Goldwater Goofed On Social Security

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International There has been no dissent from the claim by Sen. Barry Goldwater that he goofed in his New Hampshire presidential preference primary campaign. The senator was clobbered in March whereas it was reasonaide to believe in January that he was comfortably a front runner. Perhaps toe Goldwater goof was his proposal that Social Security should be voluntary. The old folk could not be ■Expected to like that. They know their Social Security money does not come from their own contributions during their earning years. Their pensions come from the contributions of younger employed men and women who are being taxed today for their support. The working man and woman now paying a percentage of earnings as a Social Security tax knows that succeeding generations of workers will be taxed when the current crop of workers is retired. Under a voluntary system, the current workers would have no assurance that the next generation would continue to pay up. There would not be much incentive for voluntary Social Security payments to support the old folks if there was no assurance that you would be paid off when it comes your turn. That is why the senator’s proposal was sharply countered by assertions that it would bankrupt the Social Security system.

many old folk in New Hampshire. Nearly 9 per cent of New Hampshire’s population is over 65—01 d enough to be receiving Social Security checks under old age survivors and disability insurance system. The national average is 7.1 per tent. In California it is 6.6; Nebraska, 8.7; Oregon, 8.3; Florida, 8.5; South Dakota, 8.2. It is obvious, therefore, that the Social Security retirees could be molded into a substantial voting bloc, for or against. What could mold them more firmly against a candidate than a proposal suspected of looking toward the bankruptcy of the Social Security system? Goldwater may oe able to explain his Social Security proposal in terms which would reassure the pensioners. But if he made any such explanation in New Hampshire, the word didn’t get around. The senator could protect himself from a lot of misinterpretation if he would limit himself in each speech to a single subject and explore that subject fully so there would be no misunderstanding of what he meant. This is peculiarly true in the area of the graduated income tax.

But someone has to call in the location of the breakdowns, as they are not normally seen and reported by the county employes on out-of-the-way roads. Many roads in the north part of the county near the St. Mary’s river were closed Suiday, while 14 different roads in the south part of the county were closed by high water last Wednesday and Thursday. e The commissioners spent most of the morning at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Harley J. Roop, about 1% miles northwest of Decatur on the Winchester road. The commissioners are trying to get a right-of-way so that they ran repair a county bridge, but have not been able to do so as yet. i Two Sewage Firms Petition Merger INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Two Allen County sewage frims today filed a petition with the Indiana Public Service Commission calling for one to buy the other. Diversified Utilities,. Inc., sought to purchase the Land and New Development Corp, for $62,600. Diversified explained that Land was interested primarily in the real estate business while its primary concern is sewage. ;

635 Local Residents In Government Jobs NEW YORK (Special) — How many Adams county residents are holding down government jobs—federal, state and local? How many of them are connected with the public administration part of government? A special report, just released by the department of commerce, presents a social and economic portrait of workers in the United States and of the hundreds of types of work they perform. It is called “occupational characteristics.” From this and from other data on die subject, compiled by the census bureau, it appears that there are 635 local residents employed in civilian capacities by various governmental bodies. Os these, 206 work for agencies of government whose activities come under the head of public administration. Included in this category are those with legislative, judicial and executive functions and. in addition, those in the postal service. In terms of the total number of working people in Adams county, the proportion in public administration is equivalent to 23 per 1,000 workers. * There are many local people, besides these, who are in govern-

Johnson Urges War On Poverty

WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson, calling for “total victory” in the war against poverty, asked Congress today to approve a five-point, $962.5 million program to help open the doors to prosperity for the nation’s poor. In a special message the Chief Executive proposed creation of a new federal office of economic opportunity, headed by Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, to lead the battle. Johnson asked Congress to approve plans for a “job corps” that eventually would grow to 100,600 youths who would be modern-day counterparts of the “CCC boys” of the New Deal days In more than 100 camps across the land. He also called establishment of new urograms to help needy students work their way through college and provide federal subsidies for community plans to attack poverty in cities and on farms. Assault Poverty The President proposed formation of a “domestic Peace Corps,” to be called the Volunteers for America, which would enlist the skills of young and old in the assault on the causes of poverty. Johnson said every dollar he was asking Congress to authorize tor the prpgram had been included in the $97.9 billion budget he sent. to Capitol Hill last January. The total cost comes to 1 per cetf of the federal budget, he said. “We are fully aware that this program will not eliminate all the poverty in America in a few months or a few years,” he said. “Poverty is deeply rooted and its causes are many. “But this program will show the way to new opportunities for millions of our fellow citizens. It will provide a lever with which we can begin to open the door to our prosperity for those who have been kept outside.” Proposes Setup The proposed “job corps” wbuld be composed of youths from 16 to 21 years old who would be selected from those who are not qualified for use-

