Social
Security
Quiz

the social security system. If you
are younger worker, the chances
are you have been contributing to
the plan all your working lifetime.
Over the years, more and more
workers and self-employed people
have become eligible to benefit by
this Government insurance pro-
gram with the result that it is
now an important asset to the
financial security of almost every
American.
ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU,
YOUR FAMILY, OR YOUR EN-
PLOYEES, IF YOU ARE AN EN-
PLOYER, WILL RECEIVE
EVERYTHING TO WHICH YOU
OR THEY ARE ENTITLED AT
RETIREMENT OR IF DEATH OR
DISABILITY STRIKES2 Here are
some ways to be sure:
IF YOU ARE WAGE GARNER,
check your va form to see that
it shows your correct social se-
curity number and the right amount
of social security taxes withheld.
For 1861 this was 3s6 of your
earnings up to $500. 90. If you
find discrepancy. notify your
employer or your nearest social
security office.
IF YOU ARE ELF-E M
PLOYED, report your 1861 earn
ings on the Schedule C-1 of your
tax return. The income tax re-
turn for 1861 has been revised.
If you do not fill out this new
form properly. you may lose So
cial security credits even though
you pay the tax. Make sure your
returns are complete, correct and
filed on time.
For several years now, some
farmers have had the advantage
of reporting their farm rental
income for social security credit
because they personally ''ma-
terially participated'' in the oper-
alton of the farm. This provision
has now been expanded to include
the owner who has an agent per-
form the necessary services for
material participation. This new
ruling is explained in the Decem-
Der 1861, edition of the Booklet,
OASI-33d. You can get a copy by
phoning or writing TO your social
security office.

Corallo has been indicted on
charges Of trying to fix a Fed

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT ... . ...
" House Hearing to Check Threat
/ To Merit System in AID Firings

Mr.. Campbell said the worst
aspect Of the situation is that
many of the employees are find
ing it extremely difficult to
find other Federal employment.
There have been employees
dismissed who had good rec
ords and whose service with
the Federal Government had
been as long as q years." Mr..
Campbell noted. "They could
not learn why they had been
dismissed. But more than that,
their records Of honorable serv-
ice had been wantonly de-
stroyed. Their unexplained dis
missal places a stigma on them
which would likely hamper
their further opportunities for
employment in the Federal
service. A great many of these
employees are in their late 4Os
or sos. 1t is not easy for them
to obtain Immediately employ
ment. Some may not be en-
ployed for a long while, if
ever"
Fowler Hamilton, AID adj
ministrator, said the agency
did "the best and fairest Job
that we could" in determining
which employees were not nee
essary in the new setup.
Representative Gross and
other ON m ittee members
brought out in questioning that
new employees have been hired
since the firing of the 345 en-
ployes.
Questioning by Bun Bray,
the subcommittee staff direc-
tor, brought out the fact that
the layoffs were offset by the
new hirings.
Mr.. Bray also brought out
that very few of those fired
were in policy jobs, and that
it was the intent of Congress
in giving broad dismissal
powers to the agency to weed
out those responsible for past
mistakes and blunders in the
foreign aid program.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-08

could easily be circumvented if
the AID action sets a pattern.
SLIPPED BY-What hap
pened was this. When Con-
gress approved the Kennedy
administrations request to
abolish the International Co.
operation Administration and
establish the Agency for Inter-
n tional Development, it
adopted a provision hurriedly
sanctioned in House-Senate
conference stating that transfer
Of employees from the old to the
new agency should be accom-
plished without regard to ex-
listing laws.
It's doubtful that most mem
bers of Congress voting on final
passage knew this was in the
bill, because it wasn't in either
original versions passed by
House or Senate.
However, what the provision
did was to take away from the
employees the protection Of the
Lloyd-LaFollette and Veterans
Preference Acts.
This means that they were
fired without any formal writ
ten charges or appeal rights
to the Civil Service Commission.
In fact, the employees never
were told the reasons for their
firing. Review" boards in the
agency determined their fate,
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat Of Georgia, chairman OF
the House subcommittee, says
the entire episode is a most
disturbing one.

Bubble Trouble
BY the Associated Press

A Brooklyn bubble gum man.
ufacturer was accused today
Of Illegally monopolizing a
growing industry-the distri-
button Of picture cards por-
traying major league baseball
stars. e..
The Federal Trade Commits
sion charged that the manu-
facturer, Tops Chewing Gum,
Inc, had exclusive picture card
contracts with all but 7 Of the
421 major league players.
In New York. a spokesman
for Tops said it was the
manufacturers firm convic-
ton that the complaint lacks
any valid foundation"
Alleging a violation of the
ETC Act. the commission said
Tops has created a monopoly
contrary to the public policy
OF the United States and in Diet
riment of free and open COM
petition in the bubble gum and
picture card industries"
The complaint said that COL
lecting baseball picture cards is
an increasingly popular hobby
with young boys and that they
will only buy bubble gum which
is packaged with a baseball
card.
According to the ETC, Tops
has tied up big league stars by
signing them to contracts be-
fore they leave the minor
leagues: It said some 1900

