' Social Security Card Replicas ;!Burned Here Eleven members of the San Diego Young Americans for Freedom burned copies of their Social Security cards yesterday to protest compulsory participa- tion in the program. The demonstration was staged during the noon hour in front o the Social Security Administra- tion office at 3211 Fifth Ave. Gary Lane, 22, a University of San Diego law student residing at 4792 Mt. Gaywas St. and chairman of the group, said the Y AF is opposed to Social Securi- ty because the program is deep in debt, eliminates freedom of choice and returns less money to most beneficiaries than they put into the fund in payroll de- ductions. "We think Social S e cur it y should be voluntary, not com- pulsory," Lane said. "You can get a much better return by in- v e s t i n g the same amount of money in private insurance." Lane noted that burning the cards is not a crime. , He said photostatic copies were burned rather than originals, because o' fees charged by Social Security for card replacem~nt.
