Social Security
information free
By FRANK CORRICK
Copley News Service
Q. Recently I cut an order
form out of your paper offer
ing ways to help people get
more out of Social Security
benefits. I delayed sending
the coupon and the $3 for the
booklet and now I lost the
coupon. Could you give me the
address I can write to for the
booklet? — Mr. R.J.L.
A. Several ads like the one
you mention have appeared in
leading magazines and Sun
day supplements recently.
Social Security officials are
concerned because the ads
create the impression that the
individual must buy from out
side sources that information
which is provided free at any
Social Security office.
The Social Security Admin
istration has contacted the
Federal Trade Commission
regarding the misleading
statements contained in the
ads. For information on Social
Security benefits your best
bet is to call or visit your
nearest Social Security office.
Q. I understand that when
this new Supplemental Se
curity Income program goes
into effect in January, 1974,
the whole system of public as
sistance payments will
change. Just how will that
work? — S. S. R.
A. The new Supplemental
Security Income program af
fects public asistance pay
ments to needy aged (65 and
over), blind, and disabled
people. All other public assis
tance programs will be ad
ministered as they are now.
As far as aged, blind and
disabled people are con
cerned, their payments will
come from the federal gov
ernment in the form of gold
colored checks. The amount
received will vary depending
on the state where the indi
vidual lives, but it will not be
less than the amount received
prior to January, 1974.
Q. When a person dies, re
gardless of his age, his estate
must be settled, and the set
tlement, without a will, in
volves many details. How can
he be given maximum protec
tion? - D.G.S.
A. If there is no will, how
ever, an administrator is ap
pointed by the court to per-
How can U.S. ship oil abroad?
By JAMES CARY
Chief, Washington Bureau
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - The
United States has been ex
porting 40,521 barrels of oil
daily to foreign nations this
year while running so short of
fuel at home that gasoline,
fuel oil and other forms of ra
tioning are expected.
That comes to more than a
whopping 8.5 million barrels

form this task, and the state
law prescribes the order of
priority that the various fam
ily members have in being ap
pointed to this task.
Therefore, it is safe to say,
that the informed property
owner recognizes that there is
no substitute for a will pre
pared by an experienced at
torney and that the fee the at
torney charges is a small sum
to pay for the protection that
such a will provides.
Q. I am a retired teacher.
May I make more than $175
per month and still collect my
Social Security? I work as a
substitute teacher about nine
months out of the year. —
Mrs. E. G. S.
A. The first thing you have
to consider is your total earn
ings for the year. If it is $2,100
or less it makes no difference
how much you earn in any
month. If your yearly total is
more than $2,100 you could
lose benefits for any month
you earn more than $175.
You are obligated to notify
your nearest Social Security
office if you expect your an
nual earnings to be more than
$2,100 in 1973. Starting in 1974
you will be allowed to earn
$2,400 per year and still col
lect all your Social Security
checks.
Q. A friend of mine applied
for a life insurance policy and
was unable to get it. How
could that happen? — T. L.
A. He may have had some
serious medical impairment
or symptom which put him in
a group of persons considered
poor risks for life insurance.
This does not necessarily
mean that he won’t live to a
healthy old age, but the
group’s chances of doing so
are less than those of normal
ly healthy persons. Another
possibility is that he might
have been in some dangerous
type of work — test piloting, to
take an extreme example.
Today, however, almost
everyone who applies is able
to secure life insurance. Last
year, 97 out of every 100 appli
cations for ordinary life insur
ance were accepted.

