W. Luecke, district manager of the Fort Wayne social security office. Luecke acknowledges that since social security monthly benefit payments range from a low of S3O to a high, of $108.50, with a S2OO maximum for family payments, the benefit amount itself obviously is no more than a basic living amount. Mr. Luecke points out that when Congress established this federal family contributory insurance system, it was designed to provide only foundation protection at a reasonable contribution rate. This philosophy ivas contained in the original social security act of 1935, and has been continued with each amendment to the Act since. There are reasons for this, according to Luecke. "The system is paid for entirely by the workers, their employers, and selfemployed people, plus earnings from the invested social security trust fund. By providing for only basic or foundation payments, social security taxes are kept within the ‘reach of all working people, and a real incentive given to individual thrift in keeping with American traditions. It is believed that by providing basic or foundation protection through a federal insurance system, our society is more adequately fulfilling our Constitutional obligation to each other, and to ourselves to provide for the general welfare.” Luecke has called attention to the fact that since social security payments provide only the foundation for adequate retirement disability and survivors protection, one must use other means to provide for adequate or generous retirement income for oneself and his’ family, and for family income maintenance in the event of his death. He should endeavor to provide this during his working lifetime through the purchase of U. S. savings bonds, insurance annuities, non-government stocks and bonds, rental real estate,
