There are 7,148,42 specimens Of
wildlife In the United States-not
wildlife as represented by the re
Gently INDICATED Esquire magazine
but big game animals like deer,
buffalo and mountain goats. The
fish and wildlife service counted
them, canvassing the wide open
spaces to do it.
Prof. Murray r. Benedict Of the
University Of California has been do
ing some counting too in the wide
open spaces, or at least down on
the farm, and he came up with the
conclusion that in 1899 more than
half the farm owners in the coul-
try raised less than $3.50 worth OF
products on their land. Consequent
ly these low-income farmers, and a
great many other farmers in only
slightly higher income brackets,
find it almost impossible to save
money toward the time when they
can no longer work. They are har-
assed by feeling of economic in
security-the kind Of economic in
security which President Truman
recently said was tending to break
down family life in this country.
Mr.. Truman suggested that perhaps
we ought to have "Bill Of Rights"
for the family as well as for the
individual.
Professor Benedict doesn't sug-
gest Bill Of Rights for the farmer,
but In a pamphlet entitled "a Re-
tirement System for Farmers" he
does suggest that the farmer be in
cluded in the federal social secur-
ity system.
The farmer earning no more than
$3.50 from the sale of products would
be listed as a self-employed worker
making an assumed net income Of
$500. He would pay into the social
security fund 2 per cent Of his in
come each year, and to make the
yearly payments a little easier to
take, the farmer would use a stamp
book, buying social security stamps
to paste In whenever he had some
spare cash.
Farmers who earn $3.50 or more
can follow the same procedure.
They are given a standard deduc-
ton based on how much they earn.
For example, those farmers earn
ing between $3.50 and $1,000 get a
$500 deduction; there's a $500 de-
duction for the next highest group
and so on. They take their deduc-
ton, make the simple report Of net
income, and that's that.
But some farmers may insist that
their expenses exceed the deduction
allowed them. That's okay with Mr..
Benedict. For them, he would pro-
vide a separate form so the farmer
could list his actual expenses and
deduct them.

Farm Hands
Also Covered

All this applies to farm-own-
ers. But perhaps the farm own
en-, Jake Duncan, has helper,
Tom. Tom is a farm wage-work-
8 er, and IL MIR. Benedict has his
way, farm wage-workers like
Tom would be treated much
/, the same as Industrial workers,
Insofar as social security is CON-
cerned. That means Jake, the
employer would deduct Toms 1
per cent from his wages, add
his own payment of / per cent
to Toms per cent and trans
init to the government at
the end Of each quarter, the
funds and certified statement
Of wages paid.
Here again, Mr.. Benedict wants
to save Jake, the employer, from
long nights spent at the rolltop desk
pouring over social security rec
ords.. He suggests as one way to
eliminate paper work, a stamp book
system. Tom would get q stamp
book from the post office. Each time
Jake pays Tom of, Jake would af-
AK and cancel the proper stamps.
That's a painless way Of recording
payments.
Mr.. Benedict doesn't think that
nine million farmers and farm
workers can be brought into the so
cial security system overnight.
Neither does he predict smooth
sailing right from the start If they
were brought In. II will take time
and far-reaching educational pro-
gram.
The idea Of including farm
ers under the social security
plan Is mot q new one. Most Of

tons have okayed the idea; both

Rapoport Is. indicted
On Fraud Charges
In Renegofiation

1sadore Rapoport, New York pro-
moter who obtained more than $5,-
600 900 in war contracts, was under
indictment here today on charges Of
defrauding the Government.
Rapport and his company, the
Ultima Optical Instrument Co., were
indicted late yesterday by special
District grand jury. Rapoport was
said to have overstated by about
$85 900 the expenses Of the company
IN carrying out war contracts.
Rapport, who has a criminal
record in New York State, sublet
many of his war contracts to the
Mergenthaler Linotype Co., but of
ficials emphasized that this concern
was not involved in the fraud case
in any way.
Involved in Nickel's Case.
Rapport faces grand larceny and
forgery charges in New York in con-
nection with a swindle of the Limo
type firm in which William Arthur
Nickel, Mergenthaler bookkeeper.
and others are implicated.
According to New York investiga-
tors, Rapport put Nickel on his
payroll to help him get war subcon-
tracts and to obtain Mergenthaler
funds through payment Of faxed in
voices.
Nickel is said to have confessed
his part in the scheme.
The frauds alleged in the indict-
ments returned here were said to
have been carried out in statements
which Rapport filed with the War
Contracts Price Adjustment Board
IN Washington. The statements
were made in connection with re-
negotiation of war contracts between
August l. 1s43, and April 80, 1914,
the indictment said.
Concealed in the war contract ex-
penses, the document charged, were
horse race bets, the cost Of LIQUOR
and lavish parties, repayment Of
personal debts, and purchase Of fur
coats for girl friends.
Also mentioned were payroll pay
ments to persons who gave the cor
poration no services.
Some Of these persons were de-
scribed as fictitious" and Rapport
also was accused OF having "in-
vented" corporations which did not
exist, so that he could pad his ex-
penses further. The items were said
to have included purchases" of
glass from nonexistent companies
and administrative expenses which
disguised personal spending.
Made Bomb Sights.
The contracts involved in rene
gotiations dealt with in the indict-
ment totaled $575.0 900.
Rapport made bomb sights and
other instruments for the Army and
Navy. /
The promoter is said to have
started the Ultima Optical Instru-
ment Co. with 5000 and to have
equipped it with borrowed money.
He is under $25 900 bond In New
York. He was arrested and required
to post the bond pending action Of
the grand jury here.
FBI records show that Rapouorta
served several terms in New York
prisons for larceny and other crimes.
The case was presented to the
grand jury by two special assistants
to the Attorney General, Frank w.
Towey and Edward Corcoran. It was
returned before Chief Justice Bo-
litha j. Laws, who issued a bench
warrant for Rapoport's appearance

condition and this situation will be
corrected as quickly as we can get

was true at Forest Grove. and the
