Signs Of

NEW YORK (AP). - douS-

Nationwide survey of housing

made by the Wall Street Jour-
nal. concluded the evidence
suggests a fast pace of home
construction during the COM
ing months in many areas.
Private, non-farm housing

900, about II per cent above
1861 and Is per cent higher
than 1860. In the first two
months of this year volume ex-

cent, the newspaper said.
The survey found home
building outpacing demand and
vacancies on the rise in many
areas. To right this trend some
landlords are offering special

home prices are being cut as
a final resort to make a sale,
Across the country an esti-

quarters available for rent were
vacant in the final quarter Of
1862, the Journal said. This
was a fraction higher than
three months earlier and COM

quarters; in 1894, eight quar-

1895 or before also needs only
six quarters of coveiage to be
insured and only one additional
quarter for each year after 1895.
The quarters can be earned at

Wealth Is No Test
8. Many believe a person
must be in need to get bene-
fits. This is not true. You can

4. Many who deducted q few
years from their age when they
originally took out their So
cial Security cards are now
afraid they will be prosecuted
or penalized If they confess
their true age in order to col
lect their benefits. This fear is
baseless. There is no penalty
for giving a false age. If these
individuals can present "rea-
sonable evidence" of their true

YOUR MONEYS WORTH

Thousands of Americans are
today FORGETTING a big bargain
their own paid-up Social Sc
curity benefits, pensions to
which they are entitled but for
which they have neglected to
apply.
The Social Security Admins
tration, at its Baltimore head
quarters, is conducting a Ma
tionwide search for these in
dividuals. It's actually trying
to track down million persons
who are IS or over who have
not applied for their pensions.
OF course, not all will be found
to be eligible, but surveys to
date indicate hundreds of thou
sands are.
This surprising statistic war
rants nationwide publicity. for
among this huge group are
surely many who desperately
need their benefits. There also
is no doubt that benefits due
to a worker who has retired
recently or who retires now far
exceed the amount of money
he has paid in Social Security
taxes.
While the Social Security tax
has nearly doubled since tn e
program began in 1887 -
climbing from a planned maxi
mum employe contribution of
$50 a year to the present maxi
mum tax Of STA a year = In
the same period the value Of
every benefit has tripled.
Benefit Has Jumped
The minimum monthly bene-
fit for a worker retired at IS
has jumped from $40 to $40.
The maximum has increased
from $85 to as much as 1854
for the family of a retired, de-
ceased or disabled worker.
Consider a worker who paid

1 the maximum tax since the
program began and retired in
January 1868, at SIS. This
worker VIII have paid taxes Of
1884, his employer will have
contributed an equal amount.
bringing the total of Social
Security taxes paid to $3.168.
Against this tax contribution,
consider that this worker and
his 65-year-old wife - assum-
ing normal life expectancy =
can anticipate collecting $32, 1889
in benefits.
Significant Question
What are the reasons so many
Americans are passing up the
benefits? Social Security off,
cials figure there are five.
/. Many who have contin-
ued to work beyond the age of
IS and to earn fair amounts
think they are not eligible to
collect any benefits. This is not
true. Under new, liberalized
rules, they well may be able to
draw at least part of the bene-
fits which they would get If
they quit. As an illustration, a
man retired at IS might re-
ceive 500 a month; If he con-
tinued to work instead, he
could earn up to $4,000 a year
and still get part Of that 500.
A man and wife at IS can
earn up to 1920 a year and
still get some benefits.
2. Many who have been turned
down for benefits in the past
because they didn't have
enough work credits to quality
aren't aware that because of
recent reductions in the amount
of coverage needed to quality,
they may now be eligible. Un-
der the new rules, a man born
in 1892 or before needs only
six quarters of coverage to be
