day pleaded guilty in connection
with a sl37, 900 shortage at Epis-
Icopal Eye. Ear and Throat

Sudduth had been Ill and under
heavy emotional pressure since
her indictment last autumn.
Because of her physical and
mental condition, he continued

6. G. P. Accord
Held Assured
Eisenhower Action
.Averts SquobbIe
BY GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower's willing
ness to stand for reelection has
a three-pronged effect.
/. 1t settles the question of the
1856 Republican presidential
nomination. 1t eliminates a
knock down. drag-out contest at
the party's national convention
in San Francisco next August
provided the President stays well.
2. 1t enhances Republican pros
poets for victory. Public opinion
tests have proved the tremendous
personal popularity of the
President.
3. 1t epresses Democratic
chances in the coming election,
and it may affect materially the
race for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination.
Struggle Could pevelop
If for any reasoh President
Eisenhower is impelled to with
draw later from the presidential
race the Republicans will be
faced with mad scramble for
the nomination, unless party
leaders and the President himself
can control the national conven-
ton. A terrific struggle could
develop between the so-called
Eisenhower Republicans and the
old Taft Republicans for party
control.
A major decision for the
Republicans still remains to be
made-the vice presidential NOM
nation. 1t is generally conceded
that President Eisenhower's
wishes will settle this one. He
has repeatedly expressed his re-
spect. admiration and affection
for Vice President Nixon. There

At the same time, Judge
Grooms denied the petition BY
the defense to have the 10

granted separate trials and to
have their cases decided by a
jury.
In asking the court to drop the
charges Of conspiracy and cum

Self Employed In
Social Security
Set-up Is Altered

For taxable years after 1855,
persons who work for themselves
alone or in partnership = as law
yers. dentists, chirophactors, veter-
inarians, naturopaths, osteopaths,
and optometrists, started building
old-age and survivors insurance
protection for themselves and their
families on the same basis as self
employed persons previously COW
cred by the law. 1t is estimated
that about 100000 professional
people are affected by this chan
&c in the social security law.
Lawyers make up the largest
number of these newly-covered
self-employed professionals. AS
long as 1948, it was estimated
that 40 900 out of the probably
10000 lawyers in the United
States were self-employed. Most
of them are already familiar with
the insurance provisions of social
security. They have had accession
to observe and study it in connect

ance is not sufficient to pay for it.
Could this allowance be raised?
A-Yes. The monthly allowance
may be increased to cover the
costs of restorative training. But
your sons SO months of entitle-
ment would be reduced by one day
for each $3.50 in excess of the
basic monthly allowance of $110.
Q-I understand that veterans
no longer will be able to obtain
KOREAN CT term insurance after
December 81, 1856. What about
special CT insurance for disabled
veterans? Does the deadline apply
to them, too?
A-No. December 81, 1856,
marks the deadline only for OBJ
tanning Korean CT term insurance
for able-bodied veterans. Service
diabled veterans still will have the
right to get special CT policies af-
ter that date.

ion with the affairs of their clients.
Moreover, because of the close re-
lationship between legal practice
and fields such as business man.
agement, real estate, finance, and
politics, many lawyers had moved
into other lines of work covered by
social security before 1856. A great
many of them came under social
security as employees OF other
lawyers, others acquired military
wage credits under social security
during active service with the
Armed Forces. In fact, it is esti-
mated that at least 309o of all
presently self-employed lawyers, at
one time or another, have accumu-
lated some earnings credits under
the old-age and survivors insuran-
ce program To these lawyers, in
particular, the extension of cover
age is of marked Importance. The
Social security credits they have
built up would have steadily de-
clined in benefit value in the years
ahead; in the case of many young
lawyers. they would eventually
have disappeared altogether.
Also brought under social sec
urity as of January /, 1856, are
an estimated $4,000 dentists act
lively engaged in private practice.
This protection should be of spec
ial Importance to young dentist
who is head of a family. Because
of the length of time required to
complete his professional training,
his earning capacity in many cases
does not commence as early in life
as that of the average non-profess-
ional individual. Moreover, in
starting his practice, he must fur
nish his office with expensive
equipment and thereafter go
a period of low income before he
is able to realize a reasonable re-
turn from his practice. If he has
wife and family, he is in need
of the survivorship protection Soc
ial security affords to a young
widow and minor children during
those years.
