Washfngton, D. C.~Expenditures for
new construction rose to $2-314 billion
in may. setting a new record for the
month, according to a Joint report of
the U. S. Labor Department’s Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the Building
Materials Division, U. S. Department
of Commerce. During the first five
months of 1952, total new construction
outlays amounted to $11.9 billion, 3
percent more than the total for the
corresponding period of last year.
Seasonal advances in most types of
construction in May maintained total
construction activity at a level moder-
ately above a year ago. Expenditures
for private residential building were
about the same as in May 1951, and
"take the case of a local grocer. He has
been self-employed for the past 20
years and has not been covered by so-
cial security until 1951. He had plan-
ned to turn over his business to his son
and retire in April of this year, after
he had earned the necessary six quar-
ters of coverage after 1950 If he re-
tires in April, his benefit will be com-
puted on the basis of his net earnings
for 1951, divided by 18. If he continues
in business until January 1953, his
benefit will be computed on the basis
of his net earnings for 1951 and 1952.
divided by 24. This might make a con-
siderable difference in the amount of
his benefit."
Avery points out that a claimant
must make his own decision on when
he wants to retire and file his claim
for benefits. “However, if he will con-
tact our office, we can point out the
various advantages and disadvantages
to him so that he will be able to make
the most favorable decision,” con-
cluded Avery.
The Dallas social security office is
located at 506 Terminal Annext Bldg.

"If you are a self-employed person
aged 65 or over and plan to retire in
1952, you should contact the local so-
cial security office at once,” says Z.
E. Avery, manager of the local office.
“This contact may be to your ad-
vantage. Retirement benefits, based
on self-employment income alone, will
be reduced in amount if a claim is
filed in 1952.” added Avery.
The 1950 Amendments to the Social
Security Act provide that net earnings
for the year in which a self-employed
person files a claim will not be used
in computing the benefit. Thus, If a
self-employed person files a claim in
1952, his retirement benefit will be
based on his net earnings for 1951. di-

ly above last year, despite recent de-
clines. Most other types of private
nonresidential building activity were
below year-ago levels. Public utility
construction showed a moderate in-
crease over the year. Total private
outlays for new construction amount-
ed to $1.8 billion in May, bringing ex-
penditures for the first 5 months of
1952 to 38.1 billion.
Public spending for new construc-
tion continued ’its upward climb,
reaching 8947 million in May. An in-
crease in highway work, although less
than usual for this time of year, was
an Important factor In boosting this
total. Federal expenditures for mili-
tary. atomic energy. and defense plant
facilities rose more than seasonally.
Total public outlays for new construc-
tion during the first five months of
1952 exceeded $3.8 billion, 25 percent
more than during the corresponding
period of 1951.

The information read into the Con-
gressional Record by Congressman
Roney of eNew York about the wide-
spread use of wetbacks in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley of Texas is a
healthy thing for Texas.
The fact that the huge farms of the
Shary Estate, owned by the mother-in-
law and wife of Governor Allan Shiv-
ers, use, in Rooney’s words “hundreds
of wetbacks” to cultivate and harvest
their crops in something that should
be known to all Texans. Shivers, ask-
ed for comment, said it was a "Wash-
ington smear.” But, as the Temple
Telegram commented editorially, Shiv-
ers didn’t deny it
Rooney told Congress that he per-
sonally had seen illegal farm workers
paid off at the rate of 85 for a week’s
work. Congressman Lloyd Bentsen,
Jr., of McAllen, contending that what
Rooney had seen was not true, said it
was a “put up job.” In other words,
what the McAllen congressman was
saying was that a Valley grower, wish-
ing to give the New York Congressman
some misleading information, had paid
off the workers at the rate of 85 a
week, just to fool him. We doubt if
Valley growers would be quite that
cooperative with a Congressman who
was investigating their use of illegal
immigrants
Ed Idar, Jr., the State chairman of
the American GI forum of Texas, hit
the nail on the head in an open letter
to Agriculture Commissioner John C.
White when he pointed out the facts
shown by the official records of Texas
State agencies. It is true that more
Texas farm workers leave Texas each
year to work in other States than
there are Mexican farm workers
brought into Texas to fill the imagi-
nary shortage of farm labor In Texas.
There is no shortage of farm labor
in Texas, There is a shortage of people
who will do the heavy stoop labor for
35 to 45 cents an hour, when they can
go to other States and earn two or
three times as much doing the same
type of work. The peonage system of
using wetbacks to deprive U. S. citi-
zens of their livelihood in South Texas
is what all decent-thinking American
citizens are worried about.
Hidalgo County, where the Shary-
Shivers family has amassed its wealth
in farming with cheap labor, has more
tuberculosis than any other county in
Texas. The climate is healthful. It is
simply that the Valley employers don’t
pay enough for a family to live on,
even when the whole family works at
every opportunity. Poor food, poor
housing, lack of sanitary facilities and
the other things which go with miser-
able wages are the reason that 100,000
Texans leave the State each year to

what a Hidalgo County farm labor
family could earn in a year at the
"prevailing wage” supported by the
flood of wetbacks.
Word seeping out of the closed-door
conferences at which the new agree-
ment was worked out between the U.
S. and Mexico for the importation of
Mexican farm workers under contract
has it that a 50-cent minimum wage
is included for Texas farm work. The
old contract which expires July 31
calls for a 45-cent minimum. Naturally
the Valley growers’ lobbies in Wash-
ington don’t want to pay 45 cents an
hour That is why they want to crip-
ple the Immigration Service in Its ef-
fort to keep the border under control.
It is significant that after Congress-

resentatives the facts about what wet-

that of Shivers, of prominent people
