es during the calendar quarter
is required by law to file a re.
turn showing the name and soc.
lal security account number OF
the worker, the amount of her
wages, and the social security
taxes due.
Some employers, Mr.. Boil
ton said, may not understand
their responsibilities under the
law. Also, some household en-
ployees may have asked their
employers not to file the returns
because they do not want to
have their share of the social
security tax taken out of their
pay. The law, however, holds
the employer responsible for
making the returns and paying
the taxes, he said.
If not detected first bv the
Internal Revenue Service thro-
ugh routine enforcement pro-
cedureS, employers who are
not filing reports may be cal
led for a reckoning in a number
OF different ways. This could
happen, Mr.. Bolton said, when
a former worker applies to her
social security office for re-
tirement or disability benefits,
or when a survivor of a worker
applies for social security bene-
hts after the workers death.
Also, a worker at anytime can
ask the Social Security Admin
lStration for a record of her soc
lal security credits and ask for
Holmes County herald., 1960-01-14

an investigation of any credits
missing from that record.
The social security tax on
wages paid in 1859 is S per

and a matching 2h percent to
De contributed by the employ
er. The combined tax goes I'D
to 6 percent beginning with the
first wages paid in 1860.
Household employers make
their social security tax re-
turns on a special simplified
form printed on the inside of a
self-mailer envelope. Any hou-
seville who employs domestic
help can get on the mailing list
to receive the form every three
months by writing to the Dist
riot Director of Internal Rev
enue. Or, Mr.. Bolton said, she
may ask the nearest social Sec
urity office for a copy of the
booklet, do You Have a Maid.
This little booklet of social
security information for house

Household Help Social Security
Returns To Be Filed By Feb. !

Housewives who hire house

file the quarterly social secur-
ity tax returns on wages paid
to their employees during the
last three months of 1859. an
nounced Luther H.. Bolton.
district manager of the Green
wood social security office to-
day. Ordinarily, these quarter
ly returns would be due on jan
uary 81, but that date falls on
a Sunday this year.
A return must be filed with
the District Director of Inter,
nal Revenue for any household
worker to whom an employer
has paid cash wages of $50 or
more during the three months
of October, November, and Dec
ember. Wages of as little as
$4 a week paid to a worker
each week during this 3-month
period will have amounted to
more than $50, Mr.. Bolton po-
inted out.
He indicated that many house

being reported for social sec
urity by their employers, al
through their cash wages from
each employer may amount to
well over $50 in a three-month

SHUTTLE SERVICE DELAYED
WHILE DRIVER HAS DINNER

resident of Brookmont, Md, once served by the
Cabin John sreecars, reported the following incident
after buses took over last week.
Last Monday. about 615 pm, she arrived at Mac
Arthur boulevard and Manning place NV. to transfer
to the shuttle bus. She approached the waiting shuttle
and was told by the driver as he shut the door:
Sorry. lady I'm going home for dinner"
The bus drove of toward Cabin John.
The Brookmont resident waited 10 minutes for an
other shuttle, which driven by who had
apparently had his dinner.
The same thing happened Tuesday night.
After that connections better. Still the resi-
dent added her return trip home from her job at the
Department of Health Education and Welfare was TAX

leans could not agree on how
large . signal would be pro-
duced by q given underground
nuclear shot.
The Russians insisted q four
kiloton shot would produce q
4.8 reading on the so-caIled
Richter scale while the United
States had proved to It's salts
faction it would take q l9-kilo-
ton blast to produce this size
signal.
On the Richter scale the
United States showed expert
mentally that a 19-kiloton shot
registers 4.8; a 4-kiloton shot
registers "A; a IT. kiloton shot
registers Al.
But there are an estimated
$4,000 natural earthquakes each
year which would register as
high as a 4 or 5-kiloton nu-
clear blast, so that the artificial
explosion would be lost unless
a control system could inspect
this vast number of under
ground disturbances indfvid-
ually.
Twenty-kiloton shots, on the
other hand, would produce
seismic signals that possibly
would stand out sufficiently to
make a control system practi-
cal at that level.

