At the headquarters of the
Social Security Administration
in Baltimore, a computer is be-
ing used to help trace hun
dreds Of thousands of olde r
Americans who are eligible to
receive their own paid-up So
cial Security pensions, hut who
have failed to apply for them.
You may know one or more
of these individuals or even
may be involved yourself. II
you have any doubts, check
your status at your local Social
Security office and urge others
to do the same.
The Social Security Admin
istration is trying to locate a
million individuals IS or over
to see If they're FORGETTING ben
efits to which they're entitled,
Based on a computer survey
of almost 100000, more than
one in five is doing Just this.
Cards Are Checked
Last fall, Social Security Of
ficials started their search by
checking all Social Security
card-holders 81 years of age OF
over. The cards Of these indi-
viduals were first run through
the mechanical brain" and
checked against claims filed.
Then the cards of individuals
who had not yet filed for old
age pensions were run through
the computeT again and this
time were matched against the
wage records to find out If the
card-holders were still en-
ployed.
Through this process, the
computer threw out the names
of 10000 persons 81 or over
who could not be accounted
for. and the search by the So
cial Security Administration
was on. The task has been ex.
ceedingly difficult, for while
the eomputer produces the
leads" the job Of finding the
individuals concerned is rough

cap Earnings Dip,
Revenues Increase

The Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Co. reported to-
day a decline in earnings from
$1.83 a share in 1861 to $1.78
a share in 1862 despite o 6.6
per cent increase In revenues.
In its annual report, the
company added that total reve-
nues reached sta million but
that expenses climbed to $52.8
million, an increase Of 90 per
cent over 1861.
The gain in expenses was at
tributed largely to q general
wage increase and the hiring Of
new employees to keep pace with
service needs.
Operating taxes amounted to
$13.7 million while an addi-
tional $5.6 million in Federal
excise taxes, billed directly to
customers, raised the total tax
bill to $l9.S million. These
taxes, the company said, ac-
counted for 20 cents Of every
dollar billed to customers.
A record sum Of more than
$27 million was spent on ex-
pansion and modernization Of
buildings, equipment and serv-
ices. Both the number Of tele-
phones in service and local and
long : distance calls originating
from Washington set new
records.
At years end, the company
said, there we're $4,000 tele-
phones in the District, an in
crease Of 10000. Local calls
increased SO per cent over 1861
to a total Of 697 million. Out
of-town calls rose So per cent
to a total of 1877 million.

Washington Gas Light Co. is
considering moving its $40 mil
lion project for underground
storage Of natural gas from
Prince Georges County, Nd, to
another State, probably vir-
ginia.
"The company now Is rapidly
reviewing an alternate plan for
storing gas underground in an
other State" Donald s. Bittin-
ger, president, told stockhold-
ers at the annual meeting yes
terday.
Signs pointed to Virginia as
an alternative site. The COM
pany has developed the Ra-
vensworth propane storage cav
ern in Fairfax County. Va. Ar
rangements for this IS million
project were made in less than
90 days. When it is completed,
later this year, the county will
derive substantial additional
taxes, a company spokesman
said today.
A bill empowering the COM
pany to acquire additional
underground rights for its
Brandywine storage project in
Prince Georges County passed
a second reading in the Mary
land House Of Delegates yes
terday. However, two amend
ments attached to 1t were de-
scribed by company officials
as raising insurmountable bar
riers to the continuation Of the
project.
Provides Special Tax
One would provide for a spe-
cial county tax of is per cent
on the commodity cost value
Of all gas stored in the project
at the end of each calendar
year. This special levy would
be in addition to all normal
taxes on the investment.
A second amendment would
make the company liable for
damages on a very broad scale.
Company officials said Wash
ington Gas would expect to
bear normal liabilities in con-
nection with the project, but
pointed out the amendment
provides that it would be liable
for damages without regard to
negligence within an area Of
10 miles of the stored gas or
place of injection on the basis
OF prima facie evidence.
Mr.. Bittinger told stockhold-
ers the added Is per cent tax |
could make 1t impossible to
continue the project. Another
company official said today
the extended liability amend
ment probably would be just
as much of a factor standing |
in the way of continuation.

tons. often in the form Of tax
concessions to encourage desir-
able developmen Prince
Georges County appears to be
moving in the opposite direc-
ton by proposing additional
burdensome taxation on the
Brandywine project" declared
Mr.. Bittinger.
s. Million Invested
To date, Washington Gas has
invested around So million in
the Brandywine project. This
includes the cost Of well sites
and a compressor site, but the
largest proportion represents
expenses of geological explora-
ton and engineering costs, it is
understood.

Personal income, the most comprehensive measure of ec- onomic activity on a geogra- phic basis, was at a record dol lar volume for Alaska in 1862. It totalled 656 million dollars, a 4 per cent increase over 1961's total of 628 million. The year 1862 saw all states reach ing record highs.
 Alaska's per capita income increased very little, moving from $2661 in 1861 to $2667 in 1862. The smal per capita in- crease despite the substantial rise in total personal income indicates a population growth approximately the same rate as that for personal income. Total personal income for the nation incerased 6 per cent and the per capita level rose 4 per cen from $2267 to $2366.

EGG PRODUCTION DROPS SLIGHTLY

Egg production in Alaska during July averaged 1779 eggs per hundred layers, compared to 1885 during July of last year, the USDA statistical re- porting service has announced. The average daily rate of lay per hundred layers at STA eggs was 3.4 eggs below July last year. Culling of flocks has been relatively light the past three months.
 The rate of lay on Aug. 1 at 5.8 eggs per hundred layers compared with 62.4 eggs on Aug. l, 1862.
 Very few bullets were added to the laying flock during July, and nearly two per cent of laying flock was culled out. Death losses were higher than usual. amounting to IA per cent of the laying flock as result of dogs breaking into one flock. This also affected production in that flock. Pro- duction of 534,000 eggs during July compares with 584,000 during July last year and 535,- 900 during June, 1863.
 Nationwide, egg production per hundred layers in July was 1845 eggs, compared to the July, 1862 rate of 184O.

 OF A AMMAN
Prayers of the Saints

Gods Word tells us that the prayers of the saints rise as incense before the face of God. In addition, Gods own Holy Spirit mercedes for us with "groanings that cannot be uttered" Who are these saints? Just ordinary sin ners, such as you and l who have accepted salvation thru the blood of Jesus Christ. There are two kinds of peo- pie in the world, saved and unsaved sinners. If you are believer, then you are a saint, because you are cloth ed with the righteousness of Christ. And we are told that the prayers of the righteous avail much.
