Social Security Costs
SPHERE ARE ON the social secu-
^ rity rolls to-day 35 million
Americans. They are those who are
drawing monthly pensions because
they have passed their 65th year
or who are paying a tax of one per
cent of their earnings that they
may draw a pension at their 65th
year.
The monthly amount each Is
drawing or will draw depends
to some extent on how long he
has paid the 1 per cent tax, on
the amount of his income, up to
a maximum of $3,005 a year,
and on whether he is married
or single. If married the wife
too receives a pension, regard-
less of whether or not she has
been a wage earner and has
paid the tax on her income. As
the wife of a tax paying hus-
band she receives half as much
each month as her husband.
Should the husband die she will
receive the amount the hus-
band has been receiving.
That 1 per cent of their earnings
represents half of the cost of social
security pensions. They have pa;d
that directly from their pay enve-
lopes. The other half of the cost is
assessed against the employers.
They pay it directly but pass it on
to their customers.
In industry and merchandis-
ing, all taxes, federal, state or
local, are considered a cost of
operation and included in
the price of the commodities.
These social security pay roll
taxes are treated as al? other
taxes. Manufacturers and mer-
chants must do that to con-
tinue in business.
Taxes average about 30 per cent
of their receipts. The consumers of
the nation pay the nation's taxes
indirectly. The 35 million who are
on social security rolls represent
with their families an exceptional-
ly large portion of all the consum-
ers of the nation. As such they are
paying directly half of the social
security cost and indirectly a large
portion of the other half.
A bill now before congress, if
passed, will increase the names on
social security from 35 million to
48 million. The same bill will in-
crease the direct tax on wages to
1% per cent and that paid directly
by the employer, and charged
against the cost of production and
so paid by the consumers, another
one and one half per cent. To the
beneficiaries of social security, it
means for these receiving checks
an increase in monthly payments of
approximately one third.
That 43 million, with families,
means better than three-fourths of
the consumers in the nation. Direct-
ly and indirectly they will pay prac-
tically all the cost of the social
security pensions they receive. It
is expected that bill will be passed
early in 1S50.
Of those on social security
the government asks no ques-
tions as to color, race, creed or
affiliation. It does not ask if
dues owing to a labor union or
taxes owing to the government
are paid. It dees not ask any
individual if he wishes to parti-
cipate in a pension plan. Under
the now-planned law if he is a
wage earner, large or small, he
will pay directly one and a half
per cent of his earnings, up to
the prescribed maximum, and
as a consumer he will pay in-
directly his share of the other
one and a half per cent of the
cost of social security pensions.
That is not 1‘something for noth-
ing” as organized labor is demand-
ing of industry. Labor leaders pro-
pose to levy a tax on industry for
the benefit of a minority, the funds
to be administered by the labor
leaders and to be paid to those
whom they designate as qualified.
The consumers—all of us— will in-
directly pay that tax.
Instead of decreasing, the number
of bureaucrats employed in the exec-
utive departments of the federal
government is gradually increasing
The 1,730,403 on the pay rolls of the
executive departments on July 1,
1949, is 130,165 more than were
there on July 1, 1948. That does not
include the so-called independent
agencies. These bureaucrats repre-
sent at least four times that num-
ber of votes, and it is the tax pay-
ers who provide their wages.
Colored margarine is sold In
a majority of the states, but
for it the customer pays the
federal government’s 10 cents a
pound tax in addition to the
price of the white -product.
That tax is passed on to the
buyer by the manufacturer.
The “fellow traveler” is an Amer
lean who has gone wrong mentally.
He is more dangerous than his
master, Stalin.
The “ins” want the jobs for
the votes they mean; the “outs”
for the jobs they can fill when
they get “in.”
There is a greater liklihood of
having something by working for
it than by seeking that “something
for nothing.”
-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS-
Befhlefsem Steel Signs With Union;
Confusion Shrouds Defense FoSioy;
Industry Profits Reflect Dp-Trend
RELIGION:
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
BIG STEEL:
The Break Comes
The break had come in the steel
strike.
The United Steelworkers had
signed an agreement with the
Bethlehem steel corporation end-
ing the strike for that company’s
80,000 workers and breaking the
otherwise solid front that had been
maintained by big steel in the
strike issue.
IT WAS A TRIUMPH for CIO’s
President Philip Murray who an-
nounced that the agreement called
for Bethlehem to pay the full cost
of minimum $100-a-month pensions
for all employees 65 or over with
25 years of service. A social insur-
ance plan also was included in the
agreement.
Bethlehem, the industry’s second
largest producer, was the first unit
of big steel to capitulate to union
demands for a company-financed
pension and welfare plan.
