THE BEST PLACE
TO
MEET YOUR Ell I ENDS
JUNE IS HIDES - - MORE HEADACHES
Came June, came brides—now came headaches
for the biggest bookkeeping organization
in the coiintry, the Social -Security Admin
istration.
Being proud of their new names, working
brides almost invariably ask the boss to
show their hew names on the payroll— and
being human, most of them put off bringing
their cards around to the Social Security
Administration office for ah official '
Social Security name change, Hugh J. 7ade,
Director of the Alaska Office, reports.
So, last month’s bride now appears on her
employer’s social security report as Mary
Brown along with the number that the Social
Security Administration records show for
Mary Smith. The Social Security Adminis
tration suspects that a narridge might be
! the answer to the discrepancy, but there
is also the chance that Mary Brown is a
new employee who was accidentally reported
with Mary Smith's number.
Mr. Wade explains that the Government
can't afford to take chances, and corres
pondence with the'employer id necessary
before Mary Brown, nee Snithj can get cre
dit for'the wages she earned. "In most in
stances, the records are cleared and'Mrs.
Mary'Brown gets credit for her wage's," he
said,"but this happens only after tho Gov
ernment and the employer have spent cornel
siderable time and effort in untangling
the mix^up.
"How that June is over I’m extending all
June brides an invitation.to ccme in or
'•Trite to the office in Juneau and get
jtheir new names'officially added to their
j social security account number cards," he
I concluded,
ALASKA SHIPPING KATE
HEARINGS POSTPONED
The Maritime Commission has postponed un
til October 27, the'hearing scheduled to
be held September-8, in Seattle to inves
tigate freight and passenger rates'on
American ships in the Alaska trade.
The hearing was set by the commission fol
lowing denial last spring of the petition
|of the Territory of Alaska requesting sus
pension of pending increased rates until
a hearing had been held. The increased
rates were placed in effect May 21, at a
time when the shipping companies entered
into exclusive contracts with the commis
sion and received partial government sub
sidy in the operation of their vessels in
the form of nominal ship hire and payment
of hull insurance by the government.
