Batisfa Called in Probe
OF Pension Fund SHORTAGE
by the Assoeioted Press

! HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. GA Ha-
vana court conducting an inquiry
into $50 million shortage in the
sugar workers pension fund today
summoned former President Full
gencio Batista to appear befort it.
The fund was created during
Batista's 1904 term as presi-
dent. He and three officials of his
administration were accused of
responsibility in the shortage.
Batista could not be reached to-
night for comment on the case.
The court is making a prelimi-
nary investigation. The date for
Batista's appearance before it is
still to be fixed.
Senator Eddie Chibas, a fiery
radio orator, made the charge
some months ago that the pen
sion fund had all but disappeared.
Both Chibas and Batista are anti
government candidates for the
presidency in the 1852 election.

WORTH 1T Retirement ex-
perts say that, generally speaking,
the career employe in Government
is much better off under the Civil
Service retirement system. Any
move to combine the system with
Social Security would be disas-
trous, with possible loss of pres
ent retirement benefits, they say.
They urge that any changes,
such as greater survivor protec-
ton benefits for widows and fam
llles OF younger employees, be ac-
complished by separate legisla-
tlon. and not by combining the
Civil Service system with Social
Security.
One official summed it up this
way: IF Congress keeps hearing
complaints from Federal employees
about how wonderful Social Sc
curity is compared with their own
retirement system. then Congress
might be tempted to junk the
Civil Service retirement program
and bring everybody under So
cial Security. And that would be
a sad day for Federal employees" 4"

First, the Government tempo
rary employees were brought under
the Social Security system by
Congress. At the time the law
was passed there weren't many
of these workers. But the ma
tional emergency has resulted in
the hiring of tens of thousands
of new Government workers, all
of them on temporary indefi-
mite basis.
Secondly, Congress at the same
time liberaliZed considerably So
cial Security benefits for the Ma
tion's wage earners.
All this has heightened the
comparison by Federal employees
of Civil Service retirement bene-
fits versus Social Security bene-
fits.
The liberalization of Social Sc
curity benefits undoubtedly makes
one of its features more liberal
than Civil Service retirement
privileges. This is in the case of
Federal employees who die after
only a few years of Government
service. Their families will re-
ceive considerably smaller surviv-
or insurance benefits than the
families of workers in private in
dustry.
Also, elderly employees who work
for only a few years before re-
tirement are better off under So
cial Security than under Civil
Service retirement benefits.
And the Governments newly
hired temporary workers will re-
ceive more for their money under
Social Security.
But as far as career employees
are concerned. the Civil Service
retirement system generally is
much more liberal than Social
Security.
NEW BENEFITS - However,
employe groups are anxious to
liberalize the Governments retire
ment system in order to secure
greater survivor annuity benefits
for families of employees who die
after a comparatively brief period
of service in Government.
It's expected that a number of
members of Congress. including
some in the House and Senate
Civil Service Committees, will
sponsor bills to this effect.
After Is or more years OF serv-
ice, Federal employees families
actually get greater survivor bene-
fits than families under Social
Security. It's the younger Gov
ernment workers whose families
do not receive as much protection
as those under Social Security
benefits. Social Security offers
about twice the amount of sur
vivor benefits to families of work
ers with Is fewer productive years
before death.
However. from that point on,
the Civil Service retirement sys-
tenn offers greater benefits. En-
ployes retiring at the age of so
or 81 receive an average of more
than twice the benefits of workers
covered by Social Security. Also.
survivor benefits to widows of de-
ceased workers stop under Social
Security when children reach the
age of Is, while under Civil Serv-
ice benefits the widow receives an
annuity for the rest of her life
provided she does not re-marry.
OF course, employees under the
Civil Service retirement system
pay 6 per cent of their entire sal
aries for their benefits, while So
cial Security workers at present

British Papers Urge
Definite Statement on
Macarthur Plans
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Two of Lon.
don's large Sunday newspapers
said tonight the British public was
bewildered by the turn of events
in Korea. They demanded an au-
thoritative statement on what lies
in store for Gen. Macarthur
United Nations forces.
The papers. the Sunday Pic
torial and News of the World, said
an analysis of the position of Gen
MacArthurs' troops could be made
without revealing vital secrets to
the Communists.
The reaction of the two Sunday
papers. with a combined circula-
ton throughout Britain of more
than 1875 million. closely followed
the tabloid Daily Mirrors editorial
opinion that the British public
was being deluded by inaccurate
and sometimes fantastic informa-
tion from Gen. MacArthur's COM
mand.
Address Prime Ministers.
In bold type on it's first page,
the Sunday Pictorial said:
The Commonwealth Prime Min
listers now assembled in London
represent one of the most power
full and important bodies of ma
tionS in the world today,
They should demand from
Washington, or from United Ma
tions headquarters. firm declara-
ton of what MacArthur's plan is,
and whether it is being prosecuted
successfully.
Having obtained it, they should
issue a definite statement not, OF
course, revealing the military
secrets of the situation.
If the news is reassuring it will
put new heart into the fighting
forces, and to those of us who wait.
IF the news is bad, We can
take it"
'Is This a Private War;"
The Pictorial, independent paper |
which usually supports the Labor
government, asked in its banner
headline: "Is This a Private War;"
1t said: "In Britain there is no
official source from which au-
thentic news of the war in Korea |
can be obtained. Even the War
Office appears to be in the dark"
The paper said lack of informa-
tion makes the British public won-
der whether this is a private
fight or whether it is, as it should
be, a United Nations affair in
which Britain is partner"
Further, the paper said Gen.
MacArthur's master plan seems
to be as much a mystery to Wash
ington as it is to London"
High-Level Statement Asked.
A more restrained editorial in
News of the World, also an inde-
pendent paper. said:
"A responsible and authoritative
statement at the highest level
should be made to the British
public without delay on the pres
ent happenings in Korea"
The paper pointed out that, al
though the United States is carry
ing the bulk of the military bur-
den, Britain has more than 10000
men fighting in Korea. 1t added:
In comparison with our re-
sources and other commitments
we have made a contribution Sec
ond to none.
"At home throughout the land,
families of these 10000 men are
now deeply anxious. And the whole
nation about to be called upon to
make new sacrifices in the inter-
ests of peace can hardly respond
to the call in total ignorance of
all true facts :"
