Personal Datd On Lo » On Federal Much more is known about the personal affairs of each and every resident of Lenoir County than they would imagine. In the official records of Fed eral, state and local bureaus and in the private files of other organizations is a mass of data covering the social and eco nomic lives of each local person. Where he was born, how much education'he baa had, his mari tal setup, his earning capacity, where he lived previously, whe ther he owns his home or rents, whether or not his wife works, if he owns a washing machine, his police record, if he has one, how much he pays in taxes — these and many other facts a bout him are all in the records. What brings this matter to the fore at this time is a plan, bow under consideration in Washing ton, for an electronic data cen ter that would bring together and put into computers. the wealth of information that is now spread among many govern mental agencies in Washington and elsewhere. One such agency is the So cial Security Administration. Its files contain information on the earning and employment rec ords of some 29,600 local people who are now holding down jobs, or are self-employed or are re tired. Another source is the FBI, which has the fingerprints of ap proximately 25,000 residents of Lenoir County on tap. Included are the fingerprints of government employees, of men and women who have serv ed in the armed forces, of peo ple who have been charged with felonies and of many others. Much information concerning local individuals baa also emerg ed from the surveys by the Census Bureau. The 545 peo ple in the area who have been di vorced and the 250 who are for eign-born are thus pin-pointed. This data would be fed into the computers, together with the mass of other facts about the local population. Opposition has beam voiced by 1 Congressmen and others, how- 1 ever. They fear the collection and improper use of dossiers on ! each citizen. Government spokesmen have assured them that the only pur- I pose of the data would be to : produce better national statistics | and that there would be no un- ] warranted disclosure of infor- ] mation about individuals.
