Whitten. Democrat, of Mississippi
in modifying his amendment for
the new fiscal year because there
was no chance of repeating it.
While repeal would have been
desirable. the fact that the new
rider will ease the ban on promo
tions considerably also is a sort
of victory, they say.
AS for rider banning leave ac-
cumulation, budget officials say
there is no basis for the charge
that they secretly favor it. They
point to President Truman'S
strong appeal to Congress to kill
the rider.
Senate Civil Service Committee
members, however. say they are
still convinced they did not receive
the cooperation and help from
the commission and Budget Bu-
reau to which they were entitled.
The Senate committee has been
waging a strong fight against the
House practice of adopting re-
strictive employe amendments as
part of appropriation bills. Com
mittee members also say they
haven't been helped by the in
difference of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee on this issue.

day caused postponement of the

IL. ). Merchant Fleet
Needs More Attention
Sawyer Tells Club

The Government has given
away millions of dollars to build
up European shipping. while the
United States merchant fleet has
become slow, vulnerable and obso-
lescent. Commerce Secretary Saw
yer said last night.
And yet. he told the Washing
ton Propeller Club, if this Nation
lis short of ships to transport
troops and materials and again
has to defend on foreign shipping
in a crisis, that could be we'll
fatal"
His address was delivered during
the annual dinner of the club, held
in the Mayflower Hotel in cele-
lbration of National Maritime Day.
Mr.. Sawyer described the feats
of the merchant marine in the
Korean war. In response to the
tremendous demands of Pacific
Transportation of personnel. war
material, coal and grain, he said:
i"Within a year and a half, we
literally doubled the tonnage Of
dry cargo and passenger ships
collectively operated by our major
steamship companies"
| But he warned there is no
ground for complacency. Our
active. privately owned merchant
fleet is middle-aged, and our re-
serve fleet is slow. vulnerable and
obsolescent," he declared.
The American merchant marine,
he said, needs a flow of new fast
tankers, passenger ships and dry
cargo ships.
Discussing the operation of the
ship sales program, Secretary Saw.
yer declared that occasional head
lines of seeming huge profits on
the resale of surplus ships may
have given the public an erroneous
impression of the whole ship sales
program. He said that, under the
Merchant Ship Sales Act of 1946,
a total of 1856 ships has been sold.
OF these, lib were for foreign
flag operations. and 843 for Ameri-
can flag operation, he said. The
net sale price of more than SIT
billion, he said, represented a IS
per cent return of the original
investment.
"As matter Of fact" he de-
clared, "the return on the original
construction costs of the ships
actually sold represents one of the
best records of the entire war sur
plus disposal program. Since al
most all these ships had seen hard
wartime service and the bulk of
them were slow. outmoded Liber-
ties. the return has been uni.
Iformly high"
The secretary noted that con-
sidering it's Importance, expend.
itureS for the United States mer-
chant marine have been ex-
tremely modest" He said, for
example, the potato price subsidy
from 1948 through 1850 exceeded
1926 million-"almost as much as
the entire ship construction SUBJ
sidy since 1886"
1T is possible" the speaker
said, that we have given free as
much to European shipping and
shipbuilding in four years as we
have spent on our own shipbuild-
ing in 16 years." ..
William U. Kirsch. president Of
the Washington Propeller Club,
presided at the dinner. Another
speaker was Col. Noah M. Brin-
son, vice president of American
; President Lines. and chairman Of
the Maritime Day Committee.
The event was one of many held
in the principal cities Of the
. country to commemorate the cele-
5 bration. May % was designated
! Maritime Day because it is the
t anniversary of the first crossing
of the Atlantic by a steam vessel,
the S, S. Savannah. in 1919.

KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Farm and household workers
newly covered by social security
now have the same old-age and

workers in commerce and in
dustry, according to Robert B.
Youmans, manager of the social
security office.
Regular work on a farm and
regular employment in a private
household means valuable rights
TO monthly retirement payments
for the worker and his family
and insurance payments for sur
vivors in case of the workers
death. The amount of the pay
ments to retired workers or to
survivors of deceased insured
workers depends on the amount
of the workers earnings.
The value of this insurance to
the family makes it important
for every regular farm worker
and household worker to assure
himself that his cash earnings
are being properly reported,
Youmans pointed out. Each
quarter, the amounts reported
are posted to the workers social
security account. Retirement and

survivors benefits are based on
the wages posted. Not all farm
workers and not all people work
ing in private homes are covered
by social security. Farm workers
build social security rights only
if they work for the same em"
ployer at least so days in a B.
month period; also, farm workers
must be employed by the same
employer continuously for three
months before their wages begin
to count toward social security
rights.
Employees doing household
work build social security r
only if they work in the
household on "a or more dlfF-
ent days in three months. Work
ing regularly each week on two
or more different days would
meet this test.
