Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

The new social security bill will
now give benefits to around 45 mil
lion people, including self-employed,
regularly employed agriculture work
ers, certain Federal employees, state
and local employees and employees
of non-proft organizations if they
wish to come in under the system.
Professional people such as doctors,
osteopaths, optometrists, architects,
certified public accountants, etc, are
not included. However, if any of this
group is employed full time on salary
basis by some firm, then they would
come under social security. Full time
insurance statesmen on a salary basis
or door-todoor statesmen on salary
are also included.
However, men working on a COM
mission are self-employed as is the
man who owns a filling station or a
grocery store. If any of these or
similar groups earn as much as $500
a year, they come under social secur-
ity. These self-employed people will
pay their social security taxes along
with their incomes, once a year, in
stead of having it deducted from
wages or salaries. This means that
the first payment comes due on
March Is, 1852, for full coverage in
1851. The amount sclf-employed
people have to pay depends on their
earnings. But no one pays on more
than $4,000 year which is the maxi
mum income from which social secur-
ity deductions are made.
Farm owners on operators of rent
ed farms do not come under the Bill.
But regular hired hand does if he
works for any farmer for as long as
60 days and earns as much as $50
in that quarter, which is three
months time. The farm owner or
operator must deduct the social
security tax from the workers pay
and match the amount himself. Then
he sends this money to the Treasury
If family employees a regular
maid, cook or chauffeur on a weekly
or monthly basis, these employees
are covered and also any domestic
who works as much as "a days in any
quarter of the year for the same per-
son and earns more than $50 in that
time. Casual workers, such as maids
who come in by the day and who di-
vide their time among several en-
ployees are not included 1t hasn't
been decided how the tax on
dOmestics is to be collected. 1t may
be in the form of stamps bought and
then pasted in a book or by the en-
ployer collecting and sending it to
the Treasury, the same as the farm
owners.
There is an increase eventually in
the amount to be deducted. At present
l Y percent each is paid by the work
er and the employer on earnings up
to $4,000 a year Under the new plan
the worker and the employer will
still pay z percent but it will be on

Appeals Court Studies
Montgomery Ruling
On Non-Partisan Vote
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Md, May 49,
The Court of Appeals pondered
the question today of whether

charter county in the State-can
strip party labels from ballots used
in elections to the county council.
The county and a taxpayer ar
que it can. But two judges of the
Sixth judicial Circuit held a party
less election would violate Mary
land laws.
The furore began after Gerald
D. Morgan Of Bethesda filed an
application for candidacy for the
County Council October 2 and de-
manded that his name be printed
on a ballot to be voted only by
Democrats in the primary this
September. On
Protests Upheld Earlier.
Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward and Associate Judge Patrick
M. Schnauffer upheld protests by
the County Board of Election SUI
pervisors and the Democratic
State Central Committee for
Montgomery County.
Their decisions were appealed
by the county and Norman B.
Ames of Westmoreland Hills
president of the County Charter
Committee.
Morgan acted under the So
called Lindsay Law, passed in
l945, which asserts that charter
county councilmen must be NOM
mated and elected in the same
manner as State Senators and
Delegates.
Under Montgomery's law, q pri-
mary is held with the two high
men in each district and -four
leaders among candidates at large
are nominated for the general
election.
