Mundt 10 Offer Plan
ToAvefSquabbIeso Of
Federal Branches
sxshs Assoeiossd Press

Senator Mundt, Republican OF
South Dakota said today he will
take up with the White House
his plans for averting in the fu-
ture completely reprehenSible
squabbles" such as he said
marked some parts of the Nc
Carthy-Army hearings.
Senator Mundt. who presided
at the stormy televised sessions.
Is drafting legislation to create q
special coordinating committee
to seek cooperation and peace
full relations between congress
sional investigating committees
and the executive branch.
The question Of congressional
executive dealings cropped up
time and again during the So
: days Of public inquiry into the
dispute between Senator Nc
Carthy. Republican, of Wiscon-
sin, and Army officials. Senator
Mccarthy denounced a White
House secrecy" edict against
disclosure of what went on at
an executive branch meeting
where the McCarthy-Army row
was discussed. Senator Nc
Carthy's stand that Government
employees should give him secret
papers bearing on what the
Senator terms wrongdoing, also
brought him into conflict with
the administration.
Senator Mundt said in an
interview he hoped for an agree
ment to set up a coordinating
committee representing congress
sional investigating groups and
the executive branch.
He said such a group, includ-
ing Republican and Democratic
Congress members, could work
in harmony and avert com
pletely reprehensible squabbles'
about their powers.
Senator Mcclellan Of Arkan-
sas, the subcommittee senior
Democrat, said:
I'VE don't need any co-ordi-
mating committee If men will
be men. and get away from this
kid stuff of quarreling and bick-
ering.

to appoint committee to help

The double cottages include
living rooms with flreplaces, pull

are individual sleeping rooms.
Virtually nothing will be car
ried over to the new institution
from the old Industrial Home
School, built as an almshouSe in
1927. AS early as 1904. there was
talk of moving the school.
When a child comes to the new
institution, he will stay in the
research cottage with other new
arrivals while the staff works out
the best program for him. He
then will be assigned to school
work and a living unit in accord
ance with his needs and capabil-
tiles.
Each cottage will have its own
recreation program adapted to
the group of children living in it.

a leading role in draftine the
proposed program, Is very en-
thuSiastic about the pr \
it would provide Federal en-
ployes and their families. Mr..
Folsom also points out that the
insurance would also cover mem
berS of Congress, legislative and
judicial workers. and all District
of Columbia government en-
ployes, including police, flremen
and teachers.
Everybody from the President
Of the United States to the
loweSt-paid employe in the Gov
eminent would be eligible for
the program.
Mr.. Folsom pointed out that
the program is a voluntary one
and that any employee has the
right not to participate. But adj
minfstration officials feel that
about IS per cent of the, en-
ployes will take advantage of
the program. That has been the
experience in private industry.
Employees would receive life
insurance policies based on their
salaries. For example, an en-
ploye earning $1,000 a year
would receive a $1,000 policy;
81, 440 a year employe would be
covered by $4,000 worth of in
surance. AS an employees salary
increased so would the policy.
There is a $4,000 limitation on
the amount of a policy covering
the President, the Vice President,
cabinet officers, and the Speaker
of the House earning more than
$4,000 year.
Premiums would be paid
through a payroll deduction sys-
tenn, whereby Is cents would be
deducted each payday for each
$1,000 of insurance coverage.
The policy would be payable
on the death of the employe.
After age IS. the amount of the
policy would decline by two per
cent a month, but it would not
in any event go below Is per
cent of its original value.
Employees who retire on an
annuity would not have to pay
premiums on their policy after
their retirement. Also, employees
retired at any time on disability
would not have to pay premiums
from that point on.
Another feature of the pro-
gram is that employees who re-
sign from Government or who
are involuntarily separated
would have the right to convert
their policy without taking a
| physical examination, regardless
of age.
Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee has
introduced the bill in the House
at the administrations request.
The House committee has not
yet set a date for hearings,

/. Employees who continue on
the job after age IS will not
have to continue their payment;
to the life insurance fund.
2. Employees are guaranteed
that their $3.50 q year contri-
button for each $1,000 worth OF
insurance coverage will not be
increased in the future, unless
Congress so votes. Furthermore
the employees were told that
their $3.50 a year payment pei
$1,000 coverage might be re-
duced.
Administration officials say
there is a definite possibility
that the employee rate contribu-
ton will be lowered as the years
60 by, without any reducing
benefits.
5. The various Government
employe union insurance COM
panies would be part of the
program, instead Of being liqui'
dated as originally planned.
4. Employe officials would bt
among the representatives or
the Government advisory boarC
that would supervise the life
insurance program.
5. In addition to double in
demnity payment for accidental
death, employees would receive
from SO to 100 per cent value or
their policies for loss Of a liml
or other severe injuries.
6. Complete coverage Of al
employees engaged in hazardous
jobs. The original bill was little
vague regarding the coverage O.
such workers.
PROGRESS-While the com
mittee's amendments fail II
meet all Of the unions objec
lions, administration officials a.
we'll as Senator Carlson fee
they have met the employees OBJ
jectionS more than half way.
Some of the unions had asked
that the entire program be furn
ished free to the employees, bu
the majority Of the employ
groups appeared satisfied will
the proposed rate of employ
contributions.
Also, several of the organiza
tions asked that the Govern
ment operate the program rather
than private assurances firms
but did not seem too inSistan
on this point.
The employ organizations
suggestion that Federal employees
be given full details of the lift
insurance program before they
decide to join or not, also ha'
been adopted by the administra'
ton.
Administration officials say
that if and when the Legislation
is adopted into law, there will
be a two-month waiting perioC
during which time employees will
be given booklets fully explain
Ing the entire program. Also
employees will be furnished with
cards to I'LL out and turn in i
they don't want to participate
in the program.
WIDESPREAD BENEFITS -
President Eisenhower and thu
administration are very anxious
that the life insurance program
become law this year. They fee
that Government workers ar
entitled to receive the same typ
of benefits which have won sucl
widespread acceptance from EN-
ployeS in private industry.
