Information On
Social Security
BY Luther N. Davis

Some people may have been
disturbed recently by published
reports alleging that the old-age
and survivors insurance program
was running into financial trou-
BILE. I can assure you that the
program is financially sound and
that there will be enough money
to pay all future benefits, and |
think that the facts about how
the syste mis- financed will show
you that this is true.
WHERE THE MONEY COMES
FROM - The old-age and sur
vivors insurance program is fin

and their employers, and the

Wutch On The
POTOMAC
by
Robt. G. Spivack

THE NEW EISENHOWER =
The newspapermen who waited
in the long dark corridor out
side the Presidents press con-
ference room in the Old State
Dept. Building were talking
among themselves and making
side bets. The topic naturally
was Little Rock.
The betting was on whether
Ike would stand firm when the
questions began or would he
back away from the tough deci-
sion he had made vis-a-vis fed
eral troops and strict enforce
ment of the high courts integra-
ton order.
The betting favored a back
down.
That had been the pattern dur
ing all the years of McCarthyism
and even on the tangled Dixon
Yates contract. In a showdown,
the boys were saying, Ike had no
stomach for a real fight even
with a midget like Faubus.
This was one day after the
Eisenhower Manifesto" on inte-
grafton. Many reporters figured
he didn't know what was in it
or that he could not, for that
matter, explain exactly why he
had turned down the Faubus'
deal with the Southern Cover
IfOrS.
It's pleasant to be able to re-
port that nearly everyone in the
press corps was wrong. Ike
stood his ground. It was new
Eisenhower for Washington; it
was very much in the image of
the old Gen. Eisenhower who
beat the Nazis to a pulp.
1t wasn't an argumentative
Eisenhower who talked to the
newsmen. He did not like send
ing troops.
mo one can deplore more
than I do the sending of Federal
troops anywhere" he said mat
ter of-factly.
'It is not good for the troops;
it is not good for the locality; it
is not really American, except as
! it becomes absolutely necessary
for the support of the institutions
that are vital to our form OF
government
Later someone asked whether
The White House could not
supply more leadership in strai-
ghtening out the integration-se-
creation mess? The President
did not have too much to say on
this point, except that he indi-
Gated it was time for the Sou
thern extremists to begin using
little restraint.
"Now, the leadership of the
White House can be exercised
only, as I see it, through giving
the convictions of the President
and exhorting citizens to remem-
Der America as well as their own
private prejudices," he said.
WHAT MAKES IKE MAD =
Only once during the entire press
conference did the familiar
Eisenhower temper flare up. One
newsman wanted to know If, in
stead of allowing things to drift,
The White House might have
acted sooner to head off the
crisis?
81 am astonished how many
people know exactly what the
President of the United States
should do" Ike snapped.
Goodwill, he then went on as
