There are several agencies that
use the Social Security number for
other than Social Security purposes,
Thomas Lavelle, Social Security
manager in Wilkes-Barre, said
recently.
The Internal Revenue Service, for
example, requires people to show
the Social Security number on
income tax returns. Also, the
Department of Defense has substi-
tuted the Social Security number for
the military service number for all
members of the armed forces.
Social Security numbers are also
required for any person who applies
for or receives payment under any
Federal or federally-subsidized pro-
gram. Today, there are compara-
tively few people who do not need a
Social Security number for one pur-
pose or another, Lavelle said.
Media coverage has probably
lured many a film-goer to see the
“Year of the Dragon.’”’ The movie is
an explosive crime drama about
gangland violence and racial ten-
sions in New York’s Chinatown.
Mickey Rourke, who turns in a
powerful performance, portrays
police captain Stanley White whose
assignment is to curtail
gang violence in
the Chinatown
section of the |
city. When this f
former Vietnam
marine discovers
that youth groups
are linked to the
Chinese Mafia-
like triad organi-
zation, he goes
after their leaders with an obsession
second to none.

are semblances of ‘The Deerhun-
ter’ rather than ‘‘Heaven's Gate”
in the “Year of the Dragon.”
Written by Cimino and Oliver
Stone, the screenplay for the “Year
of the Dragon’ lacks consistency,
but captures the code of «honor
associated with the elderly Chinese,
broken in the film by Joey Tai
(actor John Lone). The plot could
cohesive factor missing in the
movie that accounts for its length,
136 minutes.
Overall, the “Year of the Dragon’’
is stereotypical and not only sexist,
but racist as well. In fact, a group
calling itself the Coalition Against
Year of the Dragon, made up of
labor unions, media groups, Chinese
factions, women and community
organizations, proclaimed their dis-
satisfaction with Cimino, Dino De
Laurentis, the producer, and MGM-
UA, the film’s distributor, at pro-
tests held in New York, Los Ange-
les, San Francisco, Boston and Chi-
cago. Robert Daley, the author of

based, has even spoken out deplor-
ing the violence and racism
depicted in the film.
So much enraged criticism lev-
eled at the ‘Year of the Dragon”
has prompted MGM-UA Chairman
Frank Rothman to announce a dis-
claimer to the film. This addition
states ‘‘this film does not intend to
demean. or to ignore the many
positive features of Asian-Ameri-
cans and specifically Chinese-Amer-
ican communities. Any similarity
between the depiction in this film
and any. association, organization,
individual, or Chinatown that exists
in real life is accidental.”
With reservations aside, one
redeeming feature of the movie is
that it “visually” looks good. Credit
this achievement to cinematography
done by Alex Thomason and Wolf
Kroeger’s production design. Per-
haps it~is this splendid technical
attribute of the film that has ena-
bled the ‘‘Year of the Dragon” to
gross $4,093,079 in its opening week-
end around the country.

Among private organizations,
there is a growing trend to use the
Social Security number in their own
numbering systems and control
records. Such use is neither author-
ized nor approved by the Social
Security Administration.
There is no Federal law that
requires ‘a person to furnish a
number to these organizations for
such purposes.
On the other hand, there is no
provision against such use of the
Social Security number by an
organizaiton for its own records if
the number is obtained voluntarily
from that person. This is a private
matter between the organizatin and
the person.
Any organization considering pri-
vate use of the number should
realize that the Social Security
Administration does not verify num-
bers or names or furnish other
information from records which
would ‘involve an unauthorized
expenditure of Social Security taxes
or disclosure of confidential infor-
mation.
More information about the use of
Social Security numbers can be
obtained at the Wilkes-Barre Social
Security office, located at Room
2227, Penn Place, 20 N. Pennsyl-
vania Ave., Wilkes-Barre. The tele-
phone number is 826-6371.
