|Pipefitter McN0m0ro to Bring
"A Frank Sincerity to Senate
By David Koonce

Politicians laughed when the
pipefitter sat down to politics.
But Pipefitter Patrick ". Me-
Namara had the last laugh.
Mr.. Mcnamara, D Democrat,
unseated the veteran Senator
Homer Ferguson. Republican. of
Michigan. in 9 major upset on
November 2.
Mr.. Mcnamara wasn't exactly
welcomed BY his party's powers
that-be when he announced he
would be q candidate In the
Democratic primary against for
mer Senator Blair Moody. who
had the blessings Of Coy. G,
Mennen Williams and the CIO,
both powerful forces In the
Michigan Democratic party. Mr.,
Mcnamara, virtually q political
unknown. entered, he said, be-
cause he didn't think the candi-
dates ought to be ''hand-picked. :
He didn't have q chance, they
said. And even II he just hap
pened to take the primary, II
was preposterous to suggest that
he could defeat Senator Fergu-
son.
Moody's Death.
But Mr.. Moody died unexpect-
edly shortly before the primary,
aad Mr.. McNamara became the
candidate. The Republicans were
so certain of victory that Presi-
dent Eisenhower didn't bother
to telephone q single voter In
Michigan.
Mr.. Mcnamara took Senator
Ferguson by $4,000 votes In q
total of 81 million.
Campaigning to the tune Of
'McNamara's Bard" he ham,
mered away at the unemploy-
ment problem. (There were 20O,-
900 idle workers In the Detroit
area alone.) The new Atomic
Energy Act wasn't q giveaway,
he said--it was q "$l2 billion
throwaway." Further. the Taft
Hartley Act ought to be re-
pealed ('.I wouldn't 60 way back
to the old Wagner Act, though")
He also said he was for q
"higher percentage" Of parity
on basic crops.
So with these appeals-and
denunciations - he made his
way through the cities and over
the countryside Of Michigan,
shaking hands with q friendly
"I'm Pat Mcnamara. What's
your name?" Then he'd say why
he thought he ought to be
elected.
It remains to be seen how the

INCLUSION OF FARMERS and
ranchers in the social security pro-
gram has been recommended by
President Eisenhower. If Congress
approves, here are some general
ideas about how it would work:
Would If be compulsory for all
farmers and ranchers?
Yes, if the program is expanded
to include farmers and rancherS,
all whose net income is $500 or more
year would have to participate.
How much would If cost?
Payments in 1858 would be per
cent of the first $4,000 of net income.
That's the amount in the present
law. There is a recommendation
that this be increased to $4,000.
When would payments be made?
At the same time that income
tax is paid. Payments would be
made to the Internal Revenue Bur-
eau with the tax.
What would benefits be?
The same as for those now COW
cred by social security. For de-
tails see What Do Farm Workers
Get for Social Security Payments?"

Second Family
or the II. S.
Wed II Years

Yesterday was Vice President
and Mrs. Richard Nixon's 14th
wedding anniversary.
They observed it with a quiet
dinner at home with their two
little daughters.
But like any other young
American couple wishing to take
special notice of such an i'm
portant milestone in their lives,
they celebrated it, too-laSt Fri
day night.
Because the Vice Presidents
busy schedule of meetings pre-
vented the couple from cele-
brating the day they were mar
ried II years ago at the Mission
Inn in Riverside. Calf, they
moved their fun up three days.
The second couple of the land
dined and danced under the stars
at the Shoreham Hotel on Fri
day with another couple, Mr..
and Mrs. Roger johnson, two old
friends from the Vice Presidents
home town, Whittier, Calf. who
are now Washington residents.
And from all reports they en-
joyed themselves.
But yesterday was a busy day
for both of them. The Vice Pres
ident led a Senatorial delegation
to attend funeral services for
the late Senator Lester c. Hunt.
Democrat, Of Wyoming. Mrs.
Nixon spent the day at home.