No one could say just how much
the pension program would cost the
steel company per hour for each
employee once it begins operating.
It was expected the pension plan
would start to function in January
and the social insurance program
would get underway at about the
same time.
Murray told newsmen that a
“very conservative” estimate of
the pension cost to the company
would be about 10 cents an hour, but
added actuarial studies would have
to be made before the cost could be
determined definitely.
THE CIO LEADER said the
Bethlehem action would set a pat-
tern for the steel industry, but de-
clined to say what companies he
was talking to privately.
“Big Steel,” speaking through
U.S. Steel corporation President
Benjamin F. Fairless said:
“We renew our earlier proposals
to sit down with the steelworkers
union in an endeavor to negotiate
a mutually satisfactory program
... of course we will study the
Bethlehem settlement.”
The question was: How long
would the remainder of “big steel”
hold out? The Bethlehem pact was
a forceful argument for the unions
for, they could argue, if Bethlehem
can do it, so can you.
STETTINIUS:
Was Hard Worker
With the death of Edward R.
Stettinius, another major figure of
the Roosevelt era pased from the
American scene. The former secre-
tary of state died of a heart attack
at the age of 49.
STETTINIUS’ contributions to his
government were many and val-
uable. A rich man’s son, he scorned
a life of leisure and, instead, de-
termined to make his own way,
which he did rather well. He was
chairman of the U.S. steel corpora-
tion at the age of 37. At 44, he was
U.S. secretary of state, the top
cabinet post. He was lend-lease ad-
ministrator, taking over that post
in 1941, a job in which he directed
the 60-billion-dollar flow of sup-
plies that played a major role in
defeat of the axis powers.
Youngest secretary of state since
the administration of George Wash-
ington, Stettinius held the post only
11 months. He resigned to become
the first U.S. delegate to the United
Nations general assembly. He was
one of Roosevelt’s advisers at the
Yalta conference with Winston
Churchill and Joseph Stalin.
ALBANIA.
New 'Strong Mjn'
The Communists were beginning
to ■ throw their weight around in
Albania. A new Communist “strong
man,” Lt. Gen. Mehmet Shehu,
Moscow-trained army chief of staff,
was reported gradually taking over
control from Premier Hoxha.
ACCORDING to reports reaching
western diplomats, Shehu appears
to be the actual ruler of the coun-
try. Hoxha, Albanian leader for
five years, was reported to have
been shoved into the background
although he retains the title of
premier.
The “strong man’” is only 36 and
he not only is the boss of the army,
but also chief of the secret police,
interior minister and vice-premier.
He is described as the most ruth-
less Communist in Albania. He
gained considerable fame in Alban-
ia during the war by leading the
first Albanian partisan division in
many deadly raids against Ger-
mans and Italians.
NICKEL CUT:
Howl of Protest
The Eatonton, Ga., city council
recently devaluated the nickel and
right away got a taste of the trouble
Britain is having with the pound
sterling.
The value of the nickel went
down when the council raised the
price of soft drinks by levying a
penny tax. The bottling business
immediately went to pot. Some
stores quit selling soda pop al-
together to escape the customer ire.
Slowing Down
Indicative of the general slow-
down In industry and field af-
fected by it as a result of the
coal strike is this photo of a
store of the Westland mine of
the Pittsburgh coal company.
Because sales dropped so much
with miners out of work, the
store cut its operating hours
from 9 each day to 4.
DEFENSE:
Some Confusion
It was difficult to reconcile Mr.
Truman’s constant emphasis on the
grave defense problem, that he said
confronts the nation, with hia slash-
ing of the air force budget which
limited the groups to 58, and the
more recent decision of the navy
to cut 31 warships from the active
fleet.
THESE ACTIONS served only to
intensify the average citizen’s con-
fusion and puzzlement as to what
actually is the status of the coun-
try’s defense needs.
The navy’s top admiral had been
ousted because he contended pres-
ent defense policies would destroy
navy value and effectiveness. Other
navy officials were facing probable
punishment for speaking out. Uni-
fication and harmony were urged
on all sides as a desperate need if
this nation is to protect itself in
the world of today.
Despite all that, the air force was
to be less • than its generals de-
clared it should be and the navy
was being deprived of much of its
strength. This left still hanging the
question of who was right in the
row over armed service unification
and the proper defense setup.
THE NAVY was taking 77 ships
out of active service—cutting the
operating fleet by 31 warships in
line with fund reductions. The fleet
by mid-1950 will be made up of 237
combat vessels, instead of the 268
it had on September 1. Most of the
cut was to be in the Atlantic force.
