HEAP O’ HIPPO—Big Gretl keeps a watchful eye on her ador-
able (?) baby. The Uttle darling is Mrs. Hippopotamus’ third
offspring, so it's no wonder officials of the Frankfurt, Germany,
zoo consider Gretl one of their prize possessions.

•hows an increase of almost 600.-
000 since the close of 1952. Self-
employed people and regularly em-
ployed farm and household work-
ers 65 or over are among those
who started getting payments in
1953. The kind of work in which
they were engaged did not count,
toward old-age and survivors in-
surance before 1951.
Other advance estimates releas-
ed to Mr. Avery by social security
headquarters: Nearly three and
ci.c-quarter million retired men
r.ndw omen workers, aged 65 and
over, are now receiving old-age
benefit payments. In addition,
monthly payments based on the
accounts of retired insured worK-
ers are now going to 885,000
wives and dependent husbands 65
er over, or wives, regardless of
age, with retired workers’ minor
children in their care. The num-
ber of such beneficiaries through-
out the nation increased 146,000
during the year jo«! ended. During
the same 12-month period, the
number of children under 18 get-
tng payments because an insured
parent over 65 had retired, in-
ci easel by 16,000 in 1953.
A far greater numbei of child
beneficiaries are getting payments
as survivors of a deceased insur-
ed parent, Mr. Avery declared.
The number of children who were
getting survivors insurance pay-
ments because they had lost a
working parent was 100,000
greater at the close of 1953, The
total of children now receiving
payments is now 1,055,000
throughout the nation. About 457-
of all children under 18 whose fa-
ther has died arc now getting
monthly survivors benefits.
Still quoting national figures,
Mr. Avery said that the number
of aged widows, widowers, and
aged dependent parents getting
monthly payments increased by
87,000 in 1953. The number of
such beneficiaries was 563,000 at

Forty per cent
of nation’s aged
receive benefits
Forty per cent of the nation’s
aged persons are now getting so-
cial security benefits, according to
information released by Z. E. Av-
ei y, manager of the Dallas So-
cial Security office.
At the end of 1953—the 17th
year of federal social security
eld-age and survivors insurance
payment of about $996,288 in
monthly benefit^ were going to
25,760 persons in the Dallas area,
Mr. Avery reported.
For the entire nation, including
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, estimates show
ar. increase of approximately one
million benefiearies with the year
ending December 31. The 5-mil-
Eonith person was awarded pay-
ments just over a year ago, early
in December 1952.
In September of 1950 the con-
gress enacted an amendment to
the law which greatly expanded
the scope of the program. At that
time only three million people
were getting benefits. The num-
ber has just about doubled in the
last 3-year period, he pointed out,
having reached 5,970,000 by
>ear’s end, according to prelimi-
nary estimates made in December.
Since the program was origin-
ally designed to give a measure
of protection to the nations' aged
people, Avery says it is significant
tr. note that about 407b of all aged
persons who are without income
from employment or self-employ-
ment are now getting old-age and
[survivors payments. The number

which is kept separate from all
other tax collections of the Treas-
uiy. The only expenditures which
can be made from this fund are
for paying social security benefits
and the cost of administration
under the program. Benefit pay-
ments for the 12-month period
ending December 31, 1953, totaled
3 billion dollars; administrative
expenses for the same period were
$90 million. The assets of the
fund which are not needed for
current disbursement are Invested
in interest-bearing U. 3. govern-
ment bonds. Interest on these
investments amounted to $400 mil-
lion in 1953. The total assets of
the-fund, as of December 3T
1953, were $18.8 billion.
At the end of December, the
average monthly payment to all
retired workers without depen-
dents was $49; to a retired worker
and aged wife, $84.75; and to
widowed mothers with two minor
children, $111.00. For persons
whose benefits were computed un-
der the more liberal provisions of
the 1950 amendments to the social
security law, based on earnings
after 1950, the averages were con-
siderably higher. Retired work-
ers average $62.75 monthly; re-
tired workers and aged wives av-
erage $103.60; widowed mothers
with two children average $152.50
monthly.
