You'll find Vour answer in this column, which is published regularly.) Q— l was recently denied disability benefits because my disability is not severe enough. I would like to apply and have my wages “frozen.” Can I do this? A—No. The requirements for the freeze and the monthly disability payments are basically the same. Q— l’m 74 years old and - still working steadily. I understand that my social security benefit of >ll6 a month was based on earnings of $4,200. I also understand that a person may now receive credit up to $4,800. Well, I earned $3065.98 from January to December. 1959 and will have earned SIBOO by July of this year, which will total $4865.96 for six quarters. How and when do I apply for my increase in social security benefits? A—Sony, but you aren’t eligible so ran increase. Your social security benefit of sll6 is based on average yearly earnings of $4,200. In order to receive an increase in your benefit payment, you would have had to make over $4,200 from January to December, 1959. Q—ls I file for disability benefits will these benefits be less than benefits I would receive if I were age 65? A—■No The same method of figuring your benefit is used when you qualify for a disability payment as would be used if you were age 65. Q— l hope to net $350 per year from rental of two sleeping rooms. I will care for these rooms myself. Will I have to pay social security tax on this $350? A—No, not if this is your only self-employment income. Before your self-employment income is taxable for social security purposes, it must net you S4OO or more. Q— l would like to know if I would be eligible to draw disability benefits. I am 80 years old and have been down with arthritis since last May. I am already receiving retirement but could use some more help. A—The disability provisions of the social security law apply only to people who become disabled before age 66. Since you became disabled after 65, you cannot qualify for any increase in benefits because you are disabled. You may, however, wish to contact the county department of public welfare for any assistance they could offer. Q— l’m a 67 year old widow. In addiiton to my social security benefits, I have some income from roomers and also some wages from domestic work. Do I have to pay income tax and social se-

However, if you clear S4OO in a year from your roomers or if any of your domestic employers pay you SSO in a 3-month period, you must pay social security tax on this income.

fair in 1965, was Hugh A. Smith, of the Century 21 Exposition, who, it might have first appeared, was beating his drums for the Seattle spectacle in his competitor's home territory. “Not so,” said Smith. “On the contrary,” he said, “rather than being in competition with each other we tend to reinforce one another. And I also point out some three years and 3.000 miles will separate our endeavors.” The beginning of Century 21. in which more than 30 countries and 100 corporations will invest some $72 million, was in 1955, Smith recalled. In Seattle, three civic and business' leaders, giving free-rein to their imaginations, gave birth to, and just as important, publicly stated, the idea that the bustling northwest metropolis should have a world’s fafr. The three man were Ross Cunningham, Associate Editor of the Seattle Times; Al Rochester, City Councilman; and Don Follett, head of the Seattle Chamber Ji

Commerce. Seattle, a young and vigorous region with a history appropriate tq the pioneering theme of man’s newest frontier, responded. The city and the state of Washington invested $6 million for the purchase of the 74-aere exposition site just one mile from the main business area. An additional $23 million will be spent by the Century 21 corporation and the city, state and Federal governments for new buildings and site development. The site, Smith said, will be divided into the five Worlds of Century 21, connected by a network of walkways, streets and plazas known as Boulevards of the World. He said the plans Call for 400,000 square feet of exhibit space in permanent buildings, 350,000 in temporary structures, and 550,000 square feet of outdoor area for the construction of pavilions, restaurants, shops and amusement attractions. The exposition's prime exhibitor will be the United States government, which will display the

most extensive scientific exhibit ever assembled by this nation. The five-unit pavilion—designed by Minoru Yamasaki, of Detroit, and Naramore, Bain, Brady and Johanson, of Seattle—will be as large as the one this country erected at the Brussels World Fair and will cost $3.5 million. The housing exhibit it will house will cost $5.5

million. The $9 million total represents the largest single appropriation ever made by Congress for a domestic exhibition. “Two years of intensive planning by top scientists, educators and government research specialists have produced truly unique exhibition concepts for the U.S. Pavilion,” Smith said.
