sOUEAK1NG SPRINGS.

From C. r. H., Washington)
Never saw a remedy for the
squeaking bed springs. Mine was
squeaking so that I was thinking of
getting new ones, and then one day
I replaced a broken caster (Which
had been waiting two or three
months for friend husband to do)
and low and behold the squeaks are
gone. Is your bed level?

From Mrs. D. L. IT,, Arlington.)
Can some kind reader advise me
how to remove grease stains made
by people leaning their heads
against plaster tinted wall? 1t is
light cream in color and although
I have tried all sorts OF soaps, pow
ders and even cleanser the spots
remain.
Would also love to have recipe

Would like to suggest the use OF
a thermos bottle for excess coffee

but cuts down on the coffee bill.

Jinnah Charges Gandhi
'Sabotages' Indian Plan
By the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, June 28.-Moslenn
League President Mohammed Ali
Jinnah declared today that Mohan-
das Gandhi had been expressing
views calculated to sabotage" the
Mountbatten plan for partition of
India In its application to the north
west frontier province.
Jinnah said Gandhi had told the
Congress party that he accepted the
plan Of the viceroy, Viscount Mount
batten, for the division of India be-
tween Moslem Pakistan and Hin
dastan and asserted that the Hindu
leaders recent statements were con-
trary to that acceptance.
A referendum is to be held in the
northwest frontier province. next
month to determine whether 1t will
join Pakistan or Hindustan.
Jinnah's statement said Gandhi
had encouraged the demand for the
frontier provinces independence and
termed that demand "insidious and
spurious.
Since the Mountbatten plan was
announced, the frontier province
premier, DR.. Khan Sahib, has been
demanding a Pathan free state and
Gandhi has commented favorably
on that demand.

BY the Assoeiofed Press

PARIS, June 28.-Robert LaCoste,

Ford Pension viii Le'
S1OO-a-Monfh MAJ,
Retire al Half Pay
sy The Assoe;S,ed Pres,

DETROIT, June %. Richard T.
Leonard OF the CIo United Auto
Workers estimated today that the
Ford Motor Co. pension plan would
enable a s2oo-a-month production
worker to retire at half pay after
80 years.
Mr.. Leonard, vice president of the
#UAW-CIO and director of its Ford
department, revealed major details
of the pension plan, the first OF
its kind in major automotive pro-
ducing plant.
The tentative pension agreement,
announced Friday, supplements a
7-cent hourly wage boost granted
10000 Ford production workers.
Mr.. Leonard estimated that 95 per
cent of these employees are eligible
to participate in the pension plan
from its outset. The remainder
would become eligible after an un-
specified number of months with
the firm.
Age Between IS and 65.
He said retirement age had moi
been agreed upon but probably
would be set between IS and 65.
"A Ford worker earning $500 8
month would contribute about
$1,000 in 80 years and would receive
500 a month at retirement" Mr.
Leonard asserted. IF the same
worker were to purchase an indivi.
dual annuity to pay him $55 8
month for life it would cost him
about $4,000"
The average Ford worker, with
the 7-cent increase, would make
about $1461a an hour, or about
1894 per month on the basis of q
full 40-hour week.
Federal Social Security was taken
into account by Mr.. Leonard In
figuring the eventual pension pay
ments.
Provisions Cited.
The company did not comment on
the working OF the pension plan
Mr.. Leonard said it provides the
following:
l. On retirement, each Ford
worker will receive l per cent of his
pay times the number of years serv-
ice, in addition to Federal Social
Security. The same credit will be
given for past as we'll as future
service, building up pension fund
for workers already employed fol
many years.
2. In the even of death, all en-
pioye contributions, plus interest
will be payable to the employees
beneficiary.
3. Each worker will have "full
vested rights in his contribution and
partial vested rights in that of the
company"
The plan, retroactive to last JAN
uary l, would become effective with
the signing Of the proposed agree.
ment, which must be ratified by
Ford's UAW-CIO employees.
The union estimated that the
pension plan would cost Ford $780,.
100000 the first year and 5000 ,o0t
annually thereafter.
