KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECUHTY
P, E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad
ministration. is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro.
Una Employment Security Commission in Citisens Bank
Building.
Ladies! If you are now 62
years of age or older, or if you
will soon be reaching that age—
read further!
Do you realize what the 1956
change in the social security law
can mean to you? Women, poten
tially entitled to benefits (if they
are otherwise qualified) can start
to get monthly benefits before age
65.
Read further to see how you
■may be affected. If you are a
wage earner and entitled to a
benefit based upon your own so
cial security account, you may
claim your old-age insurance
benefit beginning with the
month you reach age 62 instead
of having to wait until you are 65.
However, if you choose to take
the payments before you reach
65, the amount of the monthly
benefit you receive will be per
manently reduced.
The wife of a man who is get
ting social security retirement
payments may also be entitled to
benefits at age 62. Like the wo
man wage earner mentioned
above, however, her monthly
benefits at the earlier age are
also permanently reduced.
It must be borne in mind that
if a woman wage earner or a wife
of an insured retired husband who
is getting benefits chooses to take
benefits in a reduced amount be
fore she reaches age 65 she will

Washington—The most signifi
cant aspect of President Eisen
hower’s message to Congress re
questing labor legislation lies in
what was omitted rather than in
what was proposed.
Members of Congress who have 1
been advocating legislation des-j
perately needed to protect andj
promote the nation’s future were
disappointed that the message
contained no recommendations to:
1. Apply the antitrust laws to J
unions, as they already do to in
dustry, in an effort to curb the
evils of labor monopoly power, j
Surprisingly, the message also 1
made no reference to the recoin-,
mendations to curb union activi-!
ties drawn up, after a long inves-|
tigation, by Mr. Eisenhower’s own
Attorney General's National Com-1
mittee to Study the Antitrust
Laws. And the President’s Janu-'
ary, 1955 Economic Report des-J
cribed the curbing of “monopo-j
listic tendencies, whether of busi-,
ness or labor” as a “basic propo-j
sition” underlying economic ac
tions of the Administration.
2. Provide freedom of speech'
to employers equally with unions-!
This was urged by the
in his message to Congress on!
January 11, 1954, requesting labor j
legislation. Why it was omitted.
this time was not explained. The|
right of speech is fundamental.
3. Assure a secret strike ballot
before a worker has to give up his
means of livelihood. This also
was requested by Mr. Eisenhower
in his 1954 message—and the
omission now is unexplained. An
employee definitely should have
the opportunity to express his free
choice by se9ret ballot on such a
vital question.
4. Regulate the political activi-

continue to get a reduced amount
even after she readies age 65.
The choice as to when to file is
hers—each woman in these cate
gories should consider fully how
sha will be affected. The longer
she waits before age 65, the high
er her monthly benefit will be.
She must weigh in her mind
whether she prefers to start get
ting benefits for possibly 36
months before she would have
otherwise start getting them, or
wait until she can get higher
benefits.
The reduction, which applies in
the case of an insured working
woman or the wife of an insured
husband who is getting old-age
oayments is a percentage which
is based on the number of months
she is under the age of 65.
A widow of an insured worker
or a dependent mother of a de
ceased insured worker may get
unreduced widow’s or parent’s
benefits at age 62.
So ladies consider all the
facts and your own individual cir
cumstances and decide whether
you want lower benefits at an
earlier age, or more by filing at
a later date.
In any event your local social
security office can give you com
plete information regarding your
specific case. Booklets covering
the entire benefit story are avail
able for the asking.
i ties of unions. It would seem that
the instinct of self-preservation, if
nothing more, would compel a
recommendation along this line—
for most of the union funds used
for political activity go to support
candidates opposed to the Ad
ministration. It is generally rec
ognized that some union leaders
are seeking to attain political
domination of the nation. Cor
porations are not permitted to
i make political contributions—so (
| why should unions?
i 5. End the evils of compulsory
unionism. The Taft-Hartley Act
| —and all but 18 of the states —
! still permit the union shop, under
which an employee must join and
pay money to a union in order to
I get or keep a job. Employees
; must be given the right to decide
for themselves whether or not to
join a union.
In addition, Congressmen seek
ing remedial labor legislation
were of the opinion that the prob
lem of federal preemption of
states’ rights would not be solv
ed merely by giving the states
jurisdiction over issues which the
National Labor Relations Board
did not wish to handle.
The problem is much more ba
sic than that. It grows out of
j Supreme Court decisions in recent
years holding that state laws are
invalid if there is a federal law
I applyifhg to the issue.
This means, in effect, that
1 states’ rights, human rights, and
business concerns can be destroy
ed by acts of others clearly un
! lawful under state law.
This results because the ag
j grieved parties cannot go to their
local tribunals for protection or
relief as long as there is any pos
sibility that a federal law might
be applicable.
The vast extent to which this
doctrine has been carried is shown
by the fact that Pennsylvania
(and therefore all other states)
was prevented from enforcing a
state law against communistic ac
tivities merely because there was

Because of these omissions, the
labor message to Congress is re
garded by many on Capitol Hill
as entirely inadequate to meet the
glaring evils of unionism revealed
in testimony before the McClel
lan Committee and elsewhere.
Some of the Congressmen, in
fact, are of the opinion that some
of Mr. Eisenhower’s advisors, in
cluding Secretary of Labor Mitch
ell, succeeded in converting the
document into a political attempt
to placate the unions.
They point but, in support of
their contention, that the mes
sage to Congress is essentially the
same as the address Secretary
Mitchell delivered to the AFL
CIO convention at Atlantic City
on December 5.
They wondered on December 5
—and are still wondering—why
the Administration’s labor recom
mendations should be presented
first to the AFL-CIO instead of
to Congress.
