Concern is Felt Failure Employers
 to File Reports

Revenue at Washington, D. C.,
 has expressed its concern to h.
 ternal Revenue Acting Collector Thor w. Henricksen over the
 large percentage of employ CTS in
 Washington andAla ska who have
 not yet filed reports showing tax
 able wages paid to employees
 from July 1, 1887 to December 31, 1887, as required under the Federal Social Security Act. Of 27,50O employers ubject to Title VIII of the Federal Social Secur- ity Act, approximately llTo have failed to file returns on Forms SS-2 and SS-2a with the Collec- tor for this period. These figures are significant, as the employers who have failed to file these in- form ation returns have in their employ approximately 50,660 per sons for whom no wage reports have been received.
 The Collector pointed out it is to the interest of the employer, as well as employee, to have this information sent to the Collector without further delay. Employ CTS will save themselves the nec- essity of having to make explan- ations to their employees or sur vivors of deceased employees, and will cut down on the need of further conference with govern ment officials if they are now prompt in submitting these re- ports to the U. S. Collector of h. ternal Revenue.
 Acting Collector HenrickSen the pointed out that to receive old-age ben efits under the pro- visions of the Social Security Act, it is necessary that an employee be credited on the records of the Social Security Board with the amount of wages he has earned. He pointed out that the informa- tion concerning the amount of wages paid an employee is requir ed by the Government in order to calculate the benefits under old-age insurance which the Gov ernment has obligated itself to pay workers when they reach the age of 65, or to their estates in the event of their death. It is, therefore, important to the en- ployee that the taxes deducted from his wages by the employer and the amount of taxable wages he receives are promptly report ed to the Collector of Internal Revenue.
 "Section BOT of the Social Se- curity Act provides penalties up to $1O,0OO for wiIlful failure to make returns or supply such in- form ation required by law and regulation" said MT. Henr icksen, "but the Bureau of Internal Rev. enue does not believe that many employers have deliberately with held these reports. On the con- trary, it is convinced that most of the delinquencies can be laid to lack of familiarity with the terms of the law-mostly among employers of only a few persons and that when they understand that their employees an receive no old-age benefits until the de linu,lent returns are filed, inn mediate action will be taken. It would seem that employers would he acting in their best interest, as we'll as their employees to file these returns at once. Every em- ployer who has one or more em- ployees should file these wage re- ports immediately, if he has not already done so"
 The Collector feels that the fil- ing of returns is a legal as we'll

MIAMI CLEANUP
PROBE IS OPENED
Grand Jury Secretly Inves-

General Vice Conditions.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla, Jan. VA lid Of
silence was suddenly clamped down
today as a grand jury opened a widely
heralded investigation into charges Of
rampant gambling. prostitution and
municipal bribery and maladministra-
ton.
TOO much publicity about what Is
going on before the jury might deter
volunteer information" explained
George A. Worley, State attorney.
Earlier he had said the investigat ton
might lead anywhere and would go
the limit"
The prosecutor said six or eight
witnesses were summoned to appear
today. A number Of others had also
been subpoenaed. he added, to testify
regarding vice conditions"
The inquiry. opening as the city was
crowded with thousands of vacationing
winter visitors. was a standard topic
Of conversation at race tracks, hotels
and beaches.
Extent Of Probe.
Worley said the grand jury would
consider these matters:
l. General vice conditions, includ-
ing illegal gambling, operation OF dis
orderly houses and similar activities.
2. City contracts and purchases Of
supplies and equipment.
8, Refunding of the city's s28,-
100000 bonded debt
T. Calling of special election at
which voters last fall turned down
. proposed franchise for a bus COM
pany.
S. The charge by Bryan G. Hanks,
president of the Florida Power & Light
Co, that an unnamed city repre-
sentative solicited a S25O,0O0 bribe to
settle q rate case pending in Federal
Court.
1t was the public statement by Hanks
that led to the call for the special
grand Jury.
Public Call for Information.
The State attorney appointed Will
ham r. Reeder and Stuart w. Patton
as special assistants and issued a
public call for information which
might involve political corruption.
The result was gratifying. Worley said.
Mayor Robert r. williams, whose
administration is under fire in the
probe, last week announced his cam
didacy for Congress and later as
sailed Hanks charges as An attempt
70 coerce the city commission into
settling the rate case.
The rate case began in 1885 when
