jHJ—t}—» kH a. •* I Congressman T i Floyd ■ M J Fithian A } Reports !

Dear Congressman Fithian: There was a deal ready to go through on letting the state open up the military property next to the Kingsbury Wildlife area in LaPorte County as a place where people could hunt. Some colonel somewhere stopped it. This would give sportsmen more room to hunt, and, as I understand it. the area would be closed to hunters whenever the government needed to use the land. Maybe you could try to get the army to change its mind and open the land. G. Porter County Dear G.S.: After two months of communication between my office and headquarters for the sth US Army, I'm pleased to inform you that the original decision has been reversed. Hunting should soon be allowed on the land in question during week days when the area is not being used for training of reserve troops. Steps are now being taken by army authorities to finalize this matter. A formal agreement will be necessary between the corps of engineers and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, but I hope they will act quickly to open the area for limited use by sportsmen. I'm sure the state will notify the news media when the area is opened If I can be of senice again, don’t hesitate to contact me. Floyd Fithian Your Congressman Dear Mr. Fithian: 1 will be 62 in a couple of months, and I want to begin to draw my Social Security benefits then. 1 think the suggestion made by some of the Carter administration bureaucrats to raise the age for eligibility for Social Security, to 68 is ridiculous. What happens if you work for a company with a mandatory retirement age of 62 or 65 and then you can’t get Social Security until you are 68? H. White County Dear H.G.: You’ve raised two very important issues: mandatory retirement and Social Security financing. Older Americans today are having a hard time living on fixed retirement income, with the increasing cost of living. By allowing forced retirement, we are preventing a useful segment of the population from actively contributing to the economy. Many Americans have neither the desire nor the need to work beyond normal retirement age But others need the extra income or enjoy the activity which partor full-time work provides. We must stop penalizing those Americans who want to be productive workers They deserve better treatment than they presently receive, and that is why I strongly oppose mandatory retirement. I feel equally strongly about

the serious problems which would occur by raising the Social Security eligibility age to 68. Many people are like yourself: they are preparing to retire at ages 62 or 65, and they have paid into the system mos. of their workinglives. They have fulfilled their part of the agreement. Social Security has a responsibility to fulfill its part. I certainly will oppose any effort in this Congress to change the age eligibility for Social Security. Floyd Fithian Your Congressman Dear Congressman Fithian. 1 am a disabled veteran, and I would like to know what happened to the pension adjustment that 1 think we’re supposed to get this year. Who will it apply to? T.L., Lake CountyDear T.L.: Both houses of Congress nowhave acted on a bill to increase some veterans’ pensions byseven per cent. Final approval of the conference report should come fairly soon, and I expect the President to have the bill on his desk sometime this fall. When the bill becomes law. pensions allocated to veterans and survivors with non-service connected disabilities will be raised. Perhaps more .importantly, though, the bill also increases the income limitation to ensure that no veteran will lose a pension solely because of the 5.9 per cent Social Security benefits increase that went into effect July 1. It just doesn’t make sense to me to reduce veterans’ pensions whenever their Social Securitybenefits go up. We must never forget our responsibility to those who have given so much to our nation. As a navy veteran myself. I know how important good veterans legislation can be.
