Social Security Benefits
Depend On Accurate
Keeping Of Records
Retirement and family insurance
benefits under the Social Security
Act are based on * wages received
and the time spent by each work-
er in covered employment, John
G. Hutton, manager of the Lub-
bock Social Security office, ex-
plained Wednesday.
"A record of each earner's wag-
es is kept from the reports which
employers send in with social se-
curity taxes four times a year.
Since-the benefits which a worker
or his dependents will get are bas-
ed on his wage record, it is im-
portant that each worker's wages
be correctly reported," Hutton
said. —
"Accuracy in recording the wages
is made possible through tne em-
ployer's use of the exact', name
and correct number of each work-
er as it appears on his social se-
curity .card.
Hutton .urged all employer's to
cooperate with their employees by
reporting wages properly. This ap-
plies to all workers, whether full
or part time. Employers are help-
ing to pay for the protection of
their workers when they get old
and for their families when they
die. Properly completed reports
assure getting value received for
social security tax payments.

'THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN under the Fatherhood of Gea is"
ouj- only guarantee of thepreservation of the blessings of Democracy,"
Governor Allan Shivers says in an official memorandum designating
February 19-26 as Brotherhood Week in Texas. Governor Shivers, fair
right, issued the memorandum at the request of Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish leaders. Shown with the Governor from left to right are
W. F. McNamara, Joe.C. Carrington and Dr. H. J. Ettlinger, Austin
leaders of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, sponsors
of the 17th annual national observance of Brotherhood Week. In issu-
ing the call to observe Brotherhood Week, Governor Shivers urged all
to rededicate themselves to that principle of our government that rec-
ognizes "the dignity and worth of every citizen" and guarantees these
rights through the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rjrhts.
Do You Want
To Cut Your
Federal Taxes?
YOUR WASTED TAXES
__ No_-Jeasonable man questions
the need for taxes to pay the cost
of governmental services. Every-
one should be willing to pay a fair
share of his income for that pur-
pose. But nobody wants to under-
write extravagance—in the home,
in business or in government.
The bi-partisan Commission on
Organization of the , Executive
Branch of the Government, creat-
ed by Congress with the approval
of President Truman and headed
by former President Hoover, has
provided a chart for the elimina-
tion of governmental, extravagance
and waste.
This past year, because of dup-
lication and overlapping in the
Armed Services we wasted about
one billion dollars out of the fif-
teen billion spent for National Se-
curity.
In 1948 two agencies planned to
build the same dam in nearly the
same place at Hell's Canyon, Ida-
ho. Each set of plans ^ost about
$250,000. The plans differed by
approximately 75 million dollars
in estimated cost of erection. 1
It now costs the Post Office De-
partment two and a half cents to
print and deliver---a—penny-—post
card.
The Veterans Administration, at
the time of the Commission's sur-
vey, had 6,500 empty beds in its
hospitals, yet VA and other gov-
ernment agencies have planned or
are building additional hospitals at
a cost of over a billion dollars,
when 54% of the available beds
are not now occupied. This is Alice
in Wonderland.
It takes more than $10 worth of
paper work to complete a govern-
mental purchase order. For exam-
ple, by the time the necessary pa-
per work is completed, a 50c type-
writer ribbon costs the taxpayer
about $10'. ,
Turnover of labor is recognized
by all industry as expensive. Yet
in the Federal Government labor
turnover runs about 25 percent, a
rate much higher than any private
business could stand. This means
that every year approximately
500,000 either leave or enter a
government job. The personnel
system is clogged with red tape.
The best men leave because of the
low pay scale, and the inefficient
cannot easily be discharged.
If enacted into law, the Com-
mission recommendation to reme-
dy these and other defects in con-
ducting our Federal business
would save the taxpayer three to
four billion dollars a year.
To play your:, part in putting a
stop to this wasteful extravagance
join the non-partisan Citizens
Committee, which is working for
th^: enactment of the Commission's
suggestions. Write-to th^' Citizens
Committee for Reorganization of
the Executive Branch of the Gov-
ernment, 1421 Chesnut Street,
Philadelphia1! 2, Pennsylvania.
Write your Congressman. Inform
yourself about the, Commission
Report. Tell your neighbors!
