About 100 numbers went out Wed- esday, it was said at the local post- ffice, which has been assigned he task of giving the account lumbers. There will be three numbers on each account, two of these, eferring to both district and rroup, having been assigned by the Social Security Board in Balti- nore. Newport is listed under District, No.

A final check revealed that only 37 of the 733 employers to whom the SS-4 blanks were sent to list the number of their em- ployes, had failed to make returns, and their names were sent to Baltimore with that notation. Of the 696 employers under the jurisdiction of the local post office who did respond, a total of 3,893 employes were reported.

The serial numbers of these will be issued as soon as possiule.