of oil and oil products sent
abroad January through July,
but strangely, in the complex
world of foreign trade, the to
tal is considered insignificant.
The U.S. Treasury Depart
ment says the 8.5 million bar
rels is only nine-tenths of 1 per
cent of U.S. imports of oil and
about one-fourth of 1 per cent
of the over-all U.S. usage of
17.3 million barrels of oil and
oil products daily.
Nevertheless in the present
onrushing fuel crisis no
amount is totally insignificant
and Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis.,
has charged:
‘‘The lure of big profits is
persuading major oil compa
nies to export desperately
needed fuel oil despite the
shortage.’’
This and similar allegations
have caused the administra
tion to provide highly detailed
information on where the U.S.
oil and oil products are being
sold and to tell why the gov
ernment believes a cut-off of
the trade would not relieve
shortages at home.
In fact there is a distinct
fear that any hasty action in
that direction might do just
the opposite — make the do
mestic crisis even worse.
Some of the exports, for ex
ample, are in the form of
home heating oil sold to small
isolated communities near the
U.S. border in Canada and
Mexico.
The United States imports
1,336,900 barrels of crude oil
and oil products daily from
Canada and 17,600 barrels

LONDON — Wrapped up in warm fur coat Elizabeth Taylor is pushed in a wheelchair by
her husband Richard Burton, on their arrival at airport, from Los Angeles where they were
reunited following six month seperation. The couple flew almost immediately to Naples
where Miss Taylor will recuperate from an operation to remove an ovarian cyst carried out
in Los Angeles. (UPI)
( We f re together again
-and that must be good’
LONDON (UPI) - Elizabeth
Taylor smiled at her husband
Richard Burton today when
they arrived on a flight from
Los Angeles after a hospital
bedside reconciliation and said:
“We’re together again—and
that must be good.”
The 41-year-old actress,
swathed in a bulky mink coat
against the cold, looked tired
after the 10-hour flight but she
was obviously happy. Around
her neck she wore the heart
shaped diamond Burton gave
her as a together-again present
Sunday.
During the flight from Los
Angeles, a nurse administered
pills at intervals prescribed by
Miss Taylor’s surgeon Dr.
from Mexico.
If the border communities
in both nations were cut off
from U.S. supplies those na
tions could retaliate by cut
ting their much larger oil ex
ports to the United States.
However, not all cases of
U.S. oil sales abroad are that
clear cut. The United States
has exported the following to
tals, in barrels, of various
types of petroleum products
to the following areas from
January through July this
year:
French Pacific islands —
143,238; Netherlands Antilles
— 1,031,642; Panama —
124,862; United Kingdom —
241,777; Bahamas - 346,220;
Italy - 296,679; West Ger
many — 11,828; Japan —
537,515; Canada - 2,619,987;
Mexico — 2,683,827, and mis
cellaneous--- 552,570.

“She will be all right again in
about a month,” Burton said.
Burton, asked what he had
done to re-establish himself in
his wife’s favor, snapped:
“Don’t be so stupid. I am not
going to tell you intimate
details of that nature. We are
flying now to Naples where we
will stay in a hotel and then go
to Venice and Rome where we
will spend Christmas with each
other.”
Asked how she was recupe
rating Miss Taylor said:
“Very well, thank you, but
I’m heading for the sun and I
intend to spend as much time
By product, these exports
break down into the follow
ing: 364,700 barrels of crude
oil, 9,869 barrels of top crude,
42,413 barrels of aviation gas
oline, 482,907 barrels of auto
mobile gasoline, 611,162 bar
rels of kerosene and jet fuel,
649,994 barrels of distillate
and 6,429,433 barrels of resid
ual oil which is often used as a
source of power in industry.
The U.S. trade in oil and oil
products with each of the re
cipient areas is of long stand
ing, but the total amount ex
ported has been declining.
In 1968 it was 80,037 barrels
daily, in 1969 was 62,800 bar
rels daily, 1970 was 75,642 bar
rels, 1971 was 51,217 barrels,
1972 was 36,742 and this year
40,521 barrels a day, a slight
upswing.
as possible resting.”
She was asked to display the
diamond gift Burton gave her.
“It’s lovely,” she said, “It’s
heart-shaped, but I’m not going
to strip off to show it to you.”
“How much did it cost?”
someone asked.
“No, No. Don’t tell them,”
said Miss Taylor.
For a couple on the brink of
divorce only two weeks ago the
Burtons might never have been
apart All the ok! demonstrative
affection seemed to be there.
“They had a long talk”, a
friend said, “then on Saturday
morning he dashed out to buy
her a diamond necklace.”
The couple separated July 3.
