Self-Employed Due
To Make Social
Security Reports
James G. Browne, manager of
the Social Security Administration,
today reminded self-employed peo
ple that most of them are earning
credit toward Federal old-age and
survivors insurance beginning in
1951. He announced the issuance
of a new booklet telling in plain
language how the law now affects
people who own their own business
or work ior themselves, and ex
plaining how the self-employed will
make their first reports early next
year on their earnings, for so
| cial security purposes.
"As with other gainfully employed
people in commerce and industry,”
Browne said, "social security cov
erage of the self-employed is not
optional. If the individual's employ
ment meets the terms of the law,
he is covered and must make his
social security tax report for 1951,
as a part of his income tax return
due by March 15, 1952."
The new booklet entitled “Do You
Work For Yourself," is now avail
able at every social security office.
It explains that self-employed peo
ple who earn $400 or more in a
year are covered by the law, with
the exception of farm operators,
doctors, lawyers, dentists, profes
sional engineers, full-time, public
accountants, and certain other pro
fesstonal people.1
"Under the new law, the person
who owns his own trade or busi
ness now builds up old-age and sur
vivors insurance rights Just as em
ployees, including corporation ex
ecutives, have been doing for 15
years. This little booklet gives ex
amples'of monthly benefits for re
tired self-employed people of up
to $80 for a single person or up to
$120 for a couple. The family of
a self-employed man will be pro
tected, in case of his death, with
insurance benefits up to $150 a
month.”
Inc social security manager em
phasized that more than four mill
ion people arc now receiving month
ly insurance payments, some as re
tired workers and others as depen
dents or survivors.
The booklet points out that ev
4 y se1,^-employed person should
be sure that he has his own per- ]
sonal social security card before
the 1951 income tax report is due.
The card, or a duplicate to replace
one that has been lost, can be sec
ured at any social security office.
Amount of the social security tax
for 1951 is 2 1-4 percent of net earn
ings up to $3600. In the case of the
person whose earnings are $400 for
the year 1951, the tax will be $9;
for the person who earns $3600 or
more from self-employment in 1951, >
the amount of the tax is $81.
“About 4,600,000 persons are be
lieved to be included in these pro
visions,” said Browne. “They re
present the largest new group!
brought into old-age and survivors
insurance coverage by the 1950
amendments to the social security j
act. Federal old-age and survivors

A Tip to Ladies
It's Men's Night
At Behrends
He might vant "a night out,” so
tile rumor g( es. And sometimes that
might be open to question. But at
this season, when everyone (almost)
i ii. n m.m. (mellow mood, that is)
a tip to the ladies is to let him
have it.
Down at Behrends the trail to
night is a forbidden one. Forbidden
to the ladies, that is, after seven
o’clock. Tonight the sign is out FOR
MEN ONLY.
Take it for what it’s worth. A
wise prowler rumored that it might
be well to let him have his night
out. Tonight, that is. This may be
a precedent, it was indicated by a
member of the staff of the Be
hrends organization. It’s an ex
periment, at least, and so far as
can be remembered, is perhaps the
first time the stunt has been pre
sented to the men of Juneau.
So, if the prognostications of its 1
Originators are correct, one might j
see a masculine crowd by peeking ]
through the keyhole at Behrends
tonight. |

who work for themselves in res

Many of them are small operators
with the same need for this pro
tection as their employees.”
Unusual Fealure i
Now on Screen
At 20th Century
In Paramount's "When Worlds
Collide," which opened last night
at the 20th Century Theatre, pro
ducer George Pal has taken an
awesome theme — the destruction
of the earth — and wrapped It up
in an explosive package of Techni
color thrills that jarred opening
day audiences right out of their
seats. In super-spectacular fashion
the film closes in on a hypothetical
day of doom when our planet is
shattered in a collision with a run
away star.
A bag of ingenious production
tricks, some startling photography
and fine performances by a cast
headed by Richard Derr, Barbara
Rush and Peter Hanson are effec
tively combined as Pal’s cameras
alternately focus on the impending
collision and the frantic attempts
of an army of scientists to ready a
space ship for a voyage to another
planet before the big blow.
The plan is to take a select few j
and transport our civilization on;
another world. Howt they are chosen,
the panic of the multitudes who
have no escape, the perilous journey
to a strange planet and the final
obliterating collision are all pre
sented with frightening autfhentic
