Social Security News

Johnny is an energetic 6th grader who contracted measles last year. Complications arose that resulted in permanent blindness. Cheryl fell down a flight of stairs when she was nine months old. She lay in a coma for three days and today she has permanent brain damage. Fred was involved in a motorcycle accident at age 17. Now he is paralyzed from the waist down. Mildred’s mother had a difficult pregnancy and delivery. This resulted in Mildred being retarded at birth. She did not walk until age 2!4. These young people have permanent physical or mental damage that occurred early in childhood. These children may remain dependent on their parents for the rest of their lives. The parents find it necessary to ren-

der special personal attention to their children. Recognizing that severly disabled children are dependent on their parents even during later adult years, social security has established two benefits that will provide income to disabled children for as long as their disability exists. One benefit is known as disabled adult child’s benefits. If a retired, disabled, or deceased worker qualifies for social security, his unmarried child, disabled before age 22. will also qualify. The other benefit is known as supplemental security income. If a child’s disability is severe enough, and both he and his parents have little or no income or resources, the child may be eligible for supplemental securityincome payments. Social security does not consider the parent’s income if the

Trial In Chile Ends In Death Sentence

by ROBERT D-OHMAS Associated Press H'riter SANTIAGO. Chile (API The largest trial in Chile's history has ended with death sentences for the former head of the state bank and three air force men. Prison sentences ranging from 300 days to life also were ordered Tuesday for 56 other alleged supporters of the late President Salvador Allende. Three defendants were acquitted. The court-martial panel of six air force officers sentenced Carlos Lazo. 46. Col. Ernesto Galaz Guzman. 46: Capt. Raul Vergara. 31. and Sgt. Belarmino Constanzo. 43. to death b\ firing squad. Lazo was convicted of treason and espionage: the air force men were convicted of treason and sedition. Ten of the 63 defendants were civilians and the rest were air force officers or enlisted men. The charges against them ranged from possesion of Marxist literature to high treason. Many were linked to Plan Z. an alleged plot by militant leftists to murder military officers and anti-Communist politicians to pave the way for a Marxist dictatorship. The death sentences are subject to review by Gen. Augusto Pinochet, chief of state and president of the military junta that overthrew Allende last September. Foreign ambassadors were reported urging clemency. Scores of secret military trials have been held throughout the country since the coup, and at least 96 persons were shot after being sentenced by summary courts. No executions have been reported since January, and international legal observers and newsmen were allowed to attend the mass trial that began April 17 and ended June 5. The military prosecutor asked aaaauuuus life sentence for but the court overruled him and gave him the death penalty. It rejected the prosecutor’s request for death sentences for three other air force men and sentenced them to prison terms of three years to life. The only woman defendant, Maria Teresa Wedeles. 23, received the 300-day sentence. Shegave birth to a baby girl w^le in the women’s prison.

Miss Wedeles was convicted of destroying the official papers of ex-Sen. Eric Schnake. a member of Allende’s Socialist party , who was sentenced to 20 years. Another mass trial is under way in Temuco. 500 miles south of Santiago. It is the second trial for 23 persons accused of being extremists of the Revolut i o n a r y Leftist Movement (MIR). They were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 60 days to 10 years, but a new trial was ordered because they had not been permitted to consult attorneys, the military prosecutor said. Still awaiting trial are the most important members of Allende's administration caught by the junta, including ex-For-eign Minister Clodomiro Almeyda and Communist party head Luis Corvalan.

House Debate On Impeachment Slated To Start In Two Weeks

WHO’S WHO IN GEORGIA ATLANTA (AP) - With 17 candidates for governor and 12 running for lieutenant governor in Georgia this summer, even the candidates are having a problem remembering who's who. State Rep. George Busbee, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, was busy hand-shaking at a convention of broadcasters. ‘ What station are you with?" Busbee asked one man. “Station? I’m running against you for governor,” the man replied.

fly JOH\ BECKLER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP)-With House debate on the impeachment question due to start in two weeks, some leading congressmen representing both parties and various political philosophies say President Nixon’s chances are poor. Rep John M Ashbrook, ROhio, a leading House conservative who supports impeachment, said Wednesday he expects the House to vote to impeach Nixon by nearly a 3-1 margin. House Republican Whip Leslie Arends, generally considered the Republican congressional leader closest to Nixon, said of Nixon's chances of avoiding impeachment: “I would not tell him it looks good.” House Democratic Leader Thomas P. O’Neill predicted more than 75 per cent of the House members will vote to impeach the President. O'Neill said no firm counts have been taken but said his discussions with members indicate no more than 38 of the 248 House Democrats and fewer than 80 of the 187 Republicans will support the President on impeachment. Rep. Joe D. Waggonner, DLa., a strong Nixon supporter, thinks even fewer than 38

Democrats will vote against impeachment, O’Neill said And the leader of the unsuccessful Nixon defense in the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Charles Wiggins. R-Calif., said, “At the moment, 1 would have to say the odds are that the House would pass them (the articles of impeachment).’' The statements came as the House prepared for debate on the three impeachment articles approved by the Judiciary Committee. A number of procedural matters have to be settled, such as the length of time for debate, whether the proceedings in the House chamber will be televised and whether the committee’s articles will be open for amendment. Meanwhile, there were these related developments: —O’Neill, a close friend of Vice President Gerald R Ford, said Ford is well aware of the possibility that Nixon will be removed from office. That step would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate after a majorits vote in the House to impeach the President. —White House aide Patrick J. Buchanan said the White House was keeping open the option of essentially giving up a fight in the House in order to expedite Senate action. However, a number of House mem-

bers said this would amount to a cop-out. —Two senators on a panel studying impeachment rules said they oppose a strict definition of what would be required to convict Nixon in a Senate trial. Sens. Robert C. Byrd. DW.Va., and James Allen, DAla., said each senator would make his own judgments by his own standards. —Sen. Joseph Montoya, DN.M.,said Nixon should not use public money for his own defense in a Senate impeachment trial. Montoya, chairman of a Senate subcommittee reviewing W'hite House budgets, said, "I would not want the President to use one nickel of the money for the White House in this bill for his own defense.” —Nixon’s Watergate attorney. James D. St. Clair, disclosed that more than five minutes are missing from White House tapes of a Watergate conversation between the President and two close advisers. House Speaker Carl Albert met with Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter W. Rodino Jr.. D-N.J., to discuss the procedural questions, but no decisions were reported. Rodino said he wanted to talk matters over with other committee members. The 10 Republican members who voted against impeach-

ment held a meeting of their own to plan defense moves, and later met with House Republican Leader John J. Rhodes. Rhodes, who says he remains undecided how to vote on impeachment. is meeting regularly with groups of Republicans to find out where they stand. W'iggms said the antiimpeachment forces are trying to assure that whatever debate procedures are adopted will provide a fair opportunity for their side to be heard They also are working on a minority report ihat will accompany the committee’s report in support of the three articles of impeachment, which charge Nixon with obstruction of justice, abuse of his powers and defiance of committee subpoenas. In preparation for the debate, both sides on the committee are assigning members to study specific aspects of the case, with the outnumbered Wiggins group turning to noncommittee members for help. As soon as the report is ready, which is expected to be next Wednesday. Rodino will go before the Rules Committee and request a resolution setting a time limit on debate and defining whai kind of amendments. if anv. will be in order

Most committee Democrats would like to prevent amendments to the three articles that have been approved, limiting members to motions to strike whole articles or sections of them, or to proposing additional articles. The approach favored bv the antiimpeachment Republicans is just the opposite I hev would like any further articles barred and the existing ones open for amendment.
