Social Security

After many tries during the
years Congress has passed a.
mendments to the social secur-
ity law which 1iberalize the
protection afforded disabled
workers and their dependents.
Under the 1861 amendents,
approximately 250,000 people
disabled workers under so years
of age and certain of their de-
pendents are now eligible for
social security benefits. Until
now, only those disabled work
ers between so and IS and their
dependents were eligible for the
monthly social security pay
mentS.
Younger disabled workers are
more likely to have families
dependent on them than older
workers age so or over. Before
the change in the social security
law, many of them were depend
ent upon public assistance pay
ments which are financed out
of general tax funds.
If you are under so and have
already had your social security
record frozen, you will receive
letter explaining the new bene-
fits and what you need to do
about getting them for yourself
and your dependents. Do not get
in touch with your social secur-
ity office at this time. It will
only delay the district office in
taking action to get checks to
you and others who are eligible
for payments under the new
law.
Benefits for disabled persons
under so and their families can
start with the month of Novem-
Der, 1850.

CHRISTMAS
SEAL
CAMPAIGN

A goal Of $4,000 for the 1850
Christmas Seal campaign was
announced today by DR.. Walter
c. Bornmeier, general chairman
for Chicago and Cook County.
The campaign will open Nov.
IA and extend through Dec.
This Christmas Seal campaign
will be the 54th annual drive
to raise funds to fight tubercu-
losis in this area. It is conducted
by The Tuberculosis Institute
Of Chicago and Cook County,
local Christmas Seal agency af-
filiated to the National Tuber-
culosis Association. During the
1859 campaign gifts from Chi
cago and Cook County residents
totaled $819, 1893.
Funds are used for the detec.
ton of TB cases, education of
the public to the dangers of TB,
medical research and the reha-
Utilization of patients with tu-
berculosis. The case detection
program Of the Institute carried
on In cooperation with official,
tax supported agencies, gives
free chest X-rays to more than

conducts tuberculin testing OF
school children.
Medical research projects in
three local universities and in

Activities At Community
High School

The most successful member
ship campaign in many years
was opened by the Community
High School Parent Faculty AS
sociation in its initial meeting
on Monday, September 10.
Mrs. Elmer Schwartz, mem
bership chairman of the District
218 Parent Faculty Association
Blue Island announced that al
most $850.00 was received in
membership dues. This would
account for LOO members, as
the names of both parents are
listed on each membership card.
So heavily did the member
ships pour in that Mrs. Schwartz
is still compiling the record re-
suits of the first meeting. Above
all, she wanted to give outstand-
ing credit to four membership
committee helpers, each one rep
resenting one of the buildings
of the District 218 schools. The
ladies, including Mrs. Clarence
Bolden, the Southwest Building
representative; Mrs. r o b ert
Friske, Campus Building; Mrs.
Leroy Sauerbier, Old Main; and
Mrs. Eugene VanHook, North
west, had in turn many willing
workers who added to the big
turn out for the first meeting.
Their campaign to ask parents
to join by mail was in itself
responsible for almost $4,000,
which would represent 800 MEM
bers.
While the PA usually draws
it's heaviest membership from
parents Of beginning freshmen,
this year the membership COM
mittee was especially delighted
to note that there was 100 per
cent increase in junior and sem
Tor parents over the membership
fom these classes as Of last year.

moral stand taken on many is
sues in international affairs over
the past decade or more, such as
the American reputation of the
Suez invasion of 1856, appear to
have been gravely compromised
in the worlds eyes as result of
the U-2 incident.
Diplomats and newsmen in
Paris for the summit talks were
predicting yesterday that only a
moderate attitude on Mr.. Khru-
shchev's part can save the confer
ence from speedy collapse. Mr..
Eisenhower, they reason, cannot
at this stage submit to direct
attacks or threats by the Russian
leader. Some hint of the Khru-
shchev mood was seen in his re-
marks at the Paris airport when
his plane arrived yesterday. He
told the welcoming crowd that
certain military interests" were
maneuvering to intensity the cold
war. Without mentioning the U-2
affair directly, the Soviet leader
was nevertheless repeating Mos

the incident. most of it to the
disadvantage of the United States.
The wires and cables connect
ing the capitals of the world were
loaded with formal protests last
week in the wake of the U-2 cap
ture. The Soviet Union protested
in a stern note to Washington
that the espionage flight violated
all the rules of international
conduct. The note warned that
"retaliatory measures" would be
taken if such flights are repeated.
Moscow also sent sharp warn
ings to Turkey, where the U-2
was based; Pakistan, where the
spy flight allegedly began; and
to Norway, where it had been
scheduled to end. On Friday, Nor
way protested strongly to the
United States against the use of
its airf1elds by American planes
engaged in espionage against
neighboring nations. Norwegian
bases used by NATO aircraft, the
note said, are provided only with
the clear and definite condition
that they will not be so used.

leaders that his country would
also protest to the United States
if a check showed that the spy
plane had begun its fight at
Peshawar, as alleged by Mr..
Khrushchev.
Thus the long-a summit
conference opens tomorrow in an
atmosphere of resentment, dis
trust, and outright hostility even
among the Western allies. For the
record, the French President and
the British Prime Minister have
said nothing about the spy plane
affair. But the comment of foreign
officials. diplomats and the press
has been almost universally criti-
cal of the American handling of
the situation. Such criticism
was especially bitter about Mr..
Herter's remark, backed by the
President later, that such espio-
mage fights would continue.

