CHICAGO (UPD—At the back
of a bar in an Irish
neighborhood on Chl c a g o’s
South Side is a fresh new sign
which reads, “Support Mayor
Daley and The Chicago Police.”
Such spontaneous hometown
support may warm the heart of
Chicago’s suddenly controver
sial mayor. But it Is not likely
to do much for three guys
named Humphrey, Shapiro and
Clark.
There is a growing trepidation
among Democratic chieftains in
Illinois that many of the same
people who are praising Daley
and his police department’s riot
control are planning to cast
their votes Nov. 5 for Richard
M. Nixon, or even George C.
Wallace, rather than Daley’s
man, Hubert H. Humphrey.

Social Security
Early Inquiry
Speeds Payments
Two of the smartest things you
can do to help get your Social
Security checks started without
delay is to Inquire early and
make your claim early.
Call and find out what you will
need to do when you make your
claim. After you have checked to
find out what you will need, se
cure the evidence and visit your
Social Security office two or
three months before you retire.

Rebellion Spells Trouble For Democrats
These two steps will save you
time and get your checks star
ted without delay.
Q. If I receive widow’s bene
fits and remarry, will my bene
fits terminate? D. 8., Griffin.
A. Termination of benefits de
pends upon the widow’s age at
the time of the remarriage. A
widow who remarries after age
GO will continue to receive bene
fit checks as a widow, although
the amount of her check may
change. A widow who remarries
while under age 60 will no long
er be eligible to receive widow’s
benefit. As long as her remarri
age exists, she cannot become
re-entitled to benefits on the
deceased husband's account.
Q. We recently hired a yard
man at our home who is about
65 years old. He says that he
is already drawing Social Sec
urity checks and that I am not
supposed to withhold Social Sec
urity tax from his pay. Is he ri
ght? D.W., Griffin.
A. No. Earnings In or around a
private home must be reported
anytime they are SSO or more
per calendar quarter. The age of
the employee doesn’t matter.

be, it has to be bad news for
Samuel H. Shapiro and William
G. Clark, the entries on the
Democratic ticket for governor
and senator.
As far as the people of
Chicago—perhaps the people of
Illinois—are concerned, Daley’s
personal standing probably was
not hurt by the spectacle of
police battling young demon
strators during the Democratic
National Convention. His popu
larity may have even increased.
But it is unlikely that Daley can
transfer his reinforced law and
order image to the men who
need it—the candidates his
usually peerless Chicago ma
chine are supposed to pull to
victory in Illinois.
The big question in Illinois, in
fact, is whether Daley’s ma
chine has the stuff this year to
deliver even Chicago for the
Democratic headliners.
There are a variety of alarm
signals indicating the machine
and the state party are in deep
trouble.
Alley Cats
It is one of the axioms of
Illinois politics, for instance,
that the Democrats fight each
other like alley cats in the
warmup stages of a campaign
and then unite behind the
leadership of Daley and his
handpicked candidates for the
home stretch.
Coincidentally, Illinois Repub
licans have been prone to
squabble with each other in the
early going and to keep on
disliking each other, in public or
just behind the scenes, right up
to election day and beyond.
This year, the traditional
patterns of behavior seemed
reversed.
The Republicans had a
dingdong gubernatorial primary
which left many party members
seething over the winner,
for Household Employees.
Q. I was 65 on March 23, 1968
and I signed up for Medicare in
January, 1968.1 had a large doc
tor bill before March 23. Are
these expenses covered under
Medicare? A.T., Griffin.
A. Yes. Your Medicare becom
es effective with the first day of
the month you are 65, provided
you have met all requirements,
such as: age and filing a claim
for Medicare enrollment.
Q. I had $35 in X-ray work
done in my doctor’s office. I un
derstand the law was chang
ed last year and this is a 100 per
cent reimbursable expense. V. 8.,
Griffin.
A. Only if the study was
done while you were an in-pat
ient in a certified hospital. Out
patient radiology treatment is
subject to the SSO deductible.
Q. My daughter was receiving
Social Security benefits from
her father’s Social Security ac
count. She married in June and
her checks were stopped. Since
she is a full-time student and
not yet age 22, why can’t she
keep getting her checks? 1.0.,
Griffin.
A. Marriage of a child receiv
ing Social Security checks ends
that child's entitlement regard
less of school attendance.
If you have a question about
social security or Medicare, wr

tration at 435 West Solomon st

Mexico Guard T ight For Games
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
Roadblocks and military em
placements guarding the way to
Mexico City’s Olympic Games
Stadium are significant of a
challenge to vested Mexican
authority going far beyond the
mere interruption of an athletic
contest.
The Mexicans have spent $l5O
million in preparations for the
games and understandably wish
them to be a success.
Their success is threatened by
spreading antigovernment
student unrest that began last
July as a rather ordinary clash
between rival student groups

attack on Mexico’s whole
economic, political and social
structure.
On its side, the government
headed by President Gustavo
Diaz Ordaz and the ruling
institutional revolutionary party
have reacted sharply against
what they regard as attempted
subversion and a threat to more
than 50 years of economic and
social gains since the revolution
of 1910.

Vietnam. The Illinois attorney
general unveiled himself as an
unexpected dove and broke
ranks at the convention by
endorsing Sen. George S.
McGovern. Perhaps as a result,
Daley kept Clark guessing until
the last minute whether he
would turn up at a fund-raising
banquet this month. When the
mayor finally showed, he was
one of the few in the crowd
without a dinner jacket, and he
left early to attend a wake.

Stevenson, bearer of an illus

party “feudalistic” and said the
convention uproars had made
Chicago "scorned by thinking

In Mexico City, more than

Chicago jugernaut in top
operating form could not save
Illinois’ 26 electoral votes—
fourth fattest package among
the states—for the Democrats
in 1968.
The law and order issue
draws a deep welt in Illinois—
among Chicagoans frightened
by riot in the Negro ghettoes,
among downstaters alarmed
that big city crime and civil
dissent may spread their way.
The convention riots, Daley’s
toughness notwithstanding, irri
tated the unease.
Wallace, without hardly even
trying, has been the chief
beneficiary of this concern over
the state of society In Illinois.
The full extent of his support at
this point is incalculable, but
some informal samplings in
Chicago working class areas
have shown him trailing only
Nixon, with Humphrey eating
dust.
All entries must be made with
in the last year or completed
within the last year. Only artic
les made with needles, such as
knitting, crocheting, sewing, etc.,
will be accepted for display.
Two grand champion prizes
will be awarded in the adult div
ision. One will be given In the
clothing division and the other in
the piecework division.
Two prizes also will be award
ed in the junior division, which
includes elementary and high
school students.
The needleworK will be dis
played in an enlarged glassed
in, dust-proof booth. It is in the
center of the main building and
can be seen from either side.
Further information is avail
able from Mrs. Roddy at 227-3659
or Mrs. Sharp at 227-5455.
