This is he first OF uC0 articles on
Social Security for The F0rmers.'j
When the navy announced its plan
for the biggest postwar boom in
history - its intention TO blow a
97-ship feet skyhigh with the atom
bomb-I couldn't help recalling the
answer which little girl gave to a
reporter before the war ended. He
asked her: what do you want toIoe
when you grow up" The youngster
replied, alive"
In this atomic era, it's pleasant
to note, then, that there are at
least two groups Of people in this
country who not only assume that
most of US win stay alive for a rea-
sonable period. but who are making
plans based on that assumption.
One group comprises the radar
experts who earnestly promise Wen
be rocketing TO the moon and back
by 1996-stopping TO refuel along the
lunar slkyway at filler-up stations
suspended in space and perhaps
plucking moonflowers in hanging
garden.
The second group is the National
Planning association specifically
its agriculture which
expects the farmer not only to grow
up. but to live at least TO the age
of IS. at which time he will want to
retire. Making that retirement pos
sible is the subject of a new NPA
bulletin by Murray r. Benedict,
professor of agricultural economies
at the University Of California
Why is the farmer SO favored? Is
he the only worker who wants to re-
tire and live out his old age in rea-
sonable financial security? What
about the tired-out typist? Isn't
the weary welder worthy?
Be that as it may. Mr.. Benedicrs
retirement plan is based solely
on bringing the farmer into the fed
eral social security system. Most
industrial and white collar workers
like typists. weldeTs and butchers.
are already covered by social secu-
rity. When the time comes for
them to quit work for good, they
can count on small, but regular
monthly income from social sacu-
rity benefits.
Not so the farmer. When he car
work no longer, he has to live of
what he's saved or by selling the
south forty-and if he. hasn't saved
anything, that's his hard iuck-or
whoever has to take care Of him.

Administration
Proves Problem

The farmers were not included IN
the social security setup when 1t
was inaugurated in 1895, because
the lawmakers and administrators
felt they couldn't cope with his Pc
culiar problems at the time. For
the same reason, they passed over
the self-employed worker, the do
nestle employee, the government
and railroad worker, the employee
in non-profit organizations. Such

Some months ago the renters
in this rundown pueblo got tired
of walking UP eight floors, using
toilets that didn't work, stuffing
blankets into windows whose
cracks only channelized the cold
winds and paying rents that
through a system of partitioning
amounts to as as high as 5000
month for six inadequate rooms.
Led by the National Negro
Congress the more than 100 ten
ants in the 81 flats organized a
Tenants League. The fire and
health departments were called
in and after an Inspection of the
premises threatened to condemn
the place as menace, unless re-
pairs were made. However, sew
eral days after the visit most If
the improvements disappeared.
MORE than a year ago. the OF
flee of Price Administration cut
rents and ordered the owners to
pay rebates. These have still not
been paid. By renting out rooms
in apartments for as high as S45
each, a six-room flat can be made
to bring in as much as 5000. In
some cases six families are
crowded into six rooms, each paw.
