Social Security
Account Should
Be Checked

All benefits under the old
age and survivors insur-
ance provisions of the So
cial Security Act are based
on the record of earnings
credited to each Individual
account. For that reason it
is important that your ac-
count reflect all your earn
ings covered by the Social
Security Act.
Also, before any pay
ments can be made, in case
of your death or retire
ment, it is necessary that
a certain number of quar-
tiers of coverage be credited
to your individual account.
A quarter of coverage is a
3-month period beginning
January 1, April 1, July 1,
or October 1, in which q
worker has paid $50 or more
in covered wages Tor in
which he is credited with
500 or more in covered
self-employment.) If a self
employed person nets $500
or more in a full taxable
year he is given credit for
a quarters of coverage.
Therefore, it is doubly
important that your earn
ings covered by the social
security law be credited to
your account--to determine
whether a payment can be
made and to determine the
amount of such payments.
You can check your ac-
count once a year by mail
ing in a simple post card
Form OAR-7004 which can
be obtained at any field Of
flee of the Social Security
Administration. You can
learn the address of your
nearest field office from
your post office.

$4,000 a Month for
Dead Voice Station
By the ASsoeiotsd Press

A State Department lawyer
testified today that a much
criticized Voice of America prof.
ect near Seattle, previously an
nounced as suspended, still is
costing the Government $29, 900
a month.
The testimony to the Senate
Investigations subcommittee
came from Thomas E. Bracken,
who handles legal matters for
the Voice. He said the expenses
include reimbursement of the
contractor for the wages of six
guards and a supervisor. amount
ing to $4,000 a month, an aver
age of about $500 a month per
man.
Doesn't Blame "New Team"
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin. presiding at a pub
lie hearing, denounced the pay
mentS, but said he does not
blame "the new team" running
the Voice under Secretary OF
State Dulles for the slip-up If
there was one.
DR.. Wilson Compton testified
on February II. shortly before
he stepped out as head of the
international Information Ad-
ministration. which runs the
Voice, that he had ordered sus-
pension of the contract. under
conditions shutting off all pay
ment to j. D. Woods, who holds
the contract.
Senator Potter, Republican. of

whether DR.. Compton "misrep-
resented the facts" in his testi-
mony, or some subordinate had
failed to issue orders as DR..
Compton had instructed. Mr..
Bracken said he did not know.
DR.. Compton testified he
ordered this project halted, along
with a similar one for a trans
mitter in North Carolina, be-
cause of what he described as
preposterouS contract provisions.
He said these allowed contract
ors to charge the Government
for equipment they used.
The voice is designed as the
anti-Communist propaganda arm
of the State Department in the
cold war.
Has Some Questions.

vance Of the hearing the COM
mittee wants to know:
/. Whether costly changes
were made in building a trans
mitter tower for the Voice in
Vienna which reduced by 70 per
cent the range Of its programs
beamed at the Iron Curtain.
2. Whether high United States
Government officials agreed to
accept transmitting frequencies
