Stutterer
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialiit
Stuttering is a serious dif
ficulty for about 1 per cent
of the population. However
all parents should be aware of
methods to prevent this prob
lem. Stuttering refers to a defect
in rhythm which could be
hesitation, repetition, or com
plete blockage.
There are many ideas con
cerning the causes of stutter
ing, but there appears to be
agreement on the treatment.
Learning to talk is a compli
cated process. It involves the
Social Security
Tax Rates Slated
To Change Jan. 1
New social security tax
rates go into effect Jan. 1,
according to Edward B. Jacob
son, district manager of the
Medford social security office.
This is one of the regular
tax increases, provided by
law, to cover payment of re
tirement, survivors, and dis
ability benefits, and all admin
istrative costs of the program.
For employed people, the
new 1963 rate will be V-M per
cent on the first $4,800 in
yearly earnings. The employ
er will contribute a like
amount. For the self-employed,
the new rate is 5.4 per
cent of the first $4,800 in year
ly net earnings. Wages and
self-employment earnings of
more than $4,800 a year are
not taxable for social security
purposes.
What Increase Means
In dollars and cents the so
cial security tax increase
means that an employed per
son earning $4,800 or more
a year will pay $174 in social
security tax instead of the
$150 he paid on the same
amount of earnings in 1962,
an increase of about 46 cents
per weekly pay period.
The tax lor self-employed
people with earnings of $4,800
or more a year will be S259.20
per year instead of $225.60
paid in 1962, or an increase of
about S2.80 per month for the
12 months of each year.
Jacobson noted that the new
social security tax rate ap
plies only to wages paid and
self-employment income earn
ed after Dec. 31.
The present rate o 3' r per
cent on wages is applicable for
wages paid in 1962 even
though they are not reported
by employers until early 1963.
The current rate of 4.5 per
cent for the self-employed is
likewise applicable to self-employment
income earned in
1962 but not reported until
1963.

organization of many physical
and mental skills. In early
stages of talking, a reasonable
amount of stuttering is nor
mal. It is called non-fluency
and is probably due to a lack
of word knowledge and or
ganization. Closely Connected
A parent who draws atten
tion to these symptoms may be
starting to develop a stutterer.
Pressure, frustration and the
resulting tension are closely
connected with stuttering. Re
search has shown that stutter
ers are generally tense, self
conscious and sensitive. Their
home background is one
which tends to lead to this
condition.

Pilot Bails Out
Ot Crippled Jet
Edwards AFB, Calif.-tUPI)-Milton
O. Thompson, the only
civilian selected as pilot for
the X20 (Dynasoar) Project,
successfully parachuted
Thursday from a crippled
F104 jet over the Mojave Des
ert. Thompson, 36, was taken
to the base hospital for ex
amination, but had no injur
ies, according to the National
Aeronautics and Space ad
ministration. The aircraft crashed at the
edge of Rogers Dry Lake bed
after Thompson parachuted at
an altitude of 20,000 feet.

The cause of the crash was
not immediately determined.
