FORFEITING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
Hundreds of thousands of Americans across the United
Stales are today forfeiting the biggest bargain they'll prob
ably ever be offered their own paid-up Social Se
curity oenems, pensions to which they are entitled but for
which they have neglected to apply.
The Social Security Administration, with the aid of a
computer at its Baltimore headquarters, is now conducting
a nationwide search for these individuals. It's actually try
ing to track down 1,000,000 persons who are 65 or over who
have not applied for their pensions. Of course, not all will be
found to be eligible, but surveys to date indicate hundreds
of thousands are.
This is a startling statistic which warrants nationwide
publicity, for among this huge group are surely many who
desperately need their benefits. There also is no doubt that
benefits due to a worker who has retired recently or who
retires now far exceed the amount of money he has paid
in Social Security taxes.
While the Social Security tax has nearly doubled since
the program began in 1937 climbing from a planned maxi
mum employee contribution of $90 a year to the present
maximum tax of $174 a year in the same period the value
of every benefit has tripled.
The minimum monthly benefit for a worker retired at
65 has jumped from $10 to $40. The maximum has increased
from $85 to as much as $254 for the family of a retired, de
ceased or disabled worker.
To be more specific, consider a worker who paid the
maximum tax since the program began and retired in
January 19G3, This worker will have paid taxes of $1,584,
hit employer will have contributed an equal amount, bring
ing the total of Social Security taxes paid to $3,168.
Against this tax contribution, consider that this worker
and his 65-year-old wife assuming normal life expectancy
can anticipate collecting $32,339 in benefits.
What are the reasons so many Americans are passing
up the benefits? Social Security officials figure there are
five.
(1) Many who have continued to work beyond the age of
65 and to earn fair amounts think they are not eligible to
collect any benefits. This is not true. Under new, liberalized
rules, they well may be able to draw at least part of the
benefits which they would get if they quit. As an Illustra
tion, a man retired at 65 might receive $100 a month; if
he continued to work instead, he could earn up to $2,600 a
year and still get part of that $100. A man and wife at 65
can earn up to $3,260 a year and still get some benefits.
(2) Many who have been turned down for benefits in
the past because they didn't have enough work credits to
qualify aren't aware that because of recent reductions in the
amount of coverage needed to qualify, they may now be
eligible. Under the new rules, a man born in 1892 or before
needs only six quarters of coverage to be insured. For every
year after 1892, he needs only one additional quarter. (If he
was born in 1893, he would need seven quarters; in 1894,
eight quarters, etc.) A woman born in 1895 or before also
needs only six quarters of coverage to be insured and only
one additional quarter for each year after 1895. The quarters
can be earned at any time between Jan. 1, 1937, and now.
(3) Many believe a person must be in need lo get bene
fits. This is not true. You can be wealthy and still collect,
for only earned income counts. Investment income, an
nuities, private pensions, dividends, interest, holdings of
real estate none of this counts.
(4) Many who deducted a few years from their age when
they originally took out their Social Security cards are now
afraid they will be prosecuted or penalized if they confess
their true age in order to collect their benefits. This fear is
baseless. There is no penalty for giving a false age. If these
individuals can present "reasonable evidence" of their true
age a birth certificate, voting or school record, insurance
policy they can collect.
(5) Many disabled workers of any age and survivors of
workers who died before reaching 65 are unaware that they
may be entitled to life-time benefits. These could amount
to more than $50,000.
Next: How the search is being carried on.

Abandoned Chinese!
Gaming Den Found

MEMBER BY INVITATION
tfnJnkriudiaiiddffiIialicnT)cU!nJbdk
women
ask "Why
have I hair
where it
should not
grow?" Often,
an able physi
cian can say,
after a glance
at the wom
an, and after
Alvarez learning that
she has no symptoms that
v ould suggest sexual defect,
that even the most thorough
testing will fail to show any
thing wrong with her glands
of internal secretion.
The hairiness can be due
to any one of several abnor
malities: (1) I think usually the mod
erate amount of excess hairi
ness that can be found in
the cape of a basically healthy
and sexually normal woman
can be due to the fact that
she belongs to one of those
ethnic groups in which peo
pie tend often to be hairy
A woman may have excess
hair because her father is
very hairy, and many a wom
an tends to get hairy if she
gets stout. Among certain
women in Southern -ope,
a little hair on the upper lip
is accepted as "a sign of
beauty."
(2) In the cases of some
hairy women, there may be
some over-activity of cortex,
or outer part of the little
adrenal glands which lie just
above the kidneys. Some of
the rare diseases or little tu
mors of an adrenal gland can
produce what is called "viril
ism," or a change toward the
masculine.
(3) One of the rare little
tumors in an adrenal gland
produces what is called Cush-
Ing's syndrome. In this dis
ease, the shape of a girl's
body may change. Her face
will become round, coarse
looking and hairy; she will
get stout, and her abdomen
will become large, with deep
white streaks on it. I have
seen such a girl quickly
changed back to a pretty
child by an operation which
removed the little tumor that
was causing all the trouble.
(4) Occasionally, a woman
can become hairy because
of the development of any
one of four rare tumors of
the ovary, or because of the
coming of the Stcin-Leventhal
syndrome (a group of symp
toms). In this disease, the ova
ries are full of tiny cysts
(bags of fluid). Because these
ovaries rarely put out an
ovum (tiny egR), the woman
is usually sterile.
She can usually be cured
by the surgical removal of a
part of each ovary. It is
thought that in the ovaries,
female hormone Is developed
chemically out of male hor
mone; hence, if this process
is Incomplete, the woman may
be left with too much male
hormone in her blood.
(5) In a few middle-aged
women, hairiness is associated
with diabetes.
(6) Many a very hairy wom
an appears to be normally
scxed. One of the most beau
tiful young women I ever
saw was brought to me by
her mother because of mark
ed hairiness.
What is said about these
cases is that even an expert
on glandular diseases may be
unable to guess what has gone
wrong, or where - in which
gland - he should look for
the trouble - granting that
there is some disease present.
If the expert has access
to a very fine laboratory, he
may get measurements made
of the amounts of several sex
hormones (such as the 17
ketosteroids) in the blood, but
when he gets the reports, they
may show nothing, because
they are within normal limits.
I realize that all of this is
most discouraging to the poor
girl who has lo suffer mental
tortures because of her hairi
ness, and I am very sorry.
Unfortunately, we physicians
don't know enough about the
causes of many of such com
mon troubles as this.
If the girl has enough mon
ey, she might try getting rid
of the excess hair, and espe
cially that on : er face, by
consulting an expert in elec
trolysis - (one who uses an
electric needle to destroy the
hair follicles - the little tubes
in which the hairs develop).
If she hasn't much money, she
can use a razor or a "depila
tory paste" to remove the
hair. '
The stout person cannot be
happy about the situation,
says Dr. Alvarez in his book
let, "Weight Control." If you
have a problem with over
weight, you will want to or