ment employ in other capacities, outside the field of public administration. I In these other groups are school teachers, public health workers and those connected with municipally-operated services, to mention a few. The number of Adams county residents holding down government jobs that are not related to public administration is 429. The overall total of those in public employment locally is given as 635. As a proportion of the entire working force, it amounts to cne person locally on a government payroll out of every 14 who are employed. Throughout the rest of the United States, byway of comparison, the ratio is one government worker out of every 8 and, in the east north central states, one out of 10. Special importance is attached to the survey because of the finding that government, at nearly every level, has been growing larger and larger in terms of number of people employed.

ful work. A corps of 40,000 boys and men in 100 camps and job training centers around the country is contemplated for the first year. About half would work on special conservation projects to give them work experience and the other 50 per cent would get a blend of training, basic education and work assignments in the training centers. Government sources said the corps would not accept drug addicts or other delinquents but would choose those who might benefit most from leaving home and learning in a new environment. Members of the armed forces may be used as instructors and federal facilities, including army camps, may be leased to house corps members. Officials said that a nationally known educator had been selected to head the job corps. His name was not disclosed. Rejects Proposal These officials also said the administration had considered and rejected a proposal to lower the draft registration age from 18 to 17 in a move to spot youths who need help most; It was noted that there already is a pool of 1,750,G00 youths who have flunked mental or physical tests for the draft. Johnson's 2,800- - .vord message listed five highlights of the program as follows: —Almost 500.W0 underprivileged young Americans would receive a chance to develop skills, continue education and find useful work. —Every American community would have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive antipoverty plan to meet its own problems and receive federal aid to carry it nut —From 3,000 to 5,000 volunteers would be recruited to serve in states and cities where they are requested to help in the anti-poverty drive. - _A system of grants and loans to businessmen and farmers would be set up to help lowincome families. —The legislation would set up the office of economic opportunity as a “national headquarters for the war against poverty.”

Previous month’s level was 85 per cent. This is the third successive month foundries in this region have reported gains. The Decatur Casting cotnpany is a member of the Gray Iron group. The GIFS monthly survey, covering operations of 175 reporting gray and ductile iron foundries in the United States and Canada, showed February shipments of 103,613 net tons of iron castings. This total included 99,647 tons gray, 1,949 tons ductile and 2,017 tons high alloy. February shipments were 86 per cent of ideal, compared with 74 per cent a year ago, said Donald H. WorKman, executive vice president of the society. Shipments last month dipped slightly from January’s 91 per cent of ideal capacity. Ideal capacity is the level at which a foundry produces and ships casting most efficiently. Included are components for automobiles, machine tools, agricultural, construction, mining, oilfield, -textile, municipal and other equipment.

FLOOD (Continued from Page One) Sunday after a small 750-gal-lons-e-minute auxiliary pump lent by a local industry was pressed into service. Mayor C. J. Hauck expected at least domestic needs would be taken care of by this morning but said Sunday industries and schools would be closed today. Drinking water was provided over the weekend through the qse of emergency tanks, furnished by civil defense and National Guard units at Indianapolis, Bloomington and Evansville. Hardest hit by the water shortage was Dunn Memorial Hospital. Only emergency operations were scheduled as the hospital lost heat due to lack of water for boilers. The hospital also had no water for sanitation. sterlization and dish washing, forcing patients to use paper plates. Officials said emergency tanks of watfer provided for patient drinking. < The loss of water also prevented another problem—possible contamination due to air pockets left in the mains. State Board of Health' spokesman Lee Moore said the schools may be left closed longer than today because of the danger.

He urged all residents receiving water through the mains to boil it for at least five minutes before using it. He said it may be as late as Wednesday before the contamination danger is past. The flood was also indirectly responsible for the crash of a state police helicopter assigned to photograph flood waters in connection with the Cannelton emergency. Pilot Paul Vogel, 26, Evansville, a state police sergeant, and James Hopp, 27, Plainfield, a civilian state police photographer, escaped unhurt whenthe cfaft crashed and burned while landing at the 4-H Fairgrounds between Tell City and Cannelton Sunday. Elsewhere, flood waters and backwaters from overburdened tributaries today began to recede, leaving a morass of silt and debris in the homes inundated by the muddy-/waters. An estimated 800 homeowners were expected to return to their homes and begin the cleanup today. The towns of Grandview, Utica, Mauckport and Aurora continued to be covered by water, although about 800 refugees were able to return to their Aurora homes Sunday, according to Aurora Police Chief Robert Warburton.