American delegate, James j. Wads-
worth, submitted a three stage
plan providing that fully opera

six years of a test ban treaty

mildly to the proposal and prom

Optimism persists that the Ge-
neva confereeS will succeed. in
their search for an effective test

are indications of trouble. France
has made it clear that she will
have no part of any ban unless
the nuclear nations abolish their
stockpiles and cease manufacture
of atomic weapons. The United
States over week ago, even be-
fore the spy plane furor had
reached its crescendo, announced
that testing underground would
be resumed this year. But Presi-
dent Eisenhower, at his press con-
ference Wednesday. stressed that
the underground tests would not
be of weapons, but of blast effects
on geological formations.

The Admission

The State Departments admis-
sion of the nature and purpose
of the U-2 flight was unprece-
dented in the long annals of
espionage, an art practiced un-
doubtedly in the pristine caves of
Neanderthal man. Diplomats of
the old school, in Washington and
other capitals were aghast at the
frank disclosure of United States
espionage operations which in
cluded penetration" of the Soviet
borders. Traditionally, a cap
tured spy is disowned by his en-
ployer; no one had ever heard
of him under any circumstances.
Mr.. KhruShchev arrived in
Paris yesterday, a full day ahead
of his opposite numbers. He meets
with Gen. de Gaulle in a private
talk this morning, and the French
President was reported peady to
urge the Soviet leader to soft
pedal his resentment over the spy
plane affair. Predictions were be-
ing made freely that bristling
attitude on Mr.. Khrushchev's part
would send Mr.. Eisenhower back
to Washington and spell total
failure for the summit conference.

The Triton:

The nuclear powered sub

When the huge submarine Triton
surfaced at last in American
waters, she had Travelled $4,000

TIE WEEK IN PERSPECTVE
May Blizzard on Eve Of the Summit

Tomorrow the heads Of-state
of the Soviet Union, the United
States, Britain and France will
sit down together in the Elysee
Palace, President de Gaulle's Of
cial residence, for the long
awaited summit conference.
An international springtime that
had held considerable promise Of
warm, balmy days was abruptly
chilled last week end. A specially
designed aircraft, an alert Soviet
anti-air rocket battery, and sew
eral statements by governments
and by statesmen combined to pro-
duce the effect of a May blizzard

President Eisenhower, Soviet
Premier Khrushchev, French
President de Gaulle and British
Prime Minister Macmillan will
greet each other tomorrow morn
ing across a specially designed
table at the French Presidents
elaborate residence. But much of
the preparatory work they have
succeeded in accomplishing during
the last year has been undone by
the flight of a single plane, flown
admittedly for intelligence pur-
poses by an American pilot and
brought down near Sverdlovsk, in
the Russian Urals, repeatedly by a
Soviet rocket.
Yet the eXacerbated, suddenly
inf1amed surface of the sensitive
Southwestern relations has not
discouraged many diplomats who
continue to place great hopes in
the achievements of the summit.
These men of optimistic views in
sist that basic conditions have not
changed, that both the Soviet side
and the West sincerely seek a de-
tente, and that the incident of the
spy plane serves only to strengthen
the hand of Mr.. Khrushchev in
his poker game with his colleagues
of the West.

The Farley Lineup

On Friday, Secretary of State
Herter arrived in Paris for a round
OF preparatory pre-summit talks
with his British and French COL
leagues, Mr.. Selwyn Lloyd of the
United Kingdom and Mr.. Couve
de MuTville of France. With
them, yesterday and today, was
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
West Germany and his Foreign
Minister, Heinrich Won Brentano.
Mr.. Adenauer will not be at the
summit table, but his views most
assuredly will; the position of the
German Federal Republic on the
issues certain to come up at the
summit meeting is conceded to be
most important if not dominating.
Almost certainly. there has
never in the history of the mod
ern world been so unusual a dip
lomatic g gathering as the one
meeting tomorrow in the ElySee
Palace. To begin with. it is a
meeting of heads-of state rather
than of professional diplomats.
Even the famous Congress of
Vienna in 1914, which was at
tended by all the chiefs-of- state
concerned in a gorgeous pageant
and panoply of royal and imperial
grandeur, was in its significant
deliberations conducted by pro-
fessional diplomats. Not so this
spring at Paris.
And Mr.. Khrushchev will greet
Mr.. Eisenhower with a Siberian
chip on his left shoulder. In
Moscow's Gorky Park there is an
exhibit of items recovered from
the American intelligence plane
shot down, the Russians say, over
Sverdlovsk, some 1900 miles in
side the Soviet borders. The pilot
of the U-2 aircraft, Francis G.
Powers, is held by Soviet au-
thorities and faces a trial as a
spy. The United States last
Saturday admitted the fight, its
purpose, and its part in an over
all program of aerial surveillance
of the Soviet Unions military and
air bases and missile launching
sites.