at least a tiny, first-step agree

teenth month.
President EiSenhower's sci
ence adviser, DR.. George Kistia-
kowsky. repeatedly frowns on
the old threshold idea but is
studying a variant believed to
have been suggested by British
scientists.
Instead Of setting a thresh-
old measured in kilotons, pro-
ponents of the variant would
ban all nuclear weapons tests
that produce a seismic signal
above an agreed magnitude.
This would sidestep one of
the principal disagreementS at
the recent Geneva experts con-
ference. Russians and Amer

suggest one or several varia-
tions Of the threshold plan,
breaking down the enforce
ment procedures into phases
during which the effectiveness
Of the inspection system would
be tested.
If all the alternatives fail,
United States officials are pre-
pared to fall back to President
Eisenhower's April 13 sugges-
ton to Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev for a first-phase agree
ment suspending only the
easily-monitored atmospheric
and underwater tests, leaving
a ban on high-altitude and
subterranean shots to await
advances in scientific monitor
ing techniques.
At one time, it was thought
Evening star., 1960-01-10

that all underground tests
larger than five kilotons "a
kiloton is an explosive force
equal to 1000 tons Of TNT)
could be banned under such q
threshold" plan. But new data
from a series of tests conducted
in Nevada about II months age
shows this cutoff would have
to be much higher. American
scientists now believe that the
threshold" where banned tests
would begin. would have to he
as high as 20 kilotons, the size
Of the Hiroshima bomb, or
perhaps even sc kilotons.
If the threshold were set as
high as 20 kilotons most of
Americas weapons-development
program could continue. The
United States is by now inter-
ested mainly in small nuclear
weapons-down to 100 tons of
INT equivalent and lower.
Presumably the Soviet Union
is in much the same situation
having stockpiled enough of
the big H-bombs and A-bomnS
to knock out all her possible
targets in an all-out war.
Advocates of the threshold
plan say it still would be better
to seek a ban on at least some
underground explosions than to
give up and accept an agree
ment which would ban none.
American diplomats doubt
the Soviet Union would accept
the threshold idea. So far the
Kremlin has insisted on a
comprehensive moratorium.

have asked, had the change to
buses saved? Where was the
! progress?
OfhcialS of the Public Utili-
ties Commission answer that
even with the coming all-bus
system, the saving will never
be enough to mean a reduced
fare.
( 1t is estimated, the transit
company might save as much
as 100000 on the .hree lines
now handled by buses for the
next II months. But imitation,
rising labor costs and the high
er prices the company must
pay for new equipment will
take care of any savings real
lied by the shift to buses.
The picture does have its
bright spots, however.
Both District and D. c,
Transit officials expect better,
faster service on at least two
of the lines converted last Sun
day.
BY January 10, the loading
platforms used by streetcars
should be removed. Motorists
will begin using the lane once
reserved for streetcars. It
should help both the buses as
well as the motorist. The lanes
of a street like Wisconsin, or
Georgia avenue, can be changed
to fit the traffic, an impossi-
bility while streetcars were still
running.

It's certainly time for this slap-ln

schools, which is so often evident to-
ward federal and state legislation, to
cease. These schools perform a public

sense that tax money is not ~allocated

Any fair-minded person can easily
distinguish between direct financial aid
to the school and programs which aid
students and teachers.

There has been a good deal of
screaming, chiefly by psuedo-liberals,
about the requirements of loyalty oath
for students accepting government
loans to help finance their college edu-
cation. Several college presidents have
expressed their pious indignation about
this provision.
There is, however, a real discrimi-
natory clause in the present National
Defense Student Loan Program which
has been almost completely overlooked.
The current program permits a so
per CEN cancellation OF the loan if the
borrower becomes a full-time teacher in
public elementary or secondary schools.
There is no such forgiveness clause
if the borrower becomes a teacher in
the ''non-public" schools.
1t should be quite clear, even to the
most prejudiced, that the purpose of
this forgiveness clause is TO encourage
more students to enter the teaching
profession, and thus relieve the short
age of teachers resulting from eyer-in-
creasing school enrollmentS.
1t is most unjust and discriminatory

the public school system. BY no
stretch of the imagination can this fl
nancial assistance TO be termed laid to

of the student loan which is made di-
rectly to the person who later becomes
a teacher.
For years non-public schools suffer
ed similar discrimination in regard to
the payment of the federal excise tax
on various items of equipment from
which the public schools were ex-
empted. Non-public schools, for ex-
ample, had to pay considerable feder-
al tax wen on typewriters which were
purchased for Institutional use in com
mercial classrooms. This injustice was
finally corrected n year ago when
