, Social Security Officials Visit Here

Two officials from the Social Se- curity Administration are visiting the Seward Peninsula this week. They are Don Sutcliffe, assistant regional representative from the Social Security West Coast head- quaters in San Francisco, and Ralph Seward, assistant manager of the Juneau District Office.
 The problem of failure by some self-employed people to take the necessary steps to get social se= curity protection is one of the big reasons for the visit
 Business and professional people who are self-employed get this social security protection by pay ing the social security tax each year along with their regular in- come tax.
 But according to Sutcliffe, diff ficult problem has arisen in the Seward Peninsula area in con- nection with more than 20 rein- deer herders scattered between Unalakleet and Noatak.
 These herders are not only self employed, but are classed as farmers, and as such have a choice of filing their tax returns in two different ways.
 A reindeer herder can get so- cial security credit if he has at least S400 of net earnings for his years work. He can also get credit if he had at least $500 gross earn ings.
 The last choice for getting social security credit is not open to any group but farmers including reindeer herders. Congress includ- ed this option in the law because it is recognized that frequently a farmer, after paying his expenses for the year may actually wind up with no net profit.
 Many of the reindeer herders have never had reportable income before and do not realize that ever though they may owe no income tax, they must file an income taa return and pay the social security

tax. This is the only way they can start building up social security protection for themselves and their family.
 Sutcliffe pointed out that tax return from a reindeer herder does not have to be a complicated af- fair. All that is needed is a basic list of expenses and sale income for the year. By adding up all the different amounts of money re- ceived for the sale of reindeer during the year, gross income figure. is established By adding up all the expenses in running the herd during the year, a total ex= pense figure is established The net profit is found by substract- ing total expenses from the gross profit.
 This need for sales and expenses requires a note to be made when ever transaction occurs, Sutcllffe said, emphasizing the need for keeping basic records was the big point in discussion with the herd CTS seen so far.
 Any herder with question about how to pay his social security should write to Lee Christensen, manager of the Social Security Of flee, Box 1881, Juneau, Alaska.

Shoot Man,
Let Him Lie

BERLIN, Aug. II (AP).-
East German police shot a ref
ugee today near Checkpoint
Charlie, the United States COM
mand post on the wall, and left
him lying for almost an hour
while West Berliners shouted
"murderers."
Two tear gas grenades were
hurled from the Communist
side at the angry crowd of 400
West Berliners. West Berlin
police replied with 10 gas
grenades of their own.
West Berlin police loaded
their tommy-guns and faced
the East Germans across the
wall.
1t was more than so minutes
before five East German police
men appeared with a stretcher
and took the groaning man
away.
Witnesses first reported the
man dead.
West Berlin police said he
was one of two refugees trying
to get through the barbed wire.
The other made 1t.
The wounded man was in
civilian clothes. West Berliners
could see his blood-stained
face, and a pool of blood on
the ground beside him.
West Berlin police said he
had been caught in crosS-fire
from at least three different
points just as he was scram-
bling through the barbed wire
that tops the wall.

friends and influence primitive

Chairman Hardy. Democrat of

Operations subcommittee criti-
cized as the products Of "the
never-never land" of the
Agency for International De-

The AID chief told the COM
mittee he had suspended,
pending further review" the
plan to send a boat with it's
sunlight power generator to
South America to show the ma
tives what electricity could do
for them.
Mr.. Hamilton said his legal
officials should have informed

Before speaking up, Mr.,

described as 1.-The loose han

research officers.
Mr.. Hardy focused the sub
committees attention on such
contracts as one for $40 900
with the National Science
Foundation to find out what
the United States knows about

The committee also objected
to the AID agency's handing
over of $125,0 to the United

research the popular reaction
in Latin America to the ALI

Mr.. Hardy commented that
this implied either incompe-

or that it was a "backdoor

Found Dead,
Believed Suicide

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. II
(AP).-Philip Kastel, approach
ing blindness and plagued by
cancer, was killed yesterday by
a bullet. apparently self-in-
flicted.
The pajama-clad body of the
one-time casino and slot-ma-
chine operator was found
slumped in a chair in his apart
ment. A .38-caliber pistol lay
beside him. He left a note to
his wife, who was asleep in the
suite, that he feared he was
going blind and he did not
want to be "a stone around
your neck"
Kastel, So, was in the lime
light in 1851 when he invoked
the Fifth Amendment Sc times
to refuse to answer questions
before the Kefauver Crime In
veStigation Committee. Charges
of contempt were eventually
dismissed.
Kastel had been associated
with Frank Costello, gambling
kingpin, and they were the
principal owners of the Bev-
erly Club, once a plush casino.
Frequently beset by income
tax troubles, Kastel usually
managed to settle for less than
the Government claim. Once
he paid the Government $175,-
600 to settle a claim of
S549 900.

