Wartime Government Workers
May Get Social Security Credit
President Orders Simp|ified System
For Identifying Employees by Number

The possibility that wartime
Government workers whose jobs
will lapse six months after the
end Of hostilities may get credit
under the Social Security Act for
the time spent in Federal service
developed today as President
Roosevelt issued an executive
order directing Federal agencies
to use individual Social Security
account numbers for identifying
Government workers whenever
this Is found desirable.
The order itself has no immediate
bearing on this matter, it was said
but it was explained that the inter-
changing Of Government retirement
and Social Security credits had been
discussed between the Budget Bu-
reau and the Civil Service Commits
sion and that a uniform set of &C
count numbers would be one of the
steps helpful in such a program.
II anything of the sort eventually
is done, legislation would be re-
quired. The Civil Service Commits
sion is understood to have approved
the plan, which would involve old
age insurance protection under the
Social Security Act and Government
retirement.
Thousands of wartime employees
who are holding emergency jobs
already had social security numbers
obtained when they were in private

employment They also have their
individual retirement accounts. The
regular social security numbers now
are being used in the railroad retire.
ment system. and the War Depart
ment uses this system of numbers
in setting up allotment accounts.
Social security numbers also are
being used by the Internal Revenue
Bureau for identifying individual tax
returns.
In his order Mr.. Roosevelt said
that approximately 100000 per-
sons already have social security
numbers and that 1T is desirable in
the interest of economy and orderly
administration that the Federal
Government move toward the use of
single, unduplicated numerical
identification system of accounts and
avoid the unnecessary establishment
Of additional systems"
The President authorized any
agency finding it advisable ito
establish new system of perma-
nent account numbers pertaining to
individual persons" to utilize social
security account numbers, and di-
rected the Social Security Board tc
make such numbers available when
called on.
1t was said at the Social Security
Board that while it was not manda-
tory for agencies which have been
using other systems of numbering
to follow the Presidents direction
that undoubtedly, in the interest of
uniformity, some would.

MARINE ASSAULT FORCES AT
TARAWA, Nov. % Delayed -
Bloody, bandaged heroes of the
United States Marines have broken
the back of this lizard shaped Jap
anese Gibraltar of the Gilbert Is
lands today after so hours of the
toughest fighting in the century,
and-a-half history of the corps.
INA four-hour push supported by
naval gunfire, strating and dive
bombing, the marines cleared the
vital air strip and confined the Jap
defenders-Tojo's Corps, the i'm

perlng tail and to a small blockhouse
pocket on the north coast.
The Jap soldiers are not surren-
dering, but are beginning to commit
hari-kiri. However, there is every
indication they will fight to the end
from strong positions and that many
more American boys will die before
the last Japs are driven from Ia

No victory in American military

Senate Asks Probe
Of Good Neighbor'
Spending Activities
Byrd Demands Answer
By Rockefeller After
Charge by Butler
BY the Associated Press.

oy tne Associated fTess.
Senate investigators called for
a detailed examination of good
neighbor" activities and spend
ing today, the outcome of the
charge of Senator Butler, Re-
publican, of Nebraska that the
United States has spent or obli-
gated more than $4,000, 900 900
in Latin America.
Nelson Rockefeller. co-ordinator
of Inter-American Affairs, said the
Butler estimate was a "misrepre-
sentation Of the facts" and that the
expenditures totaled less than $780,
900, 900.
Mr.. Rockefeller gave this informa-
ton in a speech at an American
Legion dinner here last night as
Chairman Byrd of the Congressional
Committee on Nonessential Federal
Spending said he had asked Mr..
Rockefeller for a complete account
ing.
In a 2Oo-page report, Senator
Butler asserted yesterday that
United States cash is being used for
"boondoggling' projects in Latin
America.
Senator Butler, who made a 90
000-mile personal investigation, said
the neighboring republics either be-
lieve Uncle Sam is sucker" or are
plainly distrustful of the motives.
The attack attracted wide notice
in Latin America. but comment
generally was restrained.
Vice President Wallace, who has
taken an active interest in South
American affairs, called Senator
Buffers report "a shocking slur to
our Latin American Allies" based
on fantastic figures which have
been used in an apparent effort to
discredit the Good Neighbor policy"
"As Vice President of the United
States, I feel compelled to express
my deep regret to our Latin Amer
lcan allies in the war for the shock
ing slur which has been made
against them," Mr.. Wallace said.
ITO the people of the other Amer
icas, I want to say it is my belief
that the people of the United States
are profoundly grateful to you for
the sincere, unselflsh support which
you have given us in our time of
need.
