Higher Social Security
Deductions 10 Affect
275,00O in D. {.

About 275,000. employees in
private business here will have
~ cents of every dollar with
held from their wages under the
old-age and survivors insurance
system beginning January /. in
stead of the present 1-cent on
each dollar, Social Security Of
ficials estimated today.
Employers here, believed to be
about $4,000, also will have to
pay 1h cents instead Of a cent
on every payroll dollar.
These two payments go toward
the social security fund out OF
which presons covered by the law
will receive benefits. Payments
will 60 not only to the wage
Garner In old age retirement, but
also to the wage earner's i'm
mediate survivors after his death.
Under the social security law
of 1887 the l per cent deduction
was supposed to have increased
several times since that time.
But Congress froze the figure at
/ per cent each time.
Victor Sadd, manager OF the
Washington field Office Of the
Social Security Administration
emphasized the Importance OF
accuracy on the part of both en-
ployes, as the change goes into
effect. ....
"Only in this way" he said,
'can the wage Garner be certain
that he is getting full credit for
all the old-age and survivors in
surance he is buying"
1.-The files of the Bureau Of Old
Age and Survivors Insurance
have 10000, 900 names and num-
bers," Mr.. Sadd explained" Bet
ter than 10000 are John Smith,
and more than 5000 are Joe
johnson. But each and every
John Smith and Joe johnson has
a different social security num-
Der.
"The name alone is not
enough" he warned. That's
why It's 50 very important for
each worker to show his social
security card to his employer the
moment he is hired"
Mr.. Sadd also emphasized that
workers, particularly women who
have married since getting their
social security cards, should have
the records of the Social Security
Administration corrected to show
any change In name. A form for
this purpose is available at the
field Office. 1400 Pennsylvania

STATEMENT OF
HON. WALTER D
Chairman. Leg. Assembly
before the subcommittee of
the Comm. on Interior and
Insular Affairs

Insular Affairs
SENATOR KERR: Give the re-
porter your name and tell us what
you have on your mind.
Mr.. HODGE: My name, sir, is
Walter Hodge, l am Chairman of
the Legislative Assembly of the
Virgin Islands.
First, / wish to say / am a farm
er by occupation. I am a veteran
of World War II, having seen SER
vice in the Pacific Ocean area.
I have been in the Legislative
body since shortly after my re-
turn from the Pacific in 1916. l
am just q years of age.
would like to be very brief this
morning, gentlemen, in speaking
on this Virgin Islands Company,
which is in the bill now up be-
fore the Senate for consideration
and before your Honorable Com
mittee here.
First, I would like to touch on
the need for the re-chartering of
the Virgin Islands Company. / am
sure, gentlemen, that you know
the history of the Company, why
it was created-to stop the Red
Cross from feeding the people in
the islands during the economic
depression we. had there during
1884.
There are certain business UNI
certainties that now exist in the
islands on account of the people
there not being sure of the char
tering of the Virgin Islands Com
pany. During the month of June
last year, when the people ex-
pected the company to be rechar-
tered and it was only granted
ed a year continuation, it caused
a sort of economic %stagnation
there in the islands. in view of the
fact that people~who were willing
to invest their private capital and
spend money, even employees of
@
the companies, who were willing
to- maze loans, to buy homes, or

IN
of the company as the conditions
exist now.
SENATOR r From my
knowledge, l have been there, l
agree with you.
MR. HODGE: l have found UP
here in the United States Of Anne
RIGA, we have several thousand
Virgin Islanders who have had to
leave the islands on account of
economic conditions there. l found
there are many people here who
have made money and who have
money invested in the United
States, some of my very own ia
mily, who would be willing, if
they are sure of the islands max
ing progress, to return to the is
lands & invest their money there.
I hardly think there is anybody
who loves to be at home more
than the Virgin Islanders. / be-
lieve that with the passage of this
bill, it would help to keep the re-
sidents of the islands in them.
During last year when the COM
pany was granted a recharter,
there was an exodus out of 10000
people, we had people leaving
there at the rate of 10 and Is on
the average per day.
SENATOR GORDON: Where
did they go?
Mr.. HODGE: They came to the
United States, mostly to New
York, some went to Ohio, to seek
a living.
SENATOR KERR: The record
shows they are domiciled in most
of the States. Senator some 20 to
Is thousand, I believe, of the Vir-
gin Islanders.
SENATOR GORDON: Those
were people who were willing to
work for a living instead of want
ing to sit by and have somebody
feed them, too.
SENATOR KERR: It might
even be, Senator, that they were
those who found that it was very
difficult to get an opportunity to
work for a living down there and
they came where there was work.
SENATOR GORDON: That is
right, those who we're willing to
work and were fearful that they
could not have work there and
went elsewhere to find it.
You will admit there are some
folks who are not too interested
in getting a job.
Mr.. HODGE: / would not admit
that. There are people who are
willing to leave the islands to seek
employment elsewhere, who can
not afford to leave.
SENATOR KERR: Who have
no way to get out.

LIFE AT 4
LANCE
By DAVID BETHEA

The election last Tuesday has
revealed some very interesting
facts about the trend of thinking
throughout the contry. Is it grow
ing mere liberal, or more reaction
airy? No one can determine that.
Time wilt appraise and evaluate
the political progress. The num-
Der of liberals elected, does
point to- progress, but there are
also some reason retrospect. They
fail to grasp the trend which is
steadily moving forward so they
stand stavely, stalwartly, think
ing Of the days before "the good
old days" but they are gone fer
ever. They left not Of their own
accord, but by the pressure Of
economic conditions over which
man as an lnfallible creature,
could not control.
Yes time, somehow, pauses not
fer these fragile efforts which are
too often difficult for men. In
1888, the country faced one Of it's
most serious problems, that of
sustaining its economy, and only
the New DEAL with it's corps
Of economic experts, giving it a
shot Of socialism, lifted it. Those
social stimulants, seemed radical
at that time, are still grounded
in or economy as irnmovable as
the economy itself, and as time
marches on, the world becomes
more and more dependent upon
all it's inhabitants, and not just
a few.
