RUSSELL ASKS COOPERATION,
NOT DOMINATION
Sor tor Richard B. Russell says teaerai assistance programs should be based on “cooperation”
with state and local governments and not on “coercion and domination from Washington.”
Georgia’s senior Senator, speaking at DeKalb County’s SIOO Million Dollar Day celebration,
emphasized his belief that insofar as possible “local needs should be provided by local govern
ment and local problems handled by local people.”
“But I am aware that the complexity and Immensity of many of the problems that beset our
urban-oriented society are simply beyond the means and resources of local government alone,”
he said. “Counties and municipalities must have assistance from both federal and state sources
to cope with the massive problems they face.”
Russell made it clear that the type of federal assistance he favors is that embodying the
“cooperation” approach. He cited federal programs to assist In airport and highway construction
and water pollution control as examples of this concept.
He pointed out that since 1947 Georgia has received $35 million In federal matching funds to
assist 80 communities throughout the state In building airports. Federal highway aid to Georgia,
he continued, has amounted to $750 million in the past decade alone.
“I consider these programs prudent investments in activities that are essential to the continued
economic progress of Georgia and to the strength and security of the nation,” Russell said.
Russell predicted that Georgia “stands at the beckoning doorway to the brightest and most
promising era of progress in her long and glorious history.”
He called for a redoubling of efforts to seek new and better economic opportunities for all
Georgians in all areas "so that all many share in full measure the bounty of this great land.”
REDS^WALK IN SPACE’ HOAX
Lloyd Malian, one of the nation’s top science writers, has reports that the Soviet ‘walk In
space’ was another big hoax. To prove his point, Malian consulted some of the foremost space
and photography experts, running for them the official Kremlin films of the Communist “achi
evement.” This story, which should have made page one of the big city press, was generally
suppressed.
Writing in Science and Mechanics, Malian reported out that the photos of Cosmonaut Leonov
crawling out of the space capsule were taken from out in space, with the camera pointed head on.
No one else was out in space, and the Soviets themselves reported that the only pictures of this
“feat” had been taken by a camera which Leonov himself attached to the outside of the capsule.
U.S. experts, examining the film, also found that it was a double exposure, with Leonov super-
Imposed on a background of the earth below. Black and white stills, under careful scrutiny,
revealed that Leonov was floating in a tank of water, to give the effect of weightlessness, and
that he was suspended by fine wires.
And Dean C. B. Neblette of the Rochester Institute of Technology put his finger on the cause
for this Soviet clumsiness. “They had to make this film before they had seen any other pictures
of a man walking out In space,” he said. “They had to do a lot of guessing.”
This is not the first time Lloyd Malian has caught Soviet scientists In an attempt of this kind.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for reasons of its own, has stubbornly re
fused to put Soviet claims to the acid test of scientific analysls--but the truth will out.

Mr. Corley is well-known in building circles. His I

more they agree on electric heating. Women, in I
particular, appreciate its exceptional cleanliness.” I
He continues. “Adequate insulation adds to I
the comfort and value of any home and keeps I

Among the company’s major
accomplishments during the
year was the completion of a
10-story addition to its 51 Ivy

a cost of approximately six
million dollars. New central of
fice buildings were constructed
at Conyers and Roswell, and
building additions were made to
central offices on East Lake
Drive in Decatur, on Hollywood
in Atlanta, and in Forest Park,
West End, and Hampton. Con

Employers who pay their pay
roll taxes before Jan. 31 will
save money, according to Com
missioner of Labor Ben. T.

The Georgia Employment Se
curity Law provides for a
flexible tax rate ranging from
twenty-five (25?) to four dol
lars and twenty cents ($4.20)
per hundred dollars of payroll
depending upon the employment
experience. The payment of the
Georgia tax by Jan. 31, re
gardless of the rate, credits the
employer with approximately
75 percent of his federal payroll
tax.
The "experience rating” pro
vision of the Georgia Law saves
Georgia tax payers over $26,
000,000 annually that would
otherwise be paid to the federal
government.

