Lady Luck Strikes Mr. Kappel; Hartke

By SENATOR VANCE HARTKE Lady Luck smiled un a Fort Wayne man the other day, and as a result Mr. and Mrs. William J. Kappel came to Washington for a White House ceremony, met the President and will appear in news and magazine pictures all over the. nation. It I all came about because Mr. Kappel happened to be the twenty millionth beneficiary to begin receiving Social' Security checks. I was privileged to attend die ceremony and meet the Kapp* who are quite typical of millions now on the retirement rolls. Mr Kappel reached the age of 65 on March 13. For 42 years he has worked for City Utilities, retiring ...t meter repair man and tester. His Social Security check will be $123 each month as long as he lives while Mrs. Kappel, at 63, will receive $53.40 a month, a total of $176 40. Her amount would be $61.50, ’ half her husband s benefit if she were 65 oi had chosen to wait until she I reached that age. Their Washington ■ trip was thein first- t nation's capital Mr Kappel's union, the Inter- ( national Brotherhood of Electrical i < Workers, and his company will ea. h ] pay him shall pensions for his life- ; and he will' have .$1,200 com- ; mg from the company for unused va j 4 (•«.;. and - ck-leave time. Whik Mr. Kappel was being hon- , ©red as the- twenty millionth beneficiary to draw Social Security, the very first person to receive such payment' was still receiving a check | the th.rd day of every month. Mi" Ida Fuller of Ludlow. Vt., is now 91 year' old Her first check reached her more than 25 years ago, for the mot th of January. 1940_ The 155 a month 'he receives, plus savings income and rent from part- of her house, allows her to live in d gnity in r home town. . ’ ■ About sl7 billion went to Social St . ity l>encfic:-aries last: year. The average for a retired worker and his wife was sl3l, for a single retired v ;k : $74, tor a widow S6B. All of them,, along with the disabled and those receiving child benefits, will get a 7 raise dating back to January i when we pass the bill we are now working on. Retired beneficiaries over 65 will also get medical care bents t- starting in.Julv, 1966, under the b 11 - ‘ I. What a wonderful help this is to t : It is ine the difficulties so many would , have if Social Security were not there , dp To Mr. Kappel. congratula-| r>« ing the twentieth milfionth 'was hick, .but getting these checks every month is not—we\ planned- the sV'tom that way, and we can make ! it . even better. .

Lewis F. N’icolini. director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said i-kI-V tii.-it prelirmnary estimates in-' dicate that 1.580.100 persons were at work in nonagricultural jobs nt the middle of last month, compared to 1.5551200 in March and 1,510,200 in April 1964. Both nonmanufacturing and manufacturing industries added workers between March and April. Most of the gain in manufacturing emplovment was in durable goods irdustries- Expanding of outdoor work with April’s warmer weather and the addition of employees in. retail trade for the Easter season combined to increase nonmanufact- I uring employment. Total employment showed no lasting effect of the April 11 ■ tornadoes altixMigh many business establishments were forced to shut down for periods vary.ng from one to four days because of storm damace or power shortage. Mr N’icolini said unemployment decreased by about 9.000 last month and was down to an estimated 56. 800. -
