A NIXON VICTORY?

Since November 6 the experts
have been attempting to give us
the reasons for the Eisenhower
avalanche. While not an expert,
I'm wondering if it wasn't a Nix
on landslide over Kefauver, rath-
er than a loc-sided victory of
Eisenhower over Stevenson.
What leads me to wonder is
the votes given to the vice presi-
dental candidates in their own
states, counties and precincts.
Apparently in California,
where they should know him
best, they had no qualms about
Dick succeeding to the presi-
dency in the event Ike becomes
incapacitated. California rolled
up approximately 2,875,637 votes
for him against 2,312,290 for
Estes. Los Angeles county scor-
ed l,218,4 for Dick and 970,003
for Estes. Dicks own precinct
voted 152 for him and gave Estes
only GA.
What hap cened in Tennessee
where folks can reasonably be
expected to know Estes inside
and out? Results there indicate
that the good people of TenneS-
see were apprehensive about the
possibility of their native son
succeeding to the presidency.
Dick carried Tennessee; Hamil-
ton county (Where Kcfauver
practiced law before going to
Congress) voted Republican by
more than 5000 votes; Monroe
county, Estes birthplace, gave
Dick an edge of about 1000; and
the biggest blow to Estes was
that Lookout Mountain rreCinct
where he cast his vote gave him
only 1863 votes to 789 for Dick.
No wonder I'm wondering!
And no wonder these statistics,
demonstrating that Dick was not
a handicap to Ike, must be q

Unoer the Old social security
law, benefit payments to Child
ended when the child reached
age 10. For most children, this
provision still holds. A change
in the law, however, now pro-
vides for the payment of benefits
under certain conditions to a
disabled child after age 18 if
the child became totally dis
abled before age 18.
To be eligible for child's bene-
fits after age l8, the child must
be unmarried and be dependent
on parent, step-parent, or adopt
ing parent who is eligible for old
age insurance benefits, or who
was insured for the purpose of
survivors benefits at the time of
his or her death. The mother of
the child is also eligible for
monthly benefit payments as
long as she continues to have the
disabled child in her care.
say child" because the
child's benefit payments under
this provision in the amended
law are based on a disability
which became total before the
child's 18th birthday. However,
the benefits continue indefinitely
into adult years as long as the
beneficiary remains totally dis
abled. Moreover, it is not neces-
sary that the recipient of dis
abled child's benefits have any
work record at all under social
security in order to get these
monthly payments.
In writing the provision for
disabled child's benefits into the
amended law, Congress gave re-
cognition to a Wcll-knoWn fact.
Disabled children are as depen-
dent on their parents after at
tanning age Is as before and
therefore, it was felt that it was
important to fill this gap in the
Federal Insurance program by
providing benefits for children
who would not be able to sup
port themselves.
We all realize the distressing
and serious situation faced by
people who have the care of a
child who because of a mental
deficiency never grows up, or
who because of a physical inn
pairment requires constant care
throughout life. The concern of
these parents is the more acute
because they are constantly
haunted by the spectre of un-
certainty-What will happen 10

income is cut off by the death

Parents of children who are
now disabled should Get in touch
with our social security office
sos South Street, GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, within the next few weeks.
The first payments to disabled
children Is or over, who dis
ability became total before they
reached age Is will be for
January 1857. However, no
monthly payments for the child
and for the mother with the
child in her care will be lost if
application for the benefits is
made before the end Of January
1858, because payments can 90
back for as many as Il months
before the month in which an
application is made.
In my. next article, l shall
describe provisions in the new
law as they affect people who
