Porter Says Reno
Suffered in Role of
Tigers Seupegout
By BURTON HAWKINS
star STAN Writer

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. TO-
Reno Bertoia spent five fruit
less years trying to become a
regular with the Tigers, but a
past and present teammate, j,
Nv. Porter, expects the 23-year-
old italian 10 make the grade
in a big way at third base for
the Senator's
"Bertoia got some rotten
treatment at Detroit" said
Porter. who hopes in his own
case that confusion about where
he should play is ended. Porter
wanuts to catch. He's tired Of
the hop-scotch treatment of
the past which saw him also
playing third base, first base
and the outf I'D.
"A couple of years ago Reno
was leading the league for the
first six weeks or So" Porter
continued. HE was hitting
400 or SO, but we weren't win
ming. AL Kaline and Harvey
Kuenn were hitting about $50,
and Ray Boone was in a slump.
There had been a lot of talk
about us winning the pennan.,
but we went sour right from
the start. We'd blow games in
the ninth inning, but for some
reason Jack Tighe (the mana
ger) and the coaches would
jump all over Bertoia because
he had made a misplay early
in the game.
Needed Someone to Blame
Reno was just a kid-a nice,
quiet kid-and I think the con-
tinual yelping at him made him
nervous and affected his play.
Anyway, 1t seemed like Tighe
and the coaches had to have
somebody to blame for the bad
showing Of the club. Bertoia
was the boy they picked on, but
the players didn't feel that way.
I think he'll help Washington. "
Porter, slim, 25-year-old red
head who signed with the
White Sox in 1851 for $65, 900
bonus, brought a first base
mans mitt, an outfielder's glove
and catcher's mitt to spring
training, but he hopes Manager
Cookie Lavagetto will let him
stick to catching.
IT think I'm a catcher" Jay
said. In 1852 the White Sox
thought they had a shot at the
pennant. They needed a CEN
terfielder, and they got Jim
Rivera from the Browns. I was
in the minors at that time, but
I went in that deal.
when / got with the Browns
Clint Courtney was sizzling and
I wasn't about to run him out
of a Job behind the pate. So
they sent me to centerfield,
and I've been shifting around
ever since.
Tigers Never Decided
when I was traded by the
Browns to Detroit, I was drafted
before I ever reported to the
Tigers. Charley Gehringer was
general manager of the Tigers
then, and I wrote and asked
him where I should play while
in the service. He answered
that he wanted me to catch.
"Well, it wasn't long before
II got another letter from
Gehringer. Seemed Frank
House was doing all right be-
hind the plate, but Walt Dropo
was in slump at first base. so
maybe I'd better play first. A
little later Dropo perked up, but
Jim Delsing was having trouble
hitting, so here comes another
letter. this time instructing me
to play center.
II got II letters in two years
telling me to change positions"
Porter doesn't feel he's had

A. Question: l understand that
if l retire at age 65, l am allowed
$1,000 a year earnings and still
receive a monthly benefit check
for each month of the year. How
can / support my wife and family
with this amount?
Answer: You and each benefic-
larry are allowed to earn $1,000
year without loss of any monthly
benefit payments. Social security
does not provide full retirement
plan but is intended to partially
replace loss or reduction in earn
ings. 1t is still youpr response
bility to provide for your family's
future; that is, you must not rely
on the social security retirement
plan to completely replace your
earnings. However, income from
savings, investments, pensions, and
insurance does ont affect your old
age or survivors insurance bene-
fits and should not be counted in
with your earnings which affect
social security benefit payments.
5. Question: l have heard the
social security tax is going up in
1859. l have job covered under
social security which pays me 49,
600 each year. l also am sef-em-
ployed on a part-time basis and
make about $4,000 a year. What
will my new tax rate be
Answer: In 1850 the social Sc
curity tax on wages will be in
creased to 3% for the employee.
The tax on your wages will be
$50. Your employer will, of course,
match this contribution. Since
only the first $4,000 of your earn
ings is taxable under social Sc
curity, you will pay self-employ-
ment tax only on the difference
between your total wages and the
$4,000 (IE $1,80O). The self-em-
ployment tax in 1860 will be Az
percent. The tax on $1,000 self
employment income would be
$81.CO. Social security taxes are
scheduled for further increases in
1860, 1868, 1866, and 1869. ..-
