Don't Stamp
Security Cards

A plea TO welfare agencies to stop
the practice Of stamping their names
on the social security cards of appli-
cantS for assistance was voiced today.
This plea came from Charles l..
Hickey, manager OF the Social Secur-
ity Board field office in Dearborn, af-
ter officials of the federal agency in
Washington had made Il similar re-
quest. Explaining the reason for his
statement Mr.. Hickey said:
1T has been found that some EN-
ployers will not hire men who present
social security cards which bear the
imprint Of rubber stamps naming wei
fare organizations which have helped
these workers in times Of stress. Some
welfare organizations have stamped
the social security cards of workers
to prevent 'repeaters.'
1T is the feeling Of the Social Sc
curity Board that this practice may
be considered as an evidence of power
ty of the person presenting the card
Some employers object TO hiring such
workers. hence our request TO the wei
fare organizations. Any man who has
q social security card which has been
stamped in this manner may obtain
Few card. without charge, by applying
at our office located at 14246 Mfcm-
gan avenue, Dearborn. Michigan Mr.
Hickey added