THE FOREST PARK NEWS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1966
YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
The social security contribution deducted from workers’ pay beginning in 1966 will be slightly
higher than the contribution rate that had been scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, E. L. Rawls,
social security district manager In Atlanta, announced.
The social security contribution rate for employes and employers had been scheduled to rise
from 3 5/8 percent, in effect 1963 through 1965, to 4 1/8 percent beginning January 1, 1966,
Rawls continued.
To help finance changes In the law, enacted last summer — Including a program of hospital
Insurance for people 65 and over, a 7 percent Increase in cash benefits, and other Important
Improvements in the social security program, the contribution rate has been raised to 4.2 percent
percent for 1966, Instead of the previously scheduled 4 1/8 percent. Os the 4.2 percent contribu
tion rate, 0.35 percent (35 cents out of each SIOO of taxable wages) goes to finance hospital in
surance benefits.
In addition, the amount of annual earnings subject to the tax contribution and creditable toward
social security benefits is raised from $4,800 to $6,600.
Rawls gave two examples of how the contribution rate change would affect workers. The worker
earning $77 a week, or $4,000 a year, has been paying about $2.80 a week as his social security
contribution. Beginning In January he will be paying 44 cents more per week — $2.97 for retire
ment, survivors, and disability Insurance benefits, and 27 cents toward the paid-up hospital In
surance he will have when he is 65 and retired.
Someone earning $127 a week, about $6,600 for the year, contributed $4.60 a week in social
security contributions up until about the end of September, when his earnings reached the $4,800
maximum subject to the tax contribution. In 1966, thlsworkerwlllpayss.33 aweek —54.89
toward cash social security benefits and 44 cents a week toward hospital Insurance protection
at 65. This amount will be deducted from Ids pay for all 52 weeks of the year.
Self-employed people will be subject to the same earnings maximum as employees, Rawls
noted. Their 1966 contribution rate will be 6.15 percent, including 5.8 percent for social security
and 0.35 percent for hospital Insurance.
With $6,600 of annual earnings counting toward social security benefits beginning in 1966, it will
be possible for workers retiring in future years to receive monthly benefits as high as $l6B a
month. The current maximum retirement benefits Is $135.90 per month, based on average an
nual earnings of $4,800 a year. Maximum family benefits will rise in future years from the
current $309.20 to a maximum of $368 monthly.
The law provides a series of gradual additional Increases in the contribution rates until in 1987,
when the employer and employee rates will be 5.65 percent, and the self-employed rate will be
7,8 percent.
Under medicare, when the worker Is 65, he and his wife will have paid-up hospital insurance to
help pay costs of hospital and related care, Mr. Rawls added. A separate medical insurance pro
gram is also available under the medicare law to people 65 and over who choose to take It for a
premium of $3 a month. The Government pays an equal amount.
In the years since enactment of the original Social Security Act, In 1935, benefits have been
added for the families of workers (wives, widows, children, and aged dependent parents) and also
for disabled workers and their families. In addition, benefits have been Increased several times
to keep pace with rising costs and levels of living. This year’s benefit Increase was accompanied
by other changes In the program bringing benefits to over one million men, women and children
not previously eligible for payments, md also by the new medicare program, Rawls said.
QUESTION: I was 18 last year when ny father died. I’ve never received social security benefits.
What do I have to do to get benefits >nder the new social security law? I’m a student at the State
College. v
ANSWER: You must apply for benents at your nearest social security office. At the time you
apply, you must furnish evidence of your age and show you are a fulltime student.
QUESTION: I expect to be a student this fall and be eligible for benefits under social security.
Next summer I want to work during my vacation. Will this affect my receiving monthly benefits?
ANSWER: Every beneficiary Is subject to a retirement test. This is, after 1965, you can earn
up to $1,500 for the year and get all benefits. If you work during vacation and earn over SISOO, some
of the benefits for any month in which you have earned more than $125 may be withheld.
QUESTION: Hardly anyone goes to school 12 months a year. If I get child’s benefits while in
school, what happens during the summer months when I won’t be a student? Are any payments
made for the vacation time?
ANSWER: Yes. If you Intend to return to school full-time In the fall, your benefits will continue
during summer vacation, or during any period of 4 months or less that you are out of school
and under 22.
