are bound to
find fault.

And still another matter that
happened Sunday. Some claimed
that they did not care anything
about the fans and that they are
not playing for the fans. Then,
for whom are they playing or whg
do they want to watch them? Flys
and other insects?
Remember, fans are the one
who make the ball player. If Babe
Ruth would not have packed the
Yanks' stadium, what would he'd
been worth? The same goes for
Dizzy Dean, Gehrig and other great
stars-stars because they know
that they will out the crowds by
their playing and color. Other
payers just as good can not de-

they haven't the following.