The Test Bon:
A Recess

At Geneva, the three-natiOn
conference on ending the test
ing of nuclear weapons recessed
Thursday for the duration of
the summit meeting.
For the past 18 months the
three nuclear powers of the world
(excluding France, which has Just
raped on the club door with two
test blasts in the Sahara) have
been inching very slowly toward
an acceptable, controlled pan on
nuclear weapons testing. They
have made enough progress, OBJ
servers say. to make a test ban

Paris can chart the way by agree
ing on satisfactory controls.

Senator Kennedy won a
smashing upset victory over
Senator Humphrey in the West
Virginia Democratic primary on
Tuesday.
The total of the interpreta-
tions of Senator Kennedy's vic
tory in West Virginia was as
impressive as the total of the
votes cast for him.
When the size of the tide in
his favor was apparent early
Wednesday morning Senator
Humphrey eliminated himself not
only from that race but from
any pursuit of the Democratic
presidential nomination this year.
But the important thing was
that Senator Kennedy eliminated
not just that particular rival but
that he eliminated the idea that
Roman Catholic could not carry
a predominantly Protestant State.
His victory was by a 3-to-2 mar
gin but the exact figures have
long since ceased to matter.
Counting went on for days.
Senator Kennedy'S campaign
had received a boost in the Wis
consin primary but there he polled
slightly over 56 per cent of the
vote and had to share the credit
with the fact that Wisconsin is
about 80 per cent Catholic. This
is we'll above the national average
of % per cent.
So, Kennedy hackers placed
greatest Importance on his ability
to win in West Virginia and they
fought hard for the Mountain
State in an expensive campaign.
The Senator and his family threw
in all their energy and attention
in a wall-to-wall coverage of the
State.
They won - and handsomely.
But what did it actually show?
. 1t showed that Senator Ken
nedy could beat Senator Hum
phrey.
There was a bit of a sting
in that cynical, Washington in
depreciation. 1t is true that of
the Democratic possibilities Sem
ator Humphreys name always
came near the bottom of the list.
But he was the only opponent
available in West Virginia.
. 1t showed that Protestants will
vote for a Catholic candidate-in
great numbers.
West Virginia is a border State
and there wasn't as much, anti
Catholic sentiment as outsiders
expected. But it was equally true
that there is suspicion of reli-
gious prejudice in other States
such as Kansas, Iowa and Indiana

ing West Virginia) but still wasn't

Foreign Aid:
Clipped

Congress completed action Of
the Mutual Security Act last
week and sent ii to the White
House. The measure authorized
some SS8 million less than the
White House had requested, and
further sharp slaSheS are pre-
dicted when the actual apprO-
priation bill is acted upon.
Chairman FulDright of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee
has an abiding faith in the value
to the United States of aid to un-
derdeveloped nations. Last week
he warned that the practice Of
voting annually on authorization
and appropriations for foreign aid
reduced its effectiveness very
greatly" The annual battle, he
pointed out. invariably resulted
in yearly Auditors of "adminis-
trative strings and conditions Of
one kind or another"
This years authorization, sent
to the White House Thursday, ap-
proved $1,366, 100000 for the pro-
gram. This authorization adds
that amount to $2,720,10O, GOO au-
thorized last year and held over.
But the actual amount appropri-
ated is virtually certain to be
considerably less than the amount
authorized.
In effect. the authorization bill
merely sets a maximum limit, a
ceiling, on foreign aid expendi-
lures. The limit voted last week
was 88,700,0C0 less than President
Eisenhower had requested.

C0stro'sC Cuba.


Cuba's Premier Fidel Castro,
in another televisiOn diatribe
against the United States, on
Friday charged that an Ameri-
can submarine had violated
Cuban territorial waters.
Attired in his familiar army
fatigueS, his beard quivering with
rage, Fidel Castro once again Fri
day lashed out in an hours-Iong
monologue against his favorite
neighbor, the United States. This
time he accused the United States
Navy of conducting some vaguely
clandestine operation, without
lights "as in wartime, against
the Cuban coast.
A Cuban Coast Guard vessel.
he declared, had fired upon an
American submarine with ma
chine guns on May 10 off Ma
tanzas. He also charged that the
United States cruiser Norfolk, also
IN blackout, had sailed within 2h
miles of Cayo Blanco, a tiny key
about rs miles from Havana.
The American Navy, said the
fiery Cuban "deliverer", seemed
to be engaged in some sort of or
ganized assault on the Cuban
coasts. But he did not spell out
what he thought the assault
might be. Since the references to
the United States Navy were
linked with furious comments on
the American Navy base at Guam
tanamo, however, many observers
predicted a new Castro effort to
force American naval forces out
of the treaty baAe An Cubas
