Washington (U.R) Presi

his reelection campaign will in
clude as much speechmaking as
necessary to make his adminis

fully clear to the American peo

uniform age at which payments
could start for all beneficiaries
other than children and wives or
widows with children in their
care. The age was 65. It remains
63 for male beneficiaries. The
1B56 amendments to the law,

women can receive benefits. Be

Nixon Flies to
Father's Bedside;
Condition Worsens
Washington (U.PJ Vice
President Richard M. Nixon left
today by plane for the bedside
of his critically ill father in
California.
Nixon broke off his Labor day
week end vacationing at Man-
. toloking, N. J., Thursday night
when doctors attending his 77-
year-old father said he might not
live more than another 48 hours.
The vice president hurriedly
left his vacation retreat by car
without an escort and drove
through much of the night to
the capital.
Suffering Artery Rupture
His father Frank Nixon
has been suffering from an ab
dominal artery rupture since
last week.
The vice president turned his
back on the Republican Nation
al convention in San Francisco
to fly to his father's bedside
after he was stricken. But the
vice president's renomination ap
peared to be a tonic for the ail
ing man and he rallied. The
sudden improvement enabled the
vice president to return to San
Francisco to accept the nomina
tion in person.
Bally Temporary
But the rally was only tem
porary and the elder Nixon's
condition has steadily worsened.
"He appears to be nearing
death," a physician told the
United Press in Los Angeles.
The vice president'first learned
his father was failing rapidly
after he had completed 18 holes
of golf Thursday with his friend.
Evangelist Billy Graham. Doc
tors attending the elder Nixon
advised his son to come to his
father's bedside as soon as pos
sible and indicated the father
might not live more than 48
hours.

But he declined to rule out the
possibility that he might make

areas where Republican candi
dates need help.
Might Remove 'ic
In reply to other political
questions, Mr. Eisenhower told
reporters: 1
1. If his political opponents
Explained
pendent mothers, may begin
getting survivors benefit pay
ments when they reach age 62.
They will get the same monthly
benefit that they would have
started to get at age 65 under
the old law.
Wives of retired insured work
ers and retired insured working
women can, if they choose, start
getting benefit payments at age
62. However, the monthly benefit
amount payable to them will be
somewhat less than the amounts
of the benefits they would have
received had they waited until
age 65.
Reduction Continues
In case a wife or an insured
working woman elects to start
getting benefits before age 6o,
she will continue to receive a
reduced amount after she reaches
that age. The longer a woman
waits after reaching age 62 and
before age 65 to start getting
payments, the less the reduction
in the amount of the monthly
benefit. As stated before, how
ever; once she starts getting
monthly payments at a reduced
rate, she cannot later qualify
for the full amount.
An example might be a woman
who has been employed in work
covered by social security long
enough to become insured. As
sume that her full monthly bene
fit amount, based on her average
earnings in covered work, is
$78.00. If she waits until she
reaches age 65 to retire, she will
get that full amount every month
from then on. But she will reach
62 in November, 1956. If sh?
decides to retire then, she gets
old-age payments starting with
November.
80 Per Cent
The f mount she will receive
will be 80 per cent of the month
ly amount she would receive if
she waited until she reached 65.
This will be $62.40 monthly in
stead of $78.00 per month. If she
waits until she is 63 to start
getting retirement payments her
benefit amount will be $67.60
monthly. Every year, and every
month within a year in which she
benefits up to age 65, will in
crease her benefit amount
slightly.
The above example applies
also to the wife of a retired in
sured worker receiving benefits.
In her case, however, the amount
of the monthly benefit she would
get, if she chose to claim pay
ments at age 62, would be 75 per
cent of what she would get if
she waited until she reached age
65.
Payments Larger
As in the case of the woman
worker, the wife's monthly pay
ments will be a little larger each
month she defers claiming bene
fits after her 62nd birthday and
before she reaches 65. However,
if her retired insured husband
should die at any time after she
has begun to receive her re
duced benefits she will begin re
ceiving full widow's benefits plus
the lump-sum death payment
Now that the starting age for
women-beneficiaries is 62 instead
of 65, less time in work covered
by social security may be
quired in some cases for a woman
worker to become insured. Gen
erally, the required time is one
half the time elapsing after 1950
up to the time she reaches age
62 instead of age 65, with a mini
mum of at least Vi years of cov
ered work. Under the amended
law, a person who works con
tinuously after 1955 can become
insured with fewer quarters of
coverage
Insured status for women work
ers is important not only to those
now 62 or nearing that age, but
also to certain survivors (de
pendent children, widowers, or
parents) of some women work
ers who reached age 65 or died
after June 30, 1954, without
having enough covered work to
be insured under the old law. If
they had enough work to be in
sured under the amended law,
they or their survivors may be
able to qualify for benefit payments.

