Catholic Leader Seeks
New Belgian Cabinet
BY the Associated Press

BRUSSELS. Belgium, July %
Vice Premier CASTOR Eyskens. a
Social Christian, said tonight he
has accepted an invitation by Re-
gent Prince Charles to try to form
a new Belgian government.
Two other members of Mr..
Eyskens' conservative Catholic
Party. Franz van Cauwelaert and
Paul van Iceland, previously
failed in efforts to form cabinets
which could obtain majority
backing in Parliament.
Mr.. Eyskens made it clear he
would try to form a coalition of
Socialists, Catholics and Liberals.
Because of a deadlock on the royal
question, Belgium has been with
out proper government since the
June 26 elections. The Socialist
Catholic coalition cabinet of So
cialist Premier Paul Henri -Spaak
resigned, but is taking care of
things until its successor is named.
The Social Christians, who cam
paigned for a referendum on the
return of King Leopold III from
exile and an end to the regency,
won the largest number of seats.
but failed to get a majority in the
Chamber of Deputies.

History of Pensions.
OF 297 persons receiving a
monthly retirement check. the
survey said, lin 38 cases the pen
sion was so small it had to be
commuted to a lump sum. I.
That lump sum averaged $3l0
The average commuted pension
was $2.58 per month" The book
let declared:
THE history of pensions in the
United States Steel Corp. is his
tory of steady retrogression from
the brave beginners of Andrew
Carnegie "a pioneer steelman
whose steel interests are now part
of aUnited States Steel"
Amendments tackled onto the
original plan have made it only
a shadow and that shadow bill
in the not far distant future
become wholly invisible
The union contended the pen
sion payable is continuously de-
clining" because it hinges. in part
on length of service before l94o
and because it is reduced as So
cial security payments rise.
THE net corporation pension,
therefore, is being reduced by the
operation of both these factors

7oupee StyIist Does Rushing Business
By ChorIes J. Yorbrouqh

Samuel Lidoff, who once cur
ried the snarls out of Sarah Bern
hardts wigs, can do the same for
almost any one in Washington
and often does.
The Russian born Mr.. Lidoff
has never claimed he can make
hair grow on bald pate, but he
can fashion toupees and trans
formations that will make, other
people think it does.
Ethical to the point where he
would rather give up his owner
ship of Hepner's Hair Emporium,
6l2 Thirteenth street NV, than
to divulge identity of the person
under one of his custom toupees,
Russian-born Mr.. Lidoff is going
into his 48th year of making
people think other people have
hair.
He declines to 60 into the
mass psychology of the business:
Whether man is vainer about his
bald spot than he was 10 years
ago. He just knows that the
toupee business is fourishing more
now than ever before.
Left Russian Home at 13.
Samuel Lidoff. who had loi-
tered about the theaters in Kiev,
Russia. long enough to pick up an
interest in hair-doing, ran away
from home and his silversmith
father when he was 13 years old.
Then he got a job combing the
immortal Bernhardt's stage wigs.
Afraid to return home, he found
himself in New York by 1904 and
began a career of hair-dressing
and wig-making that has taken
him through Notwithstanding for
stage greats to artificial creations
for the annual stage cavortings of
the Annapolis midshipmen.
His start:
The veteran actor, Nat Good
win, walked into the shop where
young Mr.. Lldott was plllng up
hair and courage. Actor Goodwin
was bald. With his courage, Mr..
Lidof meekly suggested that he
get a lightweight toupee.
Throw that fresh young man
out of here" the actor demanded.
Actor Then Caught Cold.
Later. Actor Goodwin caught
cold and a doctor prescribed a
cap, but he reappeared at the
shop in New York where Mr..
Lidoff worked and ventured under
his first toupee.
And I made the last one he had
before he died" says the business
like Mr.. Lidof.
Almost 62 now. he can pile up
memories of the Ziegfeld days. of
Lillian Russell and Billie Burke.

Pension Plan Would
Cost 6.15c Per Hour
By the Associoied Press

PITTSBURGH, July %. - The
CIO United Steelworkers charged
today that best wishes are all the
bulk of United States Steel Corp.
employees can expect in the way
of pensions.
The union disclosed details of
its demands for a $3.50 monthly
pension upon voluntary retirement

cost about 615 cents per hour
per employe. after tax savings and
"other economies" The union also
disclosed it's insurance program
demand would cost the corpora
ton 4.84 cents, or a total of 1899
cents. In addition, the union seeks
an unspecified general wage in
crease from United States Steel
and other steel companies.
A booklet entitled Pension Plan
and Social Insurance Documents, !"
prepared for use in contract nego-
tiations, said:
Based on Survey.
The sole reward to which en-
ployes of the United States Steel
Corp. can now look forward to
in return for a lifetime of service
is letter expressing a hope for
the best of health and that re
tirement years will be many and
enjoyable'-only that and nothing
more. A healthy. enjoyable and
long retirement is hardly possible
on the incomes available to the
retired employees of United States
Steel"
The booklet is based on a sur
vey made by Murray Latimer, in

SteelS present pension plan aver
ages less than $6 a month and
that pensions will disappear for
