security rights.
The Senator conferred with
Rep. Roy o. Woodruff (R) of
Michigan, who is preparing
amendments to a bill introduced
by Rep. Alvin F. Weichel (R)
of Ohio, to remedy gaps and
inequities in the present social
security law.
Congress should see to IL
that the social security rights Of
servicemen and veterans are
fully protected, and that those
they have been deprived of are
restored" S tor Ferguson
said.
AS first publicly exposed by The
Detroit Times. thousands of serv-
icemen acquired social security
credits before entering the armed
forces which have now been lost
entirely or greatly diminished.
VET BENEFITS SHRINK
No social security benefits al all
accrue to the dependents of men
who have died fighting for their
country if the time they spent in
military or naval service was
longer than the period they wore
engaged IN civilian occupation
covered by social security.
Each quarter year of military
service has decreased the social
security benefits TO dependents of
those dying in action who did
work in a covered" occupation for
a longer period than they were in
uniform.
Rep. Weichel asserts that the
Veterans of Foreign Wars post in
Fostoria. o. has advised him that
the Toledo Social Security office
alone has more than 100 cases on
file where dependents were de-
MED all survivors benefits under
social security.
