The Washington Report Attempt To Stabilize Social
By Con; (enmu
Walter B. Jones;
Os interest to practically
every family in the United
States, the Hi use attempted
to stabilize th i Social Securi
ty program la legislation
passed on We< nesday, March
9. As many of touknow, it has
been proven Jhat the Social
Security fund ires getting ac
tuarially ui tsound. This
threatens the future of about
116 million persons who work
in covered < piployment or
self-employnpsnt and who
have been paying into foe
Social Security fund for a
number of yeira. In addition
to this there are cur
rently around: 36 million peo
ple drawing gocial security
benefits. So, to protect this
large number of our citizens,
something had to be done: The
House passed legislation
which supposedly finned up
the financial, status of the
Social Security fund. The bill
provides, among other things,
postponing this year’s cost-of
living increase from July 1 to
January 1984. jit also provides
for a slight increase in the
social security tax rate which
had already been approved,
but for later years. For the
first time, it Would tax half the
social security benefits for
higher income recipients. And
perhaps the most controver
sial item was foe provision to
bring all new I ederal workers
into the syst m along with
Members <f Congress,
Judges, the President and
Vice President. This propos
ed action caused a great
amount of concern among
many of our postal and civil
service employees. But the
required social security par
ticipation will not apply to
anyone presently employed,
but only to those who come
aboard on or qjtout January 1,
1964. In other words, those
federal workers presently
employed should experience
no difference whatsoever
from, that which they have
every feasant; |p ejggpt.
Another •pontroversigi
feature of the bill was Increas
ing the maximum require
ment payments to age 67
rather than the present age of
65, but this increase in age
will not come into full effect
until the year 2010; it will be
a gradual phase-in.

* Two of the nicest things that have happened to savers

legislation predict it will in
crease revenues and cut coats
to a total of $165 billion over
the next seven years. This
should be enough to take care
of the system's short term
problems.
It was not pleasant to have
to make these changes in the
social security program, but
when we consider those now
receiving benefits and those
who will receive them in the
future totalling over 150
million people, it became
necessary to take remedial
action. In spite of the need for
the legislation, it was still a
very close vote of 228 to 202.
Nader To Be Featured Speaker
At E.C.U. March 21 - 23
Ralph Nader is scheduled to
report next week on the ef
fects of more than two
decades of increasing concern
about the safety and reliabili
ty of consumer products and
services and the direction the
consumerism crusade should
now take.
The nation’s best known
consumer advocate, Nader
will be the featured guest
speaker for East Carolina
University’s annual spring
Lecture - Seminar series
March 21-23. He will deliver
two major public lectures and
participate in seminars con
ducted by panels of universi
ty scholars.
Dr. John D. Ebbs, series
coordinator for the ECU divi
sion of Academic Affairs, said
all events on the program are
open to the general public.
The lectures and seminars
will be held in Hendrix
Theater at Mendenhall Stu
dent Center on the ECU
campus.
Nader’s first lecture is to be
given at 8 P.M. Monday,
March 21, with an update on
the consumerism movement
which his book of the
mid-19605, “Unsafe at Any
W-’Cdflfiafigfflfffi upsfc:“
Where Has It Been?”
The second lecture of the
series will be at 8 P.M.
Wednesday, March 23, on
“Consumerism Update:
Where Is It Going?” as the
concluding event of the
program.

At this time of the year
when many of us are strugg
ling with income tax returns
and many having to make ad
ditional payments to the In
ternal Revenue Service, I
think it is timely to report to
you that an article published
in Washington, D.C. disclosed
that the General Electric
Company in 1982 net increase
grew to $1.82 billion, but the
firm got a net tax refund of
$146 million. This is due to
loopholes in the tax laws
which many companies use to
avoid paying taxes, but I am
happy to teport that the Con
gress last year corrected this
ticipants selected from the
ECU faculty will conduct
panel discussions of the points
and issues raised in study of
the consumerism movement
and in Nader’s lectures.
Nader has continued to be
active in consumerism causes
and studies, including a re
cent study and report on the
uncertain future of the postal
service.

The Carolina Review—
NOW ANOTHER?? . . .
Though it seems unlikely, add
another name to North
Carolina’s 1984 gubernatorial
sweepstakes, Terry Sanford,
former governor and presi
dent of Duke University.
“Bench talk” around
Raleigh about a Sanford can
didacy had grown enough in
recent weeks that he almost
had to be included as a
possibility. Then, last week,
the twice-failed presidential
candidate announced that he
would be working for Sen.
Fritz Hollings’ presidential
campaign in a formal
capacity.
“That’s a good way to get
back out there (on the cam
paign trail) and warm up,”
said one old-time politico,
“and Terry knows how to
raise money, too.”
A former moderate to
liberal newspaper reporter,
comparing notes with a more
conservative cohort, found
common ground, that both
could admittedly support San
ford. “Well, if he can get both
of us to think about supporting
him...you know he could be
formidable,” he mused.
No doubt Sanford, who
served as North Carolina’s
governor from 1961 to 1965,
could be formidable. Like Bill
Friday, UNC president, San
ford would be an immediate
front-runner if he entered the
race.
Friday, though, has been
more adamant in his refusals
to consider the race. Some
say, however, that Friday
would jump if “certain
movers" could get enough
money pledged for such a
race. Someone else said Fri
day bad bean offered such
financing and had turned it
down.
“Lord, I wish he (Friday)
would,” said one senator a
couple of weeks ago. Offered
Sanford as an alternative,
"He’s better than anyone else

we’ve seen-if Bill Friday
won’t run,” he said.
As unlikely as a Friday or
Sanford candidacy sounds,
the reason their names are
mentioned apparently is that
the current field of candidates
continues to flounder. The list
now includes: Rufus Ed
misten, Lauch Faircloth,
Thomas Gilmore, Jimmy
Green. John Ingram, Eddie
Knox, Charlie Rose, and Lacy
Thornburg. And maybe Terry
Sanford.
Picture each one of those
candidates trying to raise one
million dollars or more while
Jesse Helms and Jim Hunt
slug it out for money in the
Senate race. Then pity any
other candidates trying to
raise money.
NOT RE ALLY...Though it
threw a scare into more than
a few. The governor’s DUI
package was never really in
danger last week.
When Sen. Robert Warren,
a Democrat from Benson, of
fered an amendment from the
Senate floor to raise the legal
purchasing age for beer and
wine to age 21, a shudder went
through the bill’s sponsors.
The amendment carried on
the first reading.
Then Senate power Ken
Royall revealed the enlighten
ing information that the
amendment would cause the
bill to be returned to the com
mittee process-and to pro
bably await revenue figures
in May before final action.
The sponsors didn’t want to
wait that long-and give op
ponents more time to chip
away at the laws. They con
vinced Warren to withdraw
the amendment, perhaps to
resubmit later as a single hill.
But according to a source
dost to the governor, there
never was any cause for
worry. “It would have passed
with age 19 or 21. Ken Royal)
just wanted 19,” the source
said.
