Turn Deaf Ear
70 oParley Bid
BY TOM HocE

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. R-
Rejecting Soviet efforts to include
Red China and North Korea in
the u. N. Assembly's Korean de-
bate, the United States and its
allies turned a deaf ear today to
Russia's call for new direct talks
on that divided land.
RusSia's Jacob Malik proposed
new Korean conference last
night after the Assembly's main
Political Committee had voted
over Soviet bloc opposition to in
vite South Korea to join in the
U. N. debate, which opened in the
committee yesterday.
A previous conference on the Ko-
rean question was held last June
in Geneva, with Red China partici-
pating. 1t ended in deadlock.
Before Malik threw in his pro-
posal for a new conference, U. S.
Delegate James j. Wadsworsh
made the U. S. position clear on
that score. Citing Red China's re-
cent sentencing of Is Americans as
spies, Wadsworth declared:
AT this time when Communist
China has just furnished fresh evi-
dence of its brutal and illegal treat
ment of captured personnel of the
United Nations Command in vio-
lation of the armistice agreement.
the members of this committee
will surely agree that conditions
for negotiations are not favor
able"
Wadsworth made plain that the
United States will not negotiate
unless the Communists show a
change of heart and accept the
two principles agreed upon by the
U. N. allies at the Korean phase
of the Geneva talks. They are:
1. The U. N. has the right to
repel aggression.
2. Elections in all of Korea should
be held under U. N. supervision.
Malik in his speech offered no
grounds for hope that the
current debate would produce
solution for Korea. He stated re-

Wee Willie
Wrinkle Has
Winning Ways
By MARGARET FoREsMAN

Sure, Willie is hound dog. He's
the pet of the M. Ignatius Testers
and their four children, sharing
their home at Roosevelt Boulevard
and Avenue E.
But he's no plain, ordinary
hound. He is beagle hound, mem
ber Of that breed which has re-
placed the cocker spaniel as. the
most popular canine among Ameri-
can dog lovers.
Also Willie has an impressive
name. According to his pedigree he
is Wee Willie Wrinkle, and he is the
14-month-old son Of a beagle couple
now living in Minnesota.
Willie became the property Of the
Testers when he was six weeks
old. He and his sister, Gypsy Jane,
were purchased from a litter pro-
duced by dogs owned by a Navy
couple here, Dave and Mary Ann
Mas, who have since returned to
their home in the north.
Despite the cold-weather habitat
Of his ancestors, Willie is well ac-
climated to Key West. Mrs. Lester
says he is not troubled by the heat
and humidity as long g-haired dogs
are likely t0sbe in this area.
From the first, there were indi-
cations that Willie was a cut above
the average dog, and the Testers
began training him for competition
In dog shows.
He has been shown in IA shows
to date, in the Southern Circuit
Tennessee, Georgia, North Caro-
.lina), in Miami and in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and he doesn't come home
without bringing his share Of the
honors.
For those who are conversant
with dog show lingo, Willie has
eight ribbons as first in class;
seven as winners dog; and three
as best Of variety.
In one recent show he was en-
tered in competition with the en-
tire hound group, and despite his
youth and comparative inexperi-
ence, be won first place in field
Of rs hounds.
His handler in previous shows
has been Winston Booth, profess
sional handler from Knoxville,
Tenn, but Mrs. Lester plans to do
the job herself when he appears in
the Grapefruit Circuit competition
in Florida after the first Of the
year.
The Testers are hopeful Of
arousing enough interest among
local dog-owners to institute the
holding Of future dog shows in Key
West.

possible for him to begin earning
social security credits in his work
He realize that his earnings from
work under the social security pro-
gram would count towards bene-
fits when he retired. But as a
young man, he was more interest
ed in the protection that his work
could earn for his wife in case of
his death. He didn't want her to
have the financial difficulties that
his mother had when his father
died
I quickly told the young farm
worker about the provision in the
new law that will enable him. and
over two million other farm en-
plOyees who couldn't meet the reg
ularly employed" test before. to
have the protection of social Sc
curity.
Under the new law, the work reg
ularity test for farm employees has
been eliminated. Beginning Janu-
airy 1, 1855, the farm helper is in
cluded under social security if he
earns 500 in cash wages from anv
one farm operator in a calendar
year.
If the farm employees is maid
from 500 up to $199.99 in cash
wages in a calendar year by one
farm employer, he will earn one
quarter of social security credit
He will be credited with two quar-
ters If he earns $500 to S299. 80 in
year, and he will receive three
quarters if he makes between S3OO
and $399.99 in cash from the same
farmer. For any cash earnings of
S4OO or more in a year from a farm
employer, the farm worker will ne
credited with four quarters of COW
erage or credit for the entire year
His earnings up to $4,000 will be
reported for social security pur-
poses. Total cash wages of less
than 500 paid him by any one
farm operator will not be credited
to his social security account.
The farm operator will report
the wages that he has paid to the
employee and he will send social
security tax contributions to the
Director of Internal Revenue. A
four per cent social security tax
contribution is made. Two per cent
Of this is deducted from the farm
employees wages and the remain
ing two per cent is contributed by
the farm operator.
My young friend will wont to get
his social security card since he
has never had one. He will have
to show the card to his farm en-
plOyers when he performs farm
work that is covered by social Sc
curity.

Changes In Your
Social Security
~ MYRON MILROuER
Manager Of the Wilmington Social
Security office


Manager of the Wilmington Social
Security office
Today / want to explain the pro-
visions in the 1854 amendments to
the social security law that will
affect agricultural employees. Farm
operators will want TO know about
the changes in this part of the law
if they have hired help OH their
farms or if they work for some
farm employer for part of the
year.
Under the 1850 Amendments to
the Social Security Act, some farm
workers were brought into the old
age and survivors insurance pro-
gram for the first time. But there
was a work regularity test which
kept many farm workers from
building social security protection
for themselves and their families.
Take the case of the young farm
worker who came to see me re-
Gently. After he had introduced
himself, he gave ME a brief ac-
count of his life. He'd been born
and raised on a small farm When
he became IS, he had enlisted in
the Army. He was serving over
seas when he received news of his
fathers death. His mothers next
letter told him that she was sell
ing the family farm. Since she
needed the cash very badly, she
would have to settle hurriedly for
a price far below the farm prop
ertys actual value. A widows ben
etits under social security might
have enabled her to keep the farm
or at least avoid selling it on a
poor market. But self-employed
farm operators were not covered
by the social security law until the
amendments this year. When my
young friend returned from the ser
vice, he couldn't work on the fam
lily farm as he had planned, of
course. So be began looking for
farm work with other farm employ
ers. He soon built a reputation as
a good worker, and farmers were
glad to hire him when they had
work. He worked steadily
throughout the year; but largely
because of the nature of farming in
that area, he worked for many diff
ferent employers in the course of a
year.
This meant that he wasn't con-
sidered regularly employed" un-
der the social security provisions
of 1850. The test for being "regu-
larly employed" required him to
work for the same farm employer
for at least five months in the
year. Since he didn't meet this
test, his wages as a farm hand
weren't counted toward social Sc
curity.
Now the young farm worker had
come to ask me about the new law
for a very special reason. He was
thinking of getting married. He
hoped that the law would make it
