Many Local People
Receiving Benefits
From Social Security
In Jackson and Josephine
counties at the end of 1954, 3,113
retired workers were receiving
$172,616 in" monthly social se
curity payments, according to
figures released by W.' V. Nus
baum, Sociel Security Adminis
tration district manager in Med
ford. In addition to the retired wor
kers themselves, 2,027 people
were receiving $71,288 a month
as dependants of aged workers
or as survivors of those who had
died.
Of those receiving old-age in
surance benefits, 826 had wives
or husbands who were entitled
to payments as dependants. Ben
efits to wives and aged depend
dent husbands amounted to $24,
189 per month.
Children Benefit
Children made up a large
group of beneficiaries; 786 were
receiving $28,977 in benefits at
the end of the year. Most of these
were children of younger work
ers who had died, but some were
children of retired workers.
If their father has died and
children receiving benefits are
in the care of their mother, the
mother also receives benefits. In
the two counties 107 mothers re
ceived $4,830 per month at the
end of 1954.
A total of $13,292 a month
went to 308 aged widows and
aged widowers and parents of de
ceased workers.
These local figures for old-age
and survivors insurance pay
ments reflect a national trend,
JMusbaum pointed out. In the
country as a whole, there were
6,886,480 "people receiving bene
bit payments at the end of 1954
nearly 1,000,000 more than in
December, 1953.
Stress Importance
Nusbaum stressed the impor
tance of these benefits as the
greatest of ten, the only source of
income to many of the familie
who received them. "Two out of
three people now reaching age
65 can qualify for old-age and
survivors insurance benefits,"
he said, "and nine out of ten
mothers and children in the
country are assured of survivors
benefits in case of the death of
the family breadwinner."
Money to pay these benefits
come from the Old-Age and Sur-

Dissenters Needed,
Warren Declares in
LaFollefte Tribute
Madison, Wis. (U.R) Chief
Justice Earl Warren has called
for more "dissenters" and men
who aren't afraid to be called
radical.
Mr. Warren made the plea for
independent minds yesterday as
he spoke at the centennial cele
bration of the birthday of the
late Robert M. LaFollete Sr.,
fiery founder of the Progressive
movement.
The Chief Justice called La
Follette "preeminently a dis
senter a dissenter in the finest
sense of the word," and said
America still has need of such
dissent.
Must Test Actions
" It is as important now as it
was then; we must test all of our
public actions by dissent," he
said. "The majority does not al
ways discover the right answer
until it is so tested."
Mr. Warren led the tribute to
"Fighting Bob" LaFollete, the
controversial senator from Wis
consin who won nearly five mil
lion votes when he ran for the j
presidency On a third party .tick-!
et in 1924-. . I
About 50 of LaFollette's old
followers . in the , Progressive
movement, together with his son,
former Wisconsin Gov. Phil La
Follettte, joined Mr. Warren in
a pilgrimage to "Old Bob's"
birthplace at nearby Primrose,
Wis.
LaFollette, Mr. Warren said
later, "did not dissent through
mere obstinacy. He dissented in
righteous indignation when he
thought the objectives of our
government were being sub
verted." Was Called Radical
The Wisconsin statesman was
called a "dangerousradical," the
Chief Justice said, for advocat
ing direct election of U. S. sen-'
ators, tariff revision, control of
monopolies and trusts, pri
maries, and laws to protect labor
and civil liberties.
The program has -long since
been accepted, Mr. Warren said,
but "there are those who still be
live.it is radical and long for
the so-called 'good old days'."
"There are still those who
would still call it- socialism;,
those who refuse to make a dis
tinction between socialism and
social progress; those who Lin
coln described as unable to dis
tinguish a horse chestnut from
a chestnut horse," Mr. Warren
said.
Family Offering
$25,000 Reward for
Prominent Couple
West Palm Beach, Fla (U.R)
The family of Judge and Mrs.
C. E. Chillingworth offered a
$25,000 reward today for the
safe return of the prominent
couple, feared kidnaped and
possibly slain.
The offer announced last night
brought to $43,000 the total re
ward posted in the disappear
ance of the judge and his wife.
Blood Found
The wealthy, respected couple
vanished from their ocean front
cottage in Manalapan, Fla., last
Tuesday night. Splotches of
blood, a smashed outdoor flood
light, two rolls of partly used
surgical tape and footprints
were the only clues.
Sheriff John Kirk expressed
pessimism over chances of find
ing the couple or the persons
responsible for their disappear
ance after a "hot" lead which
developed over the week end
"didn't pan out."
Contact Man Chosen
The Rev. Harry A. Waller of
the First Methodist church was
chosen by the family to act as
contact man in the event pos
sible kidnapers wish to deliver
ransom notes.
During his regular service yes
terday, Rev. Waller interrupted
his sermon to appeal for any in
formation about the case. He
asked that informants call or
write.
