QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

II worked for a dozen or more
different farmers last year.
was never paid over $25 to $50
by any one farmer and never
worked over a week or ten
days at one place. Is IL poss-
ible for me to pay my own
social security?
NO. Only a self-employed per-
son may report his earnings and
pay his own social security tax
Since you worked for wages
you were not self-employed
There is no way for you to get
credit for these wages you
earned from so many different
farmers as these small amounts
are not covered in the case of
farm labor To have your farm
wages count towards social Sc
curity you must be paid as
much as $50 cash wages by a
farm employer in a year or
work for him on 20 or more
different days in a year for
s wages figured on a time basis.
II am the step-father of ten
year-old boy. Can he receive
social security benefits on ac-
count of his own fathers death
last month?
step-child can receive ben
efits based on his own fathers
wage record only if: 1. He was
living with his father, or 2.
His father was contributing to
his support, or 8. He was not
living with and receiving more
than One-half his support from
you.
IL farm 160 acres of land / own.
Is it left up to me to decide if
| want to pay the social secur-
ity tax on my income from my
farm?
No. 1t is compulsory. Every
farm operator who clears
$400 or more in his taxable year
from self-employment must re-
port his earnings and pay the
social security tax. This ap-
plies to his net earnings either
from farming alone or combined
with earnings from any other
business he may operate.
For the year of 1855, / reported
my farm net earnings on the
optional method. May I change
to the regular method and re-
port my actual net earnings
from farming for 1857?
A farm operator may
change the method of report
ing his earnings from farming
IN any succeeding year.
If you have any questions per-
aiming to social security write or
isit the social security district

Delaware, or see the
ocial security representative when

entitled "Union Security"
Voters in six States will de-

to join 10 other States that

In a foreword TO the book,
AFL-CIO President George
Meany charges "propagandists"
have mislabeled the "right-to-
work" principle, and argues:
by weakening the ability Of
their unions to defend them, it
can only deprive workers Of
their genuine rights. 1t holds
only the promise Of weaker

Senator Mcclellan declared
last night that the Transfers

is boss.
For the first time, the Arkan-
sas Democrat publicly called
for Mr.. Hoffa's immediate
resignation or removal" as
president.
Corruption breeds corrup-
ton; violence breeds violence"
the chairman of the Senate
Rackets Committee said in q
prepared statement. adding:

bers seems to be enmeshed
throughout the hierarchy Of

arrogant disrespect for the
members Of his union"
Mr.. Hoffa's basic technique in
rebutting charges is TO cite
benefits he has won for Team
ster members. So far. oppoSi-
ton to him in the l.6-million-
member union appears to be
scattered and Intellectual.
Observers in other unions
have maintained for many
months that the only way to
topple Mr.. Hoffa from power
is to convince rank-and-file
that he really puts his own In
terests ahead Of theirs. that he
milks their treasures for his
own profit.
These observers say union
members paid little heed to
some spectacular accusations
against Dave Beck. MIR. Hoffa's
predecessor, but did turn
against him when the Rackets
Committee charged he had
chisled on union benefits for
the widow of an old friend.

Senator McClellan's sum-
mary of seven weeks Of hear
ings on the Transfers obvious
ly was calculated to arouse
rank-and-file union members
and the general public against
Mr.. Hoffa.
Taking note OF Mr.. Hoffa's

the public against letting him

than the people and greater
than the Government. This
situation even now Is critical

tends. Union membership is
