Central Illinois Deaths West German Armed Forces Start Training Andernach, Germany, Jan. 2 (AP) The first 1,800 men of the new West German army, navy and air force started training today. At Andernach, 800 officers and men started a three month basic training course. At three U.S.

Air Force bases 650 future pilots entered courses with Americans as instructors. At Wilhelmshaven, the first 165 volunteers for the navy were organized under command of Lt. Cmdr. U. Reschke, a former U- boat captain.

And at Noervenich in the Rhineland, 180 technicians and maintenance men began air force training. The army trainees at Andernach will become instructors for future training battalions that will serve as a nucleus for the 12-division army. Within a week, the first American weapons to be supplied to the Wehrmacht under the military assistance program will be delivered to Andernach, the Defense Ministry said. These will include rifles, machineguns, pistols and bazookas. The first group here was organized into four regular army com- 6 panies, one company of military police, a band and a procurement unit.

Maj. Hans Busch, 40, decorated World War II veteran, welcomed the 800 men. Officers and men alike wearing olive colored fatigue and American type combat boots with rubber soles. All the 250 officers and noncommissioned officers are combat veterans of World War II. None of the 550 privates served in the war.

Half of them will be commissioned later as officers and half as non-commissioned officers. Social Security (Continued from Page 3) Farm Employes The only test a farm worker must meet to qualify for coverage is earning at least $100 a year from any one employer. The new law broadens coverage of farm workers, Straub said. From 1951 through 1954, farm work was covered only if the employe was regularly employed on a full- basis and for cash wages of $50 or more in a calendar quarter. The farmer-employer no longer must keep track of how long workers were emploved and the ber of days worked in each quarter.

It is the responsibility of the employer to make reports and pay taxes on each worker to whom he paid at least $100 in cash for farm work during the year. The employer pays two per cent and the worker pays an additional two per cent on the worker's wages up to $4,200 a year. The worker's tax is deducted from pay by the employer. The employer should obtain an employer's identification number for use in making reports for farm workers. This number can be obtained from a district office of either the Social Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service.

The farm worker must obtain a Social Security account number from a Social Security office. The benefits to both self-employed farmers and farm and certain dependents range from $30 to $200 monthly, depending on the average earnings up to $4,200 a year. Payments start after the farmer reaches 65. In the event of the farmer's death, payments are made to his survivors. Straub pointed out that many self-employed farmers who alreadv have reached the age of 65 will be eligible for benefits after April 1, 1956.
