YOU AND YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY


 Are you throwing money away Some workers are not showing their social security card to their employers when they start on a new job." stated Tom Burtscher. field representative of the Juneau Social Security office.
 Not showing your card is like not giving your name or policy number when you pay your in- surance premiums, for your so- cial security card ls your insur- ance policy. It can pay you monthly benefits in case of dis ability, death, or retirement Yet many people forget or don't reaI- ize that eligibility for Social Se- curity disability, survivors, or retirement benefits depend upon having their earnings credited to their individual social security account. If they don't Five their social security number, they don't get credit. Thus a person may lose out on MS social security benefits. If he doesn't lose out entirely his payments may be lower

Unfair to Hospitals

Republication cost figures cited to
a House Appropriations subcommittee
by the Washington Hospital Council
show clearly the inadequacy of the rate
for INDECENT care recommended by the
Commissioners. The council disclosed
that the average cost to private hos
pitfalls of granting free care to patients
unable to pay has now reached $28 a
day. Yet the hospitals participating in
the INDECENT program are being paid
only $18 day by the District. And the
Commissioners have suggested a daily
rate of only $18.65 for the next fiscal
year.
The private hospitals are not ask
ing for full reimbursement of their costs
in treating INDECENT patients, however.
They have agreed to accept $3.50
day-which is the cost of care at the
District General Hospital Reverend
Thomas ]. ODonnell, regent of George
town University Medical School, told
the subcommittee it is "unrealiStic" to
pay private hospitals less than the cost
of hospitalizing indigentS at the mu-
nicipal institution. We agree.

Outspoken Critics

The Senate Finance Committee has
received wide variety of comment on
the national economy, and the forces
bearing most sharply upon it, from the
queStionnaireS circulated several months
ago to top business and industrial exec
utives. Initiated as part of an overall
study of the Nations financial condition,
the committee inquiry was not directed
primarily or specifically to the current
recession. It has taken on added time
illness, however, because of the economic
trend this year, and it is significant
that many of those answering the queS-
tionnaires have directly related last
years imitation to this years business
showdown.
There was virtually unanimous re-
lection of the theory that creeping"
imitation must be inevitable in an ex-
panding economy, or that it can easily
be turned on and off as a means of
maintaining a boom time psychology.
Perhaps the strongest denunciation of
this tolerance" of imitation was voiced
by Ralph j. Cordiner, chairman of Gen.
eral Electric Company, in discussing the
misguided notion" that it provides a
simple cure for unemployment and
other economic ills. 1t is, he said,
"beguiling error" which has led to harm
full economic and political Judgment ION
the part of millions of the decision
makers who determine the course of the
economy"
To Mr.. Cordiner and to others,
however, the most damaging pressure
contributing to the wage-price inf1a-
tionary spiral has come from the labor
unions. The General Electric chairman
was joined by such other spokesman as
Harlow Curtice, president of General
Motors, and Eugene Holman, chairman
of Standard Oil of New Jersey, in de-
nouncing the monopoly power" of
unions and their inSiStence upon wage
increases that have outpaced any in
crease in productivity.
This is not the first time, of course,
that emphasis has been directed at the
relationship between wages and pro-
ductivity and the economic necessity
of justifying wage increases by produc-
tivity gains. The point has been made
several times by President Eisenhower
and it is particularly relevant in period
when the economy is balanced precari-
ouSly between what may be an even
deeper recession or a new phase of
destructive imitation. In this instance,
the Senate Finance Committee has not
yet attempted an evaluation of the
opinions submitted. In due time, how
ever, it should be able to make some
constructive recommendations.

Tourist From Bonn

For the next few days this Capital
City will have the pleasure and honor
of playing host to one of the Stalwarts
OF the free world He is 74-year-old
14aodor HeuSs, President of the West
German Federal Republic. After his
state visit here, he will travel to many
parts of our country, as far west as San
Francisco, and he has made clear that
he wants to do it as informally as pos
s.JIe-aS if he were Just another tourist
eager to see the sights and come in
friendly contact with the American
people.
But Dr. HeuSS, of course, is not just
another tourist. Although his Office is
more or less ceremonial compared to
Chancellor Adenauer'S, he is towering
f sure, as is the Chancellor himself, in
German life. Witty, learned and very
popular among his compatriotS, he has
played highly influential role for many
years as journalist, educator and po-
li,ical philosopher Long before Hitler,

Republic, and during the dark days

emerged as one Of his country's key
leaders, Trainer of the Bonn constitu-
ton and powerful factor in free Ger
many's rise as strong democracy allied
with the West.
Accordingly, both because of his Of
flee and his personal stature, President
HeuSs will have to put up with some
pomp and circumstance as he visits
among us. In keeping with his request,
however, the formalities will be held to
a minimum. Further than that, as far
as unofficial America is concerned, he
can be sure of warm welcome wher-
ever he goes welcome carrying with
1t the sincere wish that he will feel at
home and enjoy himself, Just as much
as any relaxed tourist, throughout his
Sojourn in our country.