It was also reported that 54,891
men will be whittled from the navy
and marine corps by next July to
correspond with the reduction in
ships.
INDUSTRY:
Profits Climb
The first upward trend in U.S.
industry profits since the peak of
earnings was reached in the third
quarter of 1948 was reported in
New York.
Profits turned around and headed
upward in the third quarter of 1949,
the report said, and pointed out that
1948 was a banner year that sur-
passed even the fabulous 1929. Thus
it appeared that industry earnings
were at a record peak.
BUT THE PICTURE was not
quite as bright as it may have ap-
peared. Washington had a different
report. Commerce Secretary Saw-
yer reported that the coal and steel
strikes had increased the number
of jobless by 225,000 in the week
ending October. 8, as compared with
early September. It was quite pos-
sible that the strike effect had not
been felt strongly enough as yet to
influence the roseate report con-
cerning earnings in industry.
The future was uncertain. As
strikes continued, so would purchas-
ing power dwindle, and with that
fall-off would come an inevitable
decline in industry earnings.
HE EMPHASIZED that the fig-
ures released do not show the full
effects of the strikes because 1Jiey
were compiled while the walkouts
were in their early stages.
As for industry profit, a compila-
tion by the Associated Press
showed net profits of 314 companies
amounted to one billion, three mil-
ion, 644,061 dollars in the.third quar-
ter of this year—an increase of
4.3 per cent over earnings of 962
million, 102,819 dollars in the sec-
ond quarter of 1949.
Etefhlahem Appeal
Protestant churches during the
Christmas holiday season will seek
funds to provide clothing, education,
recreation and spiritual leadership
for refugees in the Near East.
Church World Service, Inc., over-
seas relief agency for 23 Protestant
\ and Orthodox denominations, said
j a special Bethlehem Appeal com-
! mittee would seek gifts to aid refu-
| gees stranded in Bethlehem and
i other Near East areas.
New Concept Urged
c
When man finds himself unable
to cope v/ith the myraid problems
that beset him, when there seems
to be no avenue toward solution
within himself, he is wont to turn
to the concept of Divine aid for the
help he needs.
AS THIS IS TRUE of most in-
dividuals, it is essentially true of
this nation, as evidenced by the
motto on its coins, the frequent
allusions to the Divinity in its con-
stitution and laws.
But, it seemed, a new concept, a
new dedication to religion was
needed. President Harry Truman
himself went on the air to empha-
size that need. His broadcast was
part of the program, “Religion in
American Life,” sponsored by the
Federal Council of Churches, the
Synagogue Council of America, and
18 other religious bodies.
The President urged every Amer-
ican to take an active part in the
religious life of his community and
give generous support to religious
institutions.
Turning to the perplexed world
situation of today, he declared that
every problem in the world could
be solved “if men would live by the
principles of the ancient prophets
and the Sermon on The Mount.”
BUT, he added, that religion is
like freedom—“we cannot take it
for granted.”
“Man to be free,” the President
said, “must work at it. And man—
to be truly religious—must work at
that, too. Unless men live by their
faith and practice their faith in
their daily lives, religion cannot be
a living force in the world today.”
BARKLEY:
He Made It
He said he had no way of know-
ing whether he’d “make the grade,”
but he made it. On Halloween eve,
Vice-President Alben W. Barkley’s
plans to marry his Missouri sweet-
heart, Mrs. Carleton Hadley, were
announced. With the wedding
would culminate a romance that
had the entire nation looking on
with eager and excited interest.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT is 71 and
a widower. Mrs. Hadley is 38 and
a widow. Mr. Barkley’s age, how-
ever, was no apparent obstacle to
his courtship, just as it hasn’t been
to his political and governmental
accomplishments. An ardent and
active suitor, he squired Mrs. Had-
ley to numerous social affairs, al-
most commuted to Missouri from
Washington as the courtship pro-
gressed.
Mrs. Estell Rucker, mother of
Mrs. Hadley, was all smiles when
she was told of the proposed nup-
tials. “I’ve been sitting on a volca-
no,” she said. “It"'suddenly blew
up. All this excitement!”
The Hadley-Barkley romance be-
gan last spring at Washington when
the two met at a party in her honor
by Clark Gifford, presidential ad-
viser.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN was duly
notified of the event and, it was
said, would be present at the wed-
ding.
GYPSIES:
Free as Ever
In Belfast, Ireland, there was
sounded a new and lighter note in
the dismal refrain of world con-
fusion.
Gypsies, with freedom of move-
ment since time immemorial, were
supported by the minister of home
affairs when efforts were made to
crack down on them and other
itinerants in northern Ireland.
