Morse Price Level

In a statement made to the Nor
Wegian Parliament, prime minister
Oscar Torp said the Government
Rad reached the conclusion that
temporarily there seems to be no
indication that the domestic price
level in the near future will be sub
jected to substantially stronger
pressures from abroad through
higher import prices.
The Prime Minister observed
there We're no signs OF a sharp
price rise in the next few months,
nor is there any prospect OF a ma
jor price drop. However. he warn
cd that the picture might change
suddenly.

U. S. Wage System
Appeals To Morse

The advantages of negotiating
wage agreements for each plant,
rather than on an industry-widc
scale, are stressed in a report pub
lished last week by three Norwe-
gian specialists who in 1851 stud
led wage policies and labor-man-
agement relations in the United
States, under sponsorship of the
ECA Technical Assistance Pro-
gram. The 3man group believes
that a somewhat stronger differ
entiation of hourly wages in Nor.
wegian industry would nelp to
stimulate higher productivity.

Self Employed Must
Apply For SIS Numbers

Self-employed persons should
apply now for their social Sc
curity account number, urged
Mrs Mary King Temple; mana
ger of the Greenwood social Sc
curity field office. Although self
employed persons are not requir-
ed to report their 1851 earnings
until they file their income tax
returns next month, Mrs. Tenn
pie said that every self-employ-
ed person who does not have a
social security account number
card should apply for one now
to be certain he had the account
number when the tax report is
made. Applications for account
numbers can be obtained from
the local post office, or by con-
tacting the Greenwood social Sc
curity office, located at 2l9 w.
Market Street.
Most owners or partners in a
trade or business who have net
earning of $500 or more a year
are required by the new social
security law to pay in full the
tax of pa per cent of their net
earnings, up to the first $4,000
earned in the year, at the time
the combined income tax and
social security tax form is filed
This coverage of the self-employ-
ed is not voluntary, Mrs. Temple
emphasized. Participation is re-
quired by the law unless net
earnings from self-cmploymenr
are less than $500 a year, or if
the income is derived from the
ownership or operation of a farm
or from certain professions ex-
cluded by the law; such as physi--
clans, lawyers, dentists, profess
sional engineers, public account
ants, and some Others.