Two Pros Draw Cards
A pair of real profession

pair Of real professionals" have
called for "cards" in the New York po-
litical game, and there is every indica-
ton that the stakes will be virtually
unlimited
James A. Farley, Just turned 10,
yesterday announced his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. The night before,
Leonard w. Hall made his expected
bid for the Republican nomination for
Governor.
The two have considerable in conn
mon-notably demonstrated compe-
tence in politics. Each has been ma
tional chairman of his party, and
showed in that exacting post the energy,
organizing skill and SurenesS of political
instinct essential to success. Mr.. Farley
was one of the real powers behind the
Democratic national victories of 1882
and 1936-bowing out only when he
broke with the late President Franklin
Roosevelt over the latter'S decision to
run for an unprecedented third term
in 1910. Mr.. Hall was Republican ma
tional chairman through most of the
first Eisenhower administration and
part of the secondhand kept the G. o. P.
organization firmly in hand during Mr.
EiSenhowerS serious illnesses before the
1856 campaign. Mr.. Farley had addi-
tional governmental experimental a
kind helpful in political organization
as Postmaster General during two
Roosevelt administrations. Mr.. Hall has
IN
State Legislature and seven more as
Congressman from his Long Island
district.
With all this, however, it is too soon
to predict how either will fare in their
present bids. The Democrats have high
hopes of capturing the seat being va
Gated by Republican Senator Ives.
Mayor Wagner of New York City and
former Air Force Secretary Thomas K.
Finletter have been more widely men,
toned than Mr.. Farley for the party
nomination. On the Republican guber-
Material sidelines, although still unan-
nounced, are Nelson A. Rockefeller and
State Senator Walter J. Mahoney of
Buffalo.
Political stakes always are high in
New York. Both parties, and the indi-
viduals now maneuvering for position,
are particularly aware in this off-year
that power and prestige won now prob
ably will have even greater value in
presidential 1860. In some year soon,
faster growing California may become
the Empire State" in terms of national
politics. But as of now New York holds
and deals the aces.

Co-EouoI Americas

Better relations with Latin
America is already a political
battle cry in the United
States. May it become a
heartfelt and successful cru
SADIE.
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganiZation (NATO) should
have been and should forth
rightly become North and
South Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization." Then South
American states would doubt
less feel more at home in
United Nations. The latter is
sometimes confused with
NATO, which it is not. May
the United Nations live long
and bring peace.
What the Spanish culture
of South America did for
North America should make
our genuine and permanent
co-equal relations with Latin
America something to be
longed for and cherished on
our side. That influence
should be the touchstone
through which our country
will find true and lasting
rapprochement with South
America.
Where there is a will there
is a way. And the will is
surely here at long last for
our country to become neigh
bors, on a strictly co-equal
basis, with the 1873 million
Spanish and Portuguese
speaking people of South
America.

Judue-Mode Law

The security of the United States
is not going to stand or fall on the
Supreme Courts ruling in the case of
Frank Bonetti. The ruling does have
bearing, however, on the matter of
judicial lawmaking."
Bonetti first came to the United
States as an alien in 1923. He joined
the Communist Party in 1892 and re-
manned member until the end of 1886.
In 1887 he left this country, abandon
ing all rights of residence here, to fight
with the Spanish Republican Army. He
returned in 1888 Subsequently, depor-
tation proceedings were started on the
ground that he had violated 1850
statute by becoming Communist after
entering" the United States.
The essential question as seen by
the court majority was which Gentry"
was controlling-the entry in 1923 or
the entry in 1888. If the former, he was
deportable; if the latter, he was not. Six
of the judges, interpreting what they
called the cloudy provisions of the
law, said that on the facts of this case
the 1888 entry was controlling and that
Bonetti could not be deported.
We do not think it makes any diff
ference, as far as the national security
is concerned, whether Bonetti stays or
goes. And it certainly is more merciful
to let him stay. But this does not dis
pose of the dissenting opinion, written
by Justice Clark and concurred in by
Justices Frankfurter and Harlan.
They thought that the intent of
Congress was quite clear and that Be-
netti should have been deported. In
effect, they said, the majority opinion
avoided this result by writing the word
"last" (entry) into the statute. And Jus
tice Clark, speaking for himself and his
fellow dissenterS, added: II would not
so amend the statute in disregard of
the long and uniform judicial, legisla-
tive and administrative history whereby
ENTRY has acquired a defnitive, tech
nical gloss, to wit, its ordinary meaning
and nothing more or less"
In short, the court majority is &C
cused of judicial lawmaking. And the
accusation is put forward, not by some
politicians trying to diScredit the court,
but by one third of the courts own
membership.

The grim determination Of
the President to have his own
way, to the last crossed 1T"
and dotted 81" in the re-
organization of the armed
forces, has been, to one who
has followed closely the
course of this movement for
the past ten years, a source
OF grave apprehension,
though certainly by no means
unexpected.
Nevertheless, the bitter
ness and violence of his at
tack, iraScible in tone, ir-
rational in content. upon the
current congressional bill, is
shocking and frightening.
The bills provisions against
which he has so intemper-
ately inveighed constitute
only a final, baSic,- last-ditch
preservation of the constitu-
tional separation of the vari-
Gus services, with measures
to insure their continued
obedience to the will of the
people-in contradistinction
to one-man control, whether
civilian, pSeudo-civilian, or
outright military. This is the
essential, the ineluctable diff
ference between government
by the people and dictator
ship.
These provisions deny only
powers which the President
and his Defense Secretary
have, on their own behalf and
that of all their as yet I'M
chosen essors, right
eously disavowed any inten-
ton ever to exercise. Yet he
has demanded them, in full,
without let or hindrance. And
since, even while claiming
them to be aimed at strength
ened Civilian control" (by
which he does mean one
man-iSm), he has himself in.
voked his own military status
to further his demands, it
would seem pertinent to raise
at least one question.
If, by some personal quirk
of reasoning, he can conjure
up a state Of general officer
INSTRUMENTATION arising from
these provisions-which do
no more than maintain the
bare fundamentals of our
existing and historical sys-
tem-does he then consider
all our duly commissioned
officers, under that system, to
have been in a state of in
subordination during the
years of his own military serv-
ice?
