YOUNG, District Judge.
The claimant, Ernest H. Thorne, is 74 years old and has been self-employed as a livestock broker on and off for the past forty years. In 1958 he learned of payments under the self-employment provisions of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S. C.A. §§ 401-425. He engaged an accountant, who filed income tax returns for him for the years 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1958. He now claims he is entitled to social security payments for these years.