committee vote of 81. with
Chairman Howard w. Smith,

Because Of a Democratic Re

be called up in the House until

Labor Bills Passed
It faces much stronger oppo-
sition than did bills passed late
yesterday by the House and
Senate to enable the Secretary
Of Labor to investigate employee
pension and welfare plans and
otherwise compel compliance
with 1858 law requiring dis
closure Of such funds.
With comparative ease, the
House and Senate late yester-
day passed separate bills de-
signed to put teeth into the 1858
law requiring administrators of
private employee welfare and
pension plans to file reports
and other specified informa-
ton with the Labor Depart
ment.
Both measures will give the
Secretary Of Labor authority to
investigate and force compli-
ance with the disclosure re-
quirement relating to the han
ding of an estimated $50
billion in some 100000 welfare
and pension plans affecting
more than 80 million workers.

The firing of 345 career en-
ployes of the Agency for Inter-
national Development without
regard to civil service or vet
eran preference laws could es-
tablish a precedent that might
wreck the civil service merit
system.
This is the view Of most
members Of the House Civil
Service Manpower Subcommit-
tee, who also are sharply
critical of the Civil Service
Commissions role in the af-
fair.
The commission refused to
give these employees job priority
rights for other Federal jobs
that it gives to other separated
Government workers in main
tanning displaced career en-
ploye job registers. The reason
given by the csc was that
these AID employees were not
considered to have been in
volved in a regular reduction
in-force and only R1F'ed en-
ployes were eligible for the dis
placed career job priority reg
lister.
This line of reasoning has
not impressed House subcom-
mittee members. They plan tc
question csc officials closely
on the matter at a future
hearing.
At a hearing yesterday or
the dismissals, Representative
Gross. Republican Of Iowa, sale
the AID action set a dangerous
precedent whereby any agency
or administration wanting tt

could do so under the guise Of

activity and setting up another

The complaint said that these
contracts give Tops picture
card rights for five major
league seasons and provide that
the player may never grant
these rights to the Brooklyn
firms competitors, even after
the contract expires.
In addition, the commission
charged, Tops has threatened
lawsuits and made secret pay
ments to agents employed by
players in order to block COM
petitors from using the names,
pictures and biographies of
baseball players on cards.

Birch Society
Is Denounced
ByPresident
BY GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star staff Writer

Star staff Writer
President Kennedy says the
John Birch Society is totally |
alien" to the Republican as well
as the Democratic Party. |
The President disavowed any
Democratic efforts to attach
what a reporter called "such
far-right radical groups" to the
Republican Party at a press
conference late yesterday.
In response to questions on |
other political and domestic
matters, the President:
/. With tongue in cheek, sug-
gested that Republican Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller Of New
York may be moving to the
right of Senator Goldwater Of
Arizona, the darling Of the
conservative wing Of the Re-
publican Party.
2. Said he thinks 1t is too
early in the political life Of
George w. Romney, automobile
manufacturer being mentioned
as a possible candidate for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nation in 1864, for him to COM
ment on some Of Mr.. Romney'S
statements.
8. Said his time schedule for
putting an American on the
moon by the end Of this decade
has not been changed by recent
setbacks in the space program.
4. Urged settlement Of new
steel labor contract negotia-
lions, "the earlier the better"
to avoid the danger Of stock
piling in fear of a strike that
might produce later unemploy-
ment. 3
Alien to Both Parties
A report told Mr.. Kennedy
that the Democratic organiza-
ton has been criticized as un-
fairly attacheing the John
Birch Society to the Republican
Party and asked If he felt that
such far-right radical groups
properly belong in the Repub-
lican Party"
The President noted that
former President Eisenhower
has been as vigorous in his
accommodation of the John
Birch Society as I have been,
and certainly it has no place in
the Republican Party Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower"
He added that he is sure that
responsible" R ep u blicans
agree it has no place in their
party, and asserted: 1T it
totally alien to both parties.
Says People Will Decide
He also was asked if he be-
lieves former Army Mai. Gen.
Edwin. A. Walker, running for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Texas, properly be-
longs in the Democratic Party.
Gen. Walker has said he is a
member Of the John Birch So
ciety.
Mr.. Kennedy said everybody
is free to run, and the people
will decide, in either party"
His jibe at Gov. Rockefeller
came in answering the New
York Governors charge Of "po-
litical fakery" in announcing
that he would name Robert C.
Weaver. Negro housing and
home finance agency director,
to head the proposed new Cab
met Department Of Urban AZ
fairs and Housing If Congress
approves its creation.
He said with a grin that he
had read in a newspaper COL
umn that nobody could get
to the right Of Barry Gold
water but now I am not so
sure"
Mr.. Kennedy also recalled
that in 1856 and 1857 Gov.
Rockefeller recommended to
President Eisenhower the estab-
lishment of such a new cabi-
net department as he has now
proposed to Congress. He
added that Gov. Rockefeller
must have, for one reason or
another, changed his point Of
view on it,"

the extreme danger of stepping
