KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

persons can stretch their social
security tax dollar and save book
work by being fully aware of
the procedure of correctly re-
porting wages and income under
the Social Security Act, says
Robert B. Youmans, manager of
the GAINESVILLE office of the
Social Security Administration.
Most employers in this area
insure against delinquent or in
correct reporting by following
an orderly procedure in which
they take an employees name
and number directly from the
account-number card at the time
of hiring, record such informa-
ton in a permanent section of
their bookkeeping system, and
establish quarterly date line
for completion of the reports
we'll in advance Of the due date.
Youmans pointed out that the
quarterly returns covering en-
ployees' wages are due during
the month of July and October
1853. The self-employed bust
nessman, however, make his own
personal social security tax re-
turn when he files his annual
/ income tax. The next report will
be due after January l in 1854.
There are two common errors
which make necessary addition
al contacts with employers, en-
ployees, or self-employed per-
sons. The first and most COM
mon, is the submitting of tax
return bearing incorrect infor-
nation in the form of a wrong
| number or name. Such factors
as changing of name by mar
riage and failure to change the
name on the social security re-
cords, the transposition of digits

Denote Defined Purpose
And Thouqhtfui Plonninq

These acts reflect thought
full planning. They have de-
manded work-the earnest,
exhausting work of hundreds
of conscientious legislators.
They denote purpoSe-clearly
defined purpose.
When I first appeared
before the 83d Congress six
months ago to deliver the
Administrators message on
the State of the Union, 1
tried to define what I re-
ferred to as "the grand
labors" confronting this Gov.
ernment. They were these:
application of our in.
fluence in world affairs with
such fortitude and foresight
that it will deter aggression
and eventually secure peace;
Establishment of national
administration of such integ-
rity and efficiency that its
honor at home will ensure re-
spect abroad:
encouragement of those in
centives that inspire creative
initiative in our economy, and
Dedication to the well-being
of all our citizens and to the
attainment of equality Of op-
portunity for ALL"
These purposes give meaning
and sense to all that has oc-
Cured in these last six months.
We have adhered firmly to
these purposes.
Let us begin with the f1rst:
the exercise of our influence in
world affairs in the quest OF
lasting peace.
And here let us begin with
that tragic land of war: Korea.
We made plain from the out
set our determination. shared
by our allies in the United Ma
tions, to f1nd-to fight for how
ever long to win-an honorable
armistice in Korea. We speeded
the equipment and training Of
Republic of Korea troops, in

We have now gained truce

are the problems to be met be-
fore the people of Korea enjoy

Entry of 214,000
Refugees Authorized

Again and again, as we have
faced these problems of inter-
national trade and world di-
plomacy, we have stressed the
central fact that we are con-
cerned with the plain needs
and hopes of the ordinary
peoples of the earth. So we
have undertaken the shipping
of a million tons of wheat to
help meet the famine in
Pakistan. So the Congress has
authorized this Government to
make available excess reserves
of crops to friendly nations in
need. And so we have author
lied the entry into the United
States of some 214,000 refu-
gees. These are men and
women of the same character
and integrity as their and our
ancestors who. generation upon
generation, have come to
America to find peace and
work, to build for themselves
new homes in freedom.
In all these ways, then-in
every deed and decision-we
have sought to apply our
strength in the world so as to
deter aggression and to secure
peace. We have accepted the
burdens of world leadership
with clear mind and confident
heart-for we know that to
strengthen other freed men is
to serve our own freedom and
safety.
1 come now to the second
objective of which I spoke six
months ago-the building of
an honest, efficient adminStra-
ton, honored at home and re-
spected abroad.
The repair and reorganiza-
ton of so huge a piece Of po-
litical machinery as the United
States Government is a colos-
sal undertaking.
We have made a good start.
We began with certain mega
tive tasks.
There were some security
risks still in the Government
They have been swiftly ex-
PEELED.
There were some incompe-
tents. They are lingering no
longer than it takes to dis
cover them.
There were simply too many
people on the payrollS. We
nave reduced the number by
stringent hiring policies that
have cut the total by many
tens of thousands.
The positive task of better
ing Government has produced
less dramatic but even more
profound results.
We submitted to the 83rd
Congress 10 major reorganiza-
ton proposals. All 10 were
approved. This is an unprece-
dented record.
Reorganization itself bears
upon plans and practices Of
even wider scope. The whole
area of Federal-State relations
is being put under review by Q
commission to bring order and
sense into a field full Of con-
fusion and conflict. And within
the Federal Government itself,

legislative Branches have

Increased Participation
In Farm Credit System

In this same spirit, the
Congress authorized prompt
emergency farm loans to our
drought-stricken areas of the
Southwest: and representatives
Of every farm area and or
ganization have been brought
together to help shape laws
making our farm population
more productive and more Sc
cure than ever. Today I signed
a piece of legislation which
farm organizations have been
seeking for many years. This
new legislation provides for
increased participation by
farmers in the farm credit syS-
tenn.
Serving this same purpose,
we have been preparing spe-
ciflc recommendations on labor
legislation to submit to the
next session of Congress-to

