Social Security Costs and Coverage in 1971
SSA figures show monthly outlays of 3 billion dollars to 28 million beneficiaries including retirement health disability and survivors. In fiscal 1971 44 billion dollars were paid with 31 billion to retirement and survivors and 3.4 billion to disabled workers. Medicare totaled 7.5 billion and administrative costs were about 1 to 2 percent of 110 billion collected. The U S Chamber of Commerce calls benefits huge and essential amid inflation and rising affluence. Edward Kramer notes 28 percent of workers will face a higher tax ceiling next year from 9000 to 10800.

Apollo 17 Logs Show Ultraviolet Scan Of Deep Sky Regions
Apollo 17 pilots planned ultraviolet sensor work to study the star Spirca in Virgo and a Dark South area near the Milky Way. Johns Hopkins astronomer Dr. Richard G. Henry notes the telescope will also examine the moonless sky. The mission focused on surveying the Moon during six days in lunar orbit. Schmitt and Cernan explored the surface for three days while Evans performed a one hour six minute spacewalk. Evans marveled at Earth’s crescent as mission control monitored cabin cues after Evans’ EVA. The craft has operated flawlessly since Cape Kennedy launch on December 7, with no mission-critical issues detected despite a possible lights anomaly.