cratic party, he feels that is their

that he might on the spur of the

to make campaign appearances

by the AFL-CIO Executive
Board's endorsement of Demo
cratic presidential candidate
Adlai E. Stevenson. But he
pointed out that the AFL and
CIO separately endorsed his op
ponent in 1952.
Some Republicans Concerned
A reporter told Mr. Eisenhow
er that some Republicans across
the nation have been concerned
by reports that he planned to
wage a "high level campaign."
The newsmen said these Repub
licans fear a repitition of 'the
1943 GOP "catastrophe."
Mr. Eisenhower replied em
phatically that he will not be
guilty of any lack of candor in
bringing out in his campaign
every important issue as he sees
it.
He says he is not going to in
dulge in petty name calling be
cause he doesn't believe in it,
but he is determined to make
forcefully clear to the American
people that the administration
has attempted to carry out every
promise it has ever made and
will do so in the future. '

WHO IS ELVIS PRESLEY?
Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) John
Fell Stevenson, son of Demo
cratic presidential nominee Ad
lai E. Stevenson, was asked at
a conference of Southern Demo
crats Thursday if he licked rock-n-roll
singer Elvis Presley..
"Who?" Stevenson replied.
"Elvis Presley," said the re
porter. "I've never met him."
Stevenson Convinced
Democrats Gaining
Strength Over Nation
Chicago OJ.R) Adlai E. Ste
venson, just back from a 5,000
mile barnstorming trip which
convinced him Democrats "are
gaining very rapidly," huddles
today with party leaders from
five Midwestern states.
The Democratic standard bear
er will first talk to a conven
tion of postal workers and then
meet with party chiefs from In
diana. Michigan, Missouri Ohio
and Illinois.
It was the fifth such parley
in five days. Stevenson and his
running mate, Sen. Estes Ke
fauver left here Monday by air
and returned from their hectic
trip late Thursday night.
Sees Strong Party Current
Stevenson told Democrats at
his last stop, Knoxville, Tenn.,
that he noted "a very strong
Democratic current running in
the land."
The presidential candidate
said this trend had been "gain
ing very rapidly in the last six
months," and was evidenced in
the "enthusiasm" shown by
Democrats who attended this
week's pre-campaign meetings. ,
Washington Pension Union Held
Communist Front in Cain Ruling
Washington (U.R) Former
Sen. Harry P. Cain, in his last
act as a member of the Sub
versive Activities Control Board,
today held that the-Washington
State pension union is a Com
munist front.
The Washington Republican,
who steps down from the SACB
Saturday, recommended that the
full board rule that the group is
manipulated by Moscow and
order it to register with the at
torney general.
Cain's ruling closed a strange
political drama highlighted by
two turnabouts first by Cain
himself and then by Attorney
General Herbert Brbwnell Jr.
During his Senate term, Cain
was regarded as an ultra-conservative,
and as such, was chal
lenged by the pension union on
the ground that he would not
give it a fair hearing.
Brownell rushed to Cain's de
fense, and the SACB threw out
the union's . motion that Cain be
disqualified.
Turns - Security Critic
' But shortly after, Cain turned
into a sharp and vocal critic of
the workings of the administra
tion's loyalty-security program.
For this, he aroused the enmity
of power administration figures,
including Brownell, and he was
not reappointed to the SACB by
the President. According to Cain,
he received "unshirted hell"
from Presidential Assistant Sher
man Adams for his criticisms of
the security program.
While later Hearings on the
pension union still were in pro
gress in Seattle, the attorney
Stevenson said he believed
"the trend will prevail" and he
will win in November. But he
added, "We still have a lot to
do."
When Stevenson arrived at
Midway airport here, he was
asked about a current political
problem in his home state re
placing Herbert F. Paschen as
candidate for governor.
May Discuss Matter
Stevenson said he had "no
choice" about the successor to
Paschen, who resigned when an
employee fund in his county
treasurer's office came under in
vestigation. But Stevenson admitted that
he probably would talk about
the matter today with Chicago
Mayor Richard J. Daley, who is
chairman of the powerful Cook
county party organization. Da
ley was also chajrman of today's
regional party conference.
After today's strategy huddle,
Stevenson scheduled a news'
conference- his first full-dress
meeting with the press since be
fore he became the presidential
nominee. . -
rrlday, August SI, ISSt
general's representative asked
to introduce "new evidence" that
Cain should be disqualified be
cause of bias.
The pension union this time
rushed to his defense and argued
Brownell's action was "hypoc
risy." Counsel for.the union said
that the union was satisfied it
would receive a fair" hearing
from Cain.
Again the SACB refused to re
move Cain from the case.
Original Aims Called Good
In his decision today, Cain
said that the aims of the union
were good in the beginning, but
that "early in its existence it
was infiltrated by the Commu
nist Party."
He said the result was that the
union "is managed, directed and
supervised by leaders, the large
majority of whom are function
aries and representatives of the
Communist Party."
Cain charged the union, which
