SIS Tax Figures
Not Available
for Income Tax

A statement from William j
McCauley, manager of the Pom
tiac office of the Social Security
Board, today called attention to
the fact that the Boards local
office is unable to furnish fig
ures of 1914 earnings for in
come-tax purposes.
McCauley said that every
year at tins time hundred OF
Well-meanlng people request
statements OF their annual earn
ings for use in making out IN
come-taxs returns since they
know that the Social Security
Board keeps complete records OF
wages paid to workers whose
jobs are covered by social secur-
ity. 1t is from these records that
insurance benefits are calculat-
ed for insured workers when
they retire-or for the family
of a worker if he dies. But the
complete figures for 1914 Will
not have reached the Board IN
time to make them available for
income tax returns.

The number of soldiers wives
whose care was paid for by the

creased at Lying-in Hospital, DR.
Arthur c. Bachmeyer, director
of the university hospital and
clinics, reported in his annual
statement.
Service wives seeking hospit-
alization increased from Is to 80
per cent of ward patients during
the year. A total of 557 author
izations were received by Lying
in for payment of hospital care
by the federal government.
There were l,794 boy babies
born at the hospital during the
year and 1897 girls, giving the
boys boys the edge by seven.
Thirty-three sets Of twins were
included in the 1881 deliveries.
The total births showed de
crease of nine per cent from the
all-time high of 1943. The de
crease is attributed to the hos

Der of patients each month TO
800 to meet wartime shortage OF
