BALTIMORE, Feb. 24.-The for
gotten man, John Doe, has the
fattest of all Uncle Sans 42,OO0, 900
social security accounts.
John Doe is the name given all
the accounts of the unidentified
surnameless, the here-today-gone-
tomorrow workman.
The John Doe" or "catch-all"
account gets all payments made on
behalf of persons whose full names
could not be learned by their en-
ployers and who have drifted on
without a trace, those who failed
to obtain social security numbers,
and others who for any reason could
not be properly identified.
How much has been credited to
John Doe remains undisclosed since
board officials are bound by regu-
lation to observe strict secrecy.
The list Of persons eligible for
pensions at 65 has been increasing
at the rate of 1880 a day, and
with each increase, officials say,
John Does account grows fatter.
Board ofdcials are unwilling to
estimate when the peak in account
numbers will be reached. Congress

On Reorganization

Conduit Road Citizens
Association Calls for
Elective School Board

The eight-point program for re-
organization of the District govern
ment, proposed by the Federation OF
Citizens Association and including
a demand for local suffrage, was in
dorsed by the Conduit Road Citizens
Association last night.
A move to approve the entire
Griffenhagen report with addition of
the suffrage provision was defeated
The motion was made by Frank
Shaw after the group had approved
the eight-point program of the fed
Grafton. Mr.. Shaw contended that
"by tearing the report to pieces we
will get nothing. I don't see how
Congress can approve it without in
cluding suffrage"
Four General Principles Backed.
Along with the federation's pro-
gram the association also indorsed
the -four general principles" of the
Griffenhagen report, providing for
the complete separation of legisla-
tive and executive authority, placing
OF municipal authority in a legisla-
tive body, Capitalization of executive
authority in single chief executive,
and experimentation of executive
functions in number of bureaus
or departments.
An elective and autopomous school
board also was approved.
The Sheppard resolution asking
Tor study into the feasibility of
establishing Government owned
liquor dispensaries in the District
was brought before the group and
referred to committee after Ellis
r. King pointed out that Govern
ment sale of liquor would do great
damage to business and employment
