SECURITY FOR YOU
SECURITY FOR YOU
Reflections of Benefits
For DisobiIityHit49%

You've got plenty of company
If your application for social
security disability benefits has
been rejected.
1t happened to about half the
people who had applied by
June /. Four of five Of these
reflections were because they
were not disabled enough to
qualify for benefits under the
social security law. The others
could not meet other require
ments. such as not having
worked under social security
long enough.
In supplying this information,
Arthur Hess. the Chief of the
Social Security disability pro-
gram said it did not include
data on applications for dis
abled children's benefits. Nor
did it include information about
a backlog Of applications that
had not been judged by June l.
Mr.. Hess backed up his infor-
nation with these figures:
Since the disability program
started. about 100000 applica-
tons had been considered by
June /. OF these. 48.8 per cent
or 244,000 had been turned
down. The reflections for failure
to meet the disability require
ments was 80 per cent.
The figures include applica-
tons both for disability pay
ments and for the disability
freeze. The requirements for
both are identical.
But Mr.. Hess softened the
rejection figures with this:
About one out Of every 20
reJections have later been re-
versed after disabled person
has asked to have his rejec-
ton reconsidered.
He gave these figures on re-
considerations;
About one out Of six persons

Martin P.-My wife and !
have been married 10 years and
have four children. We've had
our ups and downs with i'll
nesses and money problems,
just the same we could be a
lot happier than we've been If
she'd stop being such a blab-
ber-mouth.
Lucy is the type who goes
running to the telephone to
tell her whole family and all
her friends about anything
that Is on her mind at the
moment. These things get
around and sometimes run
into people in business who
seem to know more about me
and my troubles than I do.
Sometimes think that Lucy
is deliberately trying to talk
me down. I've made plenty OF
mistakes, ! know. I haven't
given Lucy an easy time Of it,
but does everyone have to
know?
Lucy P.-Martin hasn't told
about half the trouble we've
had. We are in debt, but he
still lets people take advan-
tage of him. He doesn't have
a good business head. but he
refuses to quit business and
take a job. He has no conf
dence in himself, but he won't
go to others for help.
When Martin comes and tells
me about his different prob
lens, 1 don't know what to tell
him because I don't know about
these things. I go to people
who know more about it and
are able to advise us. I have
received a lot of useful advice
but Martin refuses to take 1t
AS for Martins accusation
that I Try to talk him down,
that's ridiculous. I love him
very much and want everybody
to think the world of him, as
do. That's why it hurts me
when he gets into a mess.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The sad truth here is that
both Martin and Lucy are
largely right in their COM
plants. If the fault were one
sided. it would be relatively
easy to get the person at fault
to mend his ways. But both
are deeply at fault. and mend
ing things will not be easy.
Martin has had his ups and
downs and has not given Lucy

haps q dozen other unknowns.
Already there have been en-
couraging preliminary results,
says DR.. Iselin. who is a men,
Der of the United States tech
nical panel on oceanography
The program really has been
under way since March when
the Woods Hole floating re-
search laboratory, the Atlantis.
and the British Oceanography
Institutes ship Discovery met
at Bermuda.
The two ships worked along
the outer edge Of the Blake
Plateau, an underSea elevated
area east of Charleston. 1t was
known from previous deep water
temperature and salinity meas
urements made by the Atlantis,
DR.. Iselin says, that in this area
the deep water flow, whatever
| its direction, was forced well
I to the east of the swift and
much shallower Florida current
by the plateau.
While the Atlantis measured
the deep temperature and sa-

as two miles apart, the Discov-
cry tracked the bouyant floats
drifting with the water at pre-
selected leveleS. Below 8.40C
feet a float was found moving
southwestward. in the opposite
direction from the Gulf Stream
at about eight miles a day
This is probably the first OF
the undersea rivers to be def
nitely located. Theory indicates
that several others must exist

body knows whether 1t takes
100 years or 10000 years for
deep water to travel from the
Antarctic UP to the Equator
and back again"
8 Reasons for Interest
There are three reasons, the
report points out, why the
problem is Of particular in
terest:
First, the deep currents may
be Of great importance in Ions
range weather forecaSting
particularly because Of the ex-
change of water between the
Antarctic and low ATTITUDES.
Second, the fertility of the
ocean depends on the water ex-
change between the deeps and
the surface. The amount OF
fish and other foods we can gel
out Of the ocean is finally
limited by the rate at which
the ocean overturns, and
thereby fertilizes itself.
Third, development Of peace
full uses Of atomic energy will
probably result in the produc-
ton Of unbelievable quantities
OF radioactive substances and
somehow these must be safely
disposed Of. One possible
thing is TO do with them is to
dump them in the sea. The
ocean is a very great hole in
the ground and its currents
might spread out radioactive
substances to such an extent
that they would be harmless
Whether this would be possible
or not depends on how fast
the deep water moves and how
it mixes with waters near the
lsurface."

have the rejection reconsidered.
OF those reconsidAred about 80
per cent on the second go
around have had their appli-
cations accepted.
Mr.. Hess said the bulk Of the
reverSals were a result of the
Social Security peoples getting
information that was not sup
piled when the applications
were first filed.
If your application has been
turned down and you feel you
can provide additional evidence
on your disability, you should
ask to have your case recon-
sidered.
You may find the Social
Security people accepting your
application on the second try.
For example: Suppose as
part of your application you
neglected to include informa-
ton about being hospitalized
for your disability from time
to time. You should have a
talk with your Social Security
Office to see whether this in
formation would have a bear
ing on your right to disability
payments or a disability freeze
Or. suppose you feel that the
doctor who examined you did
not include all the necessary
information about your dis
ability on your application
You should talk with the Social
Security people to see whether
your case is complete.
The important thing in prov
ing your right to disability
payments is the evidence sup
piled to the Social Security
people. They have only what

1t is useless to argue which
one Of these two committed the

they are now caught up in a
vicious cycle of recrimination

that we're not at all sure we

We do suggest, however, that
martin and Lucy face the facts.
They have four children in
common, still have some respect
and love for each other. They
can improve their lives If
each one is willing to forget
about the others faults and
concentrate on remedying his

Suppose Martin, instead OF
resenting Lucy's "blabbing,
were to ask her what Mr.. So

lem. 1t might possibly have
the effect of inducing her to
be more cautious about talk
ing too freely to outsiders.
Lucy, on the other hand,
should stop nagging Martin to
quit trying to be self-employed
and to surrender to a job. When
she does that, she attacks his
self confidence and self-respect.

Such figures and statistics and

ford good education for our youth?
Or better put, perhaps, is the
question of whether or not we can
afford not to provide a good edu-
cation for our youth. The answer
to these questions may well be de-
termined by our sense of values.
If we are willing to spend three
times as much of our yearly in

our children, or if our Federal

quality and competence of the