THE MINISTER of home affairs
took the view that proposed legisla-
tion was “rather too drastic to
meet a situation which is more of
an annoyance to individuals than
a threat to community well-being.
One complaint, issued to bolster
the proposed legislation, was that
the gypsies tramped down crops.
Missing
Stuart Benson, 72, interna-
tionally known sculptor, was re-
ported missing when the Polish
liner “Sobieski,” on which he
was a passenger, docked in
New York. The ship’s master
said the ship was searched for
24 hours but no trace of Benson
was found.
ASIA:
How Much?
Top policy makers in the U. S.
government were beginning to talk
about a “little Marshall plan” for
Asia, hoping that congress will ap-
propriate approximately a billion
dollars 'to “start off” the program
designed to stop the spread of
communism in Asiatic countries
The news was in line with an-
nouncement of a meeting early next
year to set up a non-Communist
union of southeast Asian countries.
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 55; 56:6-8.
DEVOTIONAL READING: Romans
10:1-13.
God's Open House
Lesson for November 20, 1949
Dr. Foreman
CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT
YT IS A WARM chapter, this 55th
=»■ of Isaiah. Some false ideas about
God melt away fast when they are
brought close to it. Let us take a
look at some of these notions and
see how they wilt
in the light of God’s
word. Sometimes
these notions are
held sincerely,
sometimes they are
mere excuses to
keep from facing
God. One of these
mistaken notions is
the idea that God
has two lists; one
is a list of people
on whom he in-
tends to have mercy, and will save;
the other list being a private one,
of those on whom he intends to
have no mercy and will not save.
If your name is on the first list,
fine; but if it is on the second list,
you are in a hopeless fix; for if God
is not going to help you, who can?
This is a terribly wrong no-
tion. It confuses the true God
with some sort of sultan in the
sky who has a “social register”
of persons he will admit to his
palace. “Use this invitation as
your card of admittance.” No,
it is not at all like that.
If you really think that admission
to heaven is by cai'd only, then cut
out Isaiah 55 and present it at the
gate. Cut out any verse in the
Bible that says “Whosoever,”—
John 3:16 for example—and pre-
sent that. God keeps open house,
he does not employ butlers or
strong-arm men to keep out the
crowds, he wants all to come who
will. Do you want God? Then come.
Are you thirsty for the living
water? Then drink. It is as simple
as that.
• • •
No Waiting
rpHERE IS ANOTHER notion that
keeps people away from God. It
is a kind of shyness. It is the feel-
ing that maybe it isn’t any use
hunting for God. It is the feeling a
boy has when he is lost in the woods
and has about made up his mind
that there is no use in walking any
more, he will just sit down and
wait till somebody finds him.
It is the feeling that God
may be sensitive and doesn’t
want people coming bothering
him. It is the notion that if
God wants me, he will knock
me down and drag me where
he wants me to be. A man with
a notion like that, of course,
isn’t likely to meet with God.
He spends his life paying God no
attention whatever, not even think-
ing about him, perhaps. He, may
even go as far as he can from the
Father’s house, believing that God’s
long arm, like the long arm of the
F.B.I. or the Mounties, will reach
after him and get him in case God
ever wants him.
Now this is a ridiculous idea and
a bad one too. Isaiah would not
think it true for a minute. “Seek ye
the Lord,” he says. “Call on God
. . . return to the Lord.” “Incline
your ear and come!” This means
you—if you will. But if you won’t,
God will not force you. He forces
no man. He wants willing obed-
ience, loving service, not slavery.
God will have no chain on you but
the chain of love. God keeps an
open housje, not a prison farm.
* * *
No House Of Horrors
H NOTHER WRONG NOTION, for
which, alas, many a church
member is partly responsible, is
the notion that the nearer we get
to God, the gloomier we shall be.
All the talk about sacrifice and
suffering for others, such as we
were thinking of last week, all the
emphasis in the church on the
death of Christ, all the solemnity of
most church services, make people
think: “God may be all right for
solemn people, but not for me; I
like life with a smile.”
Now that is just another mis-
taken notion. The very persons
who know the deeper meanings
of sacrifice are just the persons
who don’t like to use that word
about themselves.
In fact, it could be said that in
general it is only Christians who
have a right to be gay. Jesus him-
self, on the same night in which
he was betrayed, spoke to his
friends about sharing his joy to the
full.
Isaiah 55 is certainly no invitation
to gloom. Joy, peace, the clapping
of hands are there. But how do we
know Isaiah was right? There is
only one way, and that is not to sit
arguing about it. You never know
what a party is like by staying at
home.
Do you really want to find out
what goes on there? Don’t be con-
tent to hear others say, “It‘s won-
derful!” God’s door stands open.
