New Social
Security For
The Disabled

The disability freeze" pro-
vision added 10 the law py
the 1854 Amendments to the
Social Security Act, extends
this protection to workers
now over SIS If they were I'M
able to work because of dis
ability before reaching that
age" Bursey explained.

The local District Manager
also pointed out that this

a prolonged period because of
disability, might find their
social security benefits cut
down considerably or lost
completely by the time they
reached IS and were other

Under the new disability
freeze" provisions, a worker
who has been totally dis
abled for work for 6 months
or more, with a total dis
ability which is expected to
continue indefinitely, can APP
ply to have his social security
record frozen as of the time
his disability began. Then.
when the time comes for
figuring up the monthly ben

or to his family in case of
his death, the years when
he had no earnings because
of his disability are not

To the Employees:

To the Employees:
It is very gratifying to report that our
mutual efforts last year resulted in the pro-
duction and shipment of more steel than ever
before in Bethlehem's history.
The expansion and improvement of our
facilities to meet growing demand for steel
products have brought benefits to our company
and employees through increased production
and earnings.
1t was notable year, one which showed
that our large investments for growth have
been bearing fruit. We cannot stop here.
The United States is growing and the steel
industry must keep pace with that growth. Our
rising population with its steadily increasing
per capita consumption of steel creates a
demand for goods using steel which must be
supplied by private enterprise.
Bethlehem's response has been to launch
the greatest expansion program In the COM
pany's history. Within the next two years we
shall spend some $500, 100000 in adding more
than 100000 tons of annual ingot capacity.
In recognition of the needs of the country,
the steel industry as whole is planning the
addition of 100000 tons of annual ingot ca
pacity in the next three years.
The financing of such program is not an
easy task In the past, much Of the expansion
was brought about by improving or adding to
existing installations However, additions to
capacity in this manner cannot continue in
definitely In the future, the industry, and
Bethlehem, must create entirely new capacity

-integrated from raw materials to the finished
product-to serve properly the demand of the
public. This is much more costly.
For this reason we must maintain adequate
earnings to attract investors and to have funds
to put back into the business This requires
the maintenance of sound financial practices,
realistic price and policies and continuing
progress on the chronological front. But we
must have also an enlightened public policy
to assist us by means of sound government tax
policies which will encourage expansion and
development.
Wehave been presented with many problems
in our endeavor to meet the great demand for
steel that occurred during the last half Of 1855.
New problems will arise But the response of
our employees through record production last
year shows what can be done.
am confident that the demand for steel will
remain strong throughout the year. Our ship
building prospects are improving significantly.
In short, the immediate future is clear and
promising. But the long range job, with all it
implies lies ahead. Production performance
such as we had in 1866 will immeasuraby
ease our task.
The maintenance of steel as free industry
in free economy is vital to our personal lib
critics. The growth of the industry is essential
to our economy because steel is basic ingre-
dent am sure Bethlehem will do it's part