Buying Power Affected

This striving to bring the

Our overriding concern is
not with elaborate theories of
economics, but the plain we'll
being of all the people. And
the balancing of the Gov
ernment'S budget is critical
simply because it can help
every family in our land to
balance its own budget.
Moreover, in pursuit of this
great objective of encouraging
individual initiative, we have
taken a series of major eco
nomic decisions. To free our
economy from bonds that de-
natured healthy and necessary
competition, we abolished a
labyrinth of needless controls.
To reform a tax structure that
threatens to smother free ini-
tiative, the Treasury and the
appropriate Committees of the
Congress have begun a total
review of our tax system. Their
recommendations will be ready
for action by the next session
of Congress.

Hove Not StifIed Cries
For Food or Freedom

All these developments
from the still smouldering East
to the strengthening West
could not fail to have i'm
pressed the peoples Of the
Soviet world. Neither purges
nor police nor prisons have
been able to stif1e the growing
cries for food-and for free
dom. Cold oppression has
been repaid with cold hate.
In Germany, we have urged
the Soviet Union to join with
the Western nations in speed
ing that nations unity. Even
as we have acted. the people
of Germany have delivered
an eloquent message of their
own to Soviet occupation au-
thorities. It has been a mes
sage of def1ance-delivered by
the thousands Of Berlin work.
ers who stormed through their
streets in the memorable June
uprising: and the tens of
thousands who have deflantly
come to West Berlin for the
needed food sent by this Gov
ernment for their relief.
Our action in Berlin-this
reaching out to people to help,
to feed, to strengthen their
faith in freedom-partakes of
the same spirit directing our
course in Korea.
There is a significant con-
nection between these distant
spots on the great globe.
Berlin and Korea have been
two of the scenes chosen by
the Communist world for fla
grant acts of aggression since
World War II.
Today precisely these same
two places present dramatic
evidence of the will of free
men to stay free and to make
freedom work.
No clearer proof is needed
of the power of the free world
not only to defeat what is
evil but also to create what
is good.
We intend to keep the
knowledge of that power be-
fore all men.
The essential force behind
this power is the unity of the
free world, and one essential
basis for that unity, in turn.
is economic health nourished
by mutually beneficial trade.
The 83d Congress has shown
clear understanding of this
truth. This is the significance
of the Congress actions in
simplifying our customs regu-
lations and extending the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act.
These actions again testify
to that growing unity of opin-
ion which rises above party
lines to see clearly the need for
profitable trade throughout the
free world. These actions
while consistent with concern
for our own induStries-recog-
nize also our own dependence
upon vital foreign markets and
foreign sources of raw ma

Have Won Two
Precious Victories

Yet we also soberly know
that we have won two precious
victories.
We have shown, in the win
ming of this truce, that the
collective resolve Of the free
world can and will meet ag-
gression in Asia-or anywhere
in the world.
And we have won the oppor-
tunity to show that free peo-
pie can build in peace as boldly
as they fight in war.
We have already given signs
of our power and will do just
that. The Congress has au-
thorized the spending of 200
million additional dollars for
the reconstruction and reha-
bilitation of South Korea. This
action springs directly from
the heart of America. which
has contributed so generously
to private relief organizations
like the American-Korean
Foundation working to heal
and help our stricken ally. I
have now invited all the skilled
specialists of the United
States forces in Korea-engi-
neers. signal corps, technicians
of all kinds-to offer their
knowledge to help rebuild the
land whose freedom they have
helped so bravely to save.
There is no finer task that
could be entrusted to these
men. I know that under the
leadership of General Clark.
General Weyland. Admiral
Briscoe and General Taylor,
the results will bring pride to
every American. Our purpose
is sane and simple: to make
secure and productive the
freedom that has been saved
and to make it inspiring
for the people for whom it
has been saved.
For we know this: No mill
tary victory. no diplomatic
triumph, no precision-perfect
foreign policy of our own can
mean very much for very long
if it does not bring hope to
hundreds of millions of people
who live today in fear or need
or hunger. AS surely as we
seek lasting peace, we shall
find it only as these people
come to have faith in their
own future in freedom.
This. then, is, in one area,
the wise and purposeful use of
our strength of which I spoke
six months ago.
We have pursued the same
objective on the other side of
the world. In Western Eu-
rope. we have seen-and con-
stantly 'aided-the slow, steady
growth of unity, of economic
health and of military de-
fenSe.
With the nations of Western
Europe now producing even
more than they did before
World War II, it has become
possible to devote most of our
foreign operations to the needs
Of military defense. This
means, for us as Americans,
that these billions of dollars
directly serve our own national
security. They have thereby
made possible part of the great
savings effected in our own
Department of Defense.
