Demos Ask More
Security Benefits
WASHINGTON t AP t — House
Democratic leaders have decided
on a surprise push to provide many
millions of dollars in additional
social security benefits for women
and disabled persons.
The most important point in the
program, to be launched soon in
the House Ways and Means com
mittee, would lower the age at
which women become eligible for
benefits, from 65 to either 60 or 62.
This not only would enable mil
lions of working women to retire
earlier, but it also would increase
initial benefits 50 per cent for
couples where the husband retires
at 65 with a dependent wife several
years younger.
The second feature of the new
move to further liberalize social
security would provide immediate
monthly payments when a worker \
becomes disabled. He has to wait
until he reaches retirement age at
65 to benefit from the program
now.

Democrats on the Ways and
Means committee are working out
details of these and other possible
changes, and hope to bring them
to the House floors in June. Until
recently there had been virtually
no talk of any social security legis
lation at this session of Congress.
Last year Congress passed Pres
ident Eisenhower's request for a
general increase in benefits all
along the line. The Democratic
move could be aimed at offsetting
to some extent whatever political
advantage the Republicans may
claim from that action.
Many Complaints
There long have been complaints
about the 65-year age rules for
women, A widow, for example,
gets benefits as long as she has
children under 18. but then gets
no farther payments until she
reaches 65.
The argument has been that this
leaves a gap in the social security
program at a time when help
might be sorely needed.
Some sponsors of a lower re
tirement age for women have con
tended that worKlng women natur
ally tend to retire earlier than
men. and that they often need to
do so.
The sewellel, commonly called
the mountain beaver, is not a bea
ver at all. Neither is it a typical
mountain beaver. Native to the
western coast of the United
States, this small rodent has no
living relatives but is the last sur
vivor of a primitive race of ro
dents.

Evangelist Gives
Special Service
To Royal Family
WINDSOR. England (AIM
! U.S. evangelist Billy Graham
preached to Queen Elizabeth
Monday in a toyal chapel. The
Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen
Mother and Princess Margaret
also heard the American minis
ter.
Later Graham and his wife
lunched with the Queen.
The sermon to the royal fam
ily was a surprise climax to the
handsome evangelist's seven
week Scotland-England crusade,
which reaped more than 77,000
“decisions for Christ.”
The fact that the 36-year-old
North Carolina preacher was in
vited to conduct a private serv
ice for royalty could not help but
lift his prestige already ut a
high tide in Britain.
Queen Elizabeth is titular head
of the Church of England and
“defender of the faith.” Graham
is an ordained Southern Baptist
minister but he has always been
at. pains -to emphasize an inter
denominational approach in his
crusades.
Graham preached in the pri
vate chapel at Royal Lodge
Windsor, near Windsor Castle,
where the Queen and duke are in
residence. The Queen and duke
drove to Royal Lodge, leaving
their children at the castle.
Graham was to leave for Edin
burg Sunday night to attend a
general assembly of the Church
of Scotland.
Senate Takes Step
In Case of Disaster
WASHINGTON 1AP1 The
Senate Thursday approved 76-3
a constitutional amendment
which would allow temporary ap
pointment of House members if
half of the House membership
were wiped out in an atomic at
tack or other disaster. State gov
ernors would make the appoint
ments.
At present. House vacancies
.can be filled only by elections.
A similar proposal to amend
the Constitution was approved
by the Senate in the last Con
gress but the House took no ac
tion on it.
If the House approves the new
proposal, offered by Sen. Kefau
ver (D-Tenn), it would then be
submitted to the states. It would
become effective jf approved by
three-fourths of the states.
