B-2 UL. BAY -S 'S vs: Monday. March 291982 Sribuar AODAY ir.a, Hospital move to quit Sricial Security; hit By David tong names of the hospitals. He uid the union had identified 12 hospi- tals In the country' that filed no-tices to leave the Social. Security system.

SEIU 'officials-In. Washington and Sad Francikco later con-' finned that Franklin was one of -the dozen known to have filed notices. Employees and their employers contribute to the Social Security system through withholding taxes that offer a range of benefits, including retirement, survivors and disability. Most firms, cannot withdraw from the Social Security system. Special legislation was passed in 1952 to permit state, local and non-profit entities join the 'Social Security system and withdraw, if they wish.

She said the quality of the benefits not the expense of Social Security was the primary consideration behind the filing of the withdrawal notice, The question of seeking ah tentative insurance plan at nonprofit hospitals surfaced more than a week ago when SEIU president Sweeney told a press conference in Washington that he had learned from the Social Security Administration that 271 hospitals had filed two-year notices of withdrawal covering 192,000 Workers. The SEIU has 675,000 members, 250,000 of whan are health cere workers. Sweeney said the federal government had rejected a Freedom, Information request on the Suita tion with the union. Under federal law, non-profit organizations must submit a notice to withdraw from Social Se- curity with the Internal Revenue Service two years in advance of an actual move. Franklin, which filed its notice In I960, can legally' withdraw from Social Security on July 1.

Kathleen Kane, personnel 'ill-rector for Franklin, confirmed the but said the hospital had done so only to investigate the possibility of withdrawal and that no decision, has been She said the hospital is review- ing its Social Security plan and several private insurance plans to determine the most beneficial one for its employees.

Linde said a development group, which he. did not identify, Made such a proposal. but he rejected it and so did Southern "Pacific lbe real estate operations parent company. However, the proposal has not died, Linde said.

Linde said he did not feel that a stadium, which would take up 40 to 50 of the 195 acres, would be the best use for the land. Southern Pacific also is developing, the 30-story Pacific Gateway office building in San Francisco, which Linde said should be -completed by August or Septem-1 ber. The firm, which owns about 3.7 million acres in California, Nevada and Utah, also is developing a 20-acre business park in San 'Jose.

It's a tong pull, but eventually they put you in touch with someone who does have a say over trade, Abernathy said.

Glover is one of the more unfortunate veterans. He' has left the war, but the war hasnt left him.