bill. The investment credit
provision carried, but Senator
Byrd said he would carry his
fight against it to the Senate
Floor.
The provision would allow
business firms an investment
credit amounting to a deduc-
ton from their taxes of up to
7 per cent of their expenditures
for new machinery and equip
ment. Over a full year Of opera
ton the credit would mean an
estimated tax benefit of Sill
billion.
Among the reasons given by
Senator Byrd and his colleagues
for opposing the provision are:
1t would be a subsidy in the
nature of a windfall to be given
to business which comply with
a Government policy.
1T would be discriminatory
in its application among vari-
GUS businesses, even among
those similar in kind.
Its value and its need as

who typed his report should
be destroyed.
Asked why such a request
should have been made, Mr..
Bradshaw said Mr.. Miller told
him he did not want them
floating around in the State
office"
Did he tell you he was sent
there to whitewash the case?"
Mr.. ODonnell asked.
If so. I did not understand
it that way" Mr.. Bradshaw re-
piled.

He added that Mr.. Miller
told me he had to make a diff
ficult report" The report, it
was brought out, was favorable
to Estes and. if it had prevailed,
would have permitted the Pecos
operator to retain his cotton
allotments.
Mr.. Miller was reprimanded
by Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman for failing to reveal
to departmental investigators
and the FBI that he had pre-
pared the report and turned 1t
over to Mr.. Jacobs.
He first disclosed this to sub
committee investigators.
| Mr.. Jacobs, who resigned
from the Agriculture Depart
ment when the Estes case
broke. will be a key witness in
the Senate inquiry, perhaps
next week.
Mr.. Bradshaw testified that
the late Mr.. Marshall discussed
the problems of cotton allot-
ments with him during a return
trip from Denver, Colo, in the
spring of 1861.
Asked what he thought Mr..
Marshall meant by his state
ment that he was Quitting his
head against a stone WALL" Mr.
Bradshaw said he took that as
"a feeling of Illustration"
He also said that Mr.. Mar
shall complained about the lack
of sufficient instructions and
regulations covering the cotton
allotment problem and at a
later time said he was going to
request an investigation.
1T think it was a matter of
grave concern to him." Mr..
Bradshaw said.
Mr.. Marshall was found shot
to death on his Texas ranch on
June 8. 1861. His death was
officially ruled a suicide, but
Texas officials disclosed a few
weeks ago that they now believe
he was murdered.

Iraq 10 Atone
For Air Raids

ANKARA. Turkey, Aug. II
(AP.-Iraq has apologized for
two raids by Iraqi planes on
Turkish territory this week, the
Foreign Ministry announced
last night. 1t said Iraq prom
ised to punish those RESPONSE
bic and to pay damages.
A government announce
ment said Turkish Jets fired on
an attacking Iraqi plane yes
terday near Biskan, about Is
miles inside Turkish territory.
No casualties we're reported.
Conflicting earlier accounts
said the Iraqi plane. a Rus
sian-built MIG, had either
crash-landed or gotten away
after the clash.
Turkey had already protested
to Taq about the death of two
soldiers in an attack Wednes-
day, also near BiSkan.
Iraq said in its apology that
it considers Turkish Iraqi
friendship important and valu-
able and hopes these uninten-
tional incidents will not affect
the friendship between the two
countries"
Turkish officials specialized
earlier that the raids were in
retaliation for suspected aid
from Turkish Kurds to rebel
Kurdish forces fighting army
troops in northern Iraq.
The tribal warriors, seeking
to establish an independent
Kurdistan, were reported by a
Swiss newSman yesterday to
have won effective control of
northern Iraq. He said the
rebels had routed three govern
ment battalions and surrounded
two regiments in the noun
