Speed Receipts Os Security Benefits "Do you plan to retire from employment or business this year? —or even next? The time to find out about the social security benefits payable to you and your dependents is now,” according to Christian H. W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office. "If you want to be sure you get all the social security checks to which you are entitled, speed up the receipt of your social security benefits by knowing your rights and being prepared when you apply for your monthly payments, then inquire before you retire. "There are certain steps every applicant can take to make sure there will be no undue delay. At the time you file for benefits you should bring with you: "(1) Your social security account number card. "<?) Proof of your age. A birth or baptismal certificate is the best proof of age. However, certain other old documents or records are .acceptable. Your social security office will give you specific information on what types of proofs are acceptable and how they may be obtained. "(3) A copy of Form W-2, ‘Statement of Wages Paid’ for the preceding year. If you are self-em-ployed, you should furnish a copy of your last year’s tax return, form 1040 and schedule ‘C’ <or schedule ‘F’ if a self-employed farmer) and proof of the social security tax payment for that year (cancelled check or a receipt.) "It's important too,” Luecke said, “that you know what you have earned in employment or self-employment in the year you apply for your payments. For example. if you should retire the end of November, 1959, and then apply for benefits in the same year; you should be prepared to give an estimate of your total earnings for 1959 (January through November). Check with your local social security office well in advance of your retirement to make sure what proofs you’ll need. "And if you know just when you are going to retire, visit your social security office at least dne month before that date to apply for your payments. This will shorten the time between your last pay check and your first social security check. “You will prevent any possible loss of payments—you will avoid delay in getting your first check—: you will know exactly how social security win fit into your retirement plans—when you inquire before you retire!”

Bobbitt had to give special permission to submit it in four volumes, rather than one volume as required by court rules. The transcript was delivered by James Rocap and Keith Reese, atfor the two convicted men, three days before their fourth extension of time expired. The fourth extension, until Oct. 10, had been authorized by the high court last Sept. 18. Sherwood, former Indiana adjutant general, and Sayer, former administrative assistant to ex-Gov. George N. Craig, were convicted in Marion Criminal Court July 2, 1958. They were sentenced to 2-14 year prison terms and fined $15,000 each for conspiracy to bribe and bribery of former highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith in the sale of equipment to the state.
