the case in some policies.
Employees with Is years or
more of service who retire on a
civil service annuity will con-
tinue to be covered, even though
they will not be required to con-
tribute any more to the insur-
ance fund. At the age of IS. the
amount Of the insurance policy

drop below Is per cent of the
original policy value.
Employees over SIS who continue
20 work for the Government
would be treated on the same
basis. except that they would
have to contribute to the insur-
ance fun as long as they worked.
This feature means that every
Federal employe who retires be-
fore IS or who is still working in
Government after IS or retires
after that age is guaranteed life
insurance protection for their
families Of at least Is per cent
OF the original policy.

with the policy's value being
paid to the employees beneficiary
in the event of death. There
also is double indemnity clause,
in which accidental death would
bring double the payment of the
policy's value.
4. Employees who did not want
to participate in the program
could withdraw before it went
in effect. Or, they could with
draw at any later date.
5. No medical examination
would be needed to participate
in the program.
6. Employees who resign or are
separated from Government
would have the right to convert
their policies without having to
take a physical examination.
Z The plan would cover not
only all Federal employees and
officials, but would also cover
members of Congress, legislative
and judicial employees, as well
as all District of Columbia gov
ernment workers, including po-
lice, flremen and school teachers.

AS for the Kaplan committees
proposal to coordinate civil
service retirement with social
security to provide greater an
nuity and family survivorship
benefits, there is no chance Of
action by Congress this year.
Members of Congress want to
study the plan thoroughly before
making up their minds. Also,
the various employe organiza-
tions want to examine the pro-
posal thoroughly before decid-
ing whether to support it. This
means that any action on the
plan will have to wait at least
until next year.
LIFE INSURANCE - T h e
chances for eventual approval
of the group life insurance plan
next year appear to be rather
good. Members of the House and
Senate Civil Service Committees
who have studied the proposal
say it has a lot of merit.
Details of the plan were re-
ported in The Star last Wednes-
day. However, administration Of
ficials have cited additional rea-
sons why they feel the program
would be so beneficial.
/. The rate charged Federal
employees would be a real bar
gain" costing much less than it
would elsewhere. Employees
would pay Is cents each payday
(every two weeks for each
$1,000 insurance. This would
amount to $3.50 a year per 81 900
of insurance. The amount of
insurance would depend on an
employees annual salary, and
here again the employe would
get break. The amount of in
surance would be based on the
top thousandth of an employees
salary.
For example, an employe earn
ing $1,000 a year would carry
$1,000 worth of insurance. Based
on the rate of $3.50 a year per
$1,000 worth of insurance, this
employe would pay $45.50 a year.
The payments would automat-
ically be, deducted from the en-
ploye's paycheck. .'t.'pA

South Korean Plan Offered

in North Korea be withdrawn
into China a month before the
voting. But Chou En-lai, Red
China's foreign minister, told
the conference U. N. supervision
was unacceptable The Com
munists were believed certain to
reject also the troop-withdrawal
proposal.
Mr.. Chou asserted the United
Nations was "a belligerent in the
Korean war and has long lost its
qualification for dealing with
the Korean question impartially."
At the same time, he proposed
that "a neutral organization be
set up to render assistance to
the Korean machinery In charge
of the holding of the all-Korean
elections"
He obviously conceived of this
organization as something SINH
lar to the Neutral Nations Super
visory Commission which has
been unable to function properly
in Korea since the exchange Of
war prisoners. The Swiss and
Swedish members of the COM
mission complained recently they
have been obstructed by the
Communists in carrying out their
tasks.
A French spokesman described
the neutral commission proposal
as a small step forward. But an
American spokesman said it
would only be another body with
a built-in veto which would rule
out the possibility Of free elec-
tions. A British source said that
while Mr.. Chou's plan might
have superficial attractions it
has its dangers and does not
alter the situation or the power
of the all-Korean commission.

U. 5. Reported Trying
To Halt 7 Arms Ships
Bound for Guatemala
By the Assoeioied Press

Representative Killings, Re-
publican, Of California, said
yesterday the United States is
trying to stop at least two more
arms ships believed bound for
Guatemala from behind the Iron
Curtain.
He also said a special House
committee on communism may
investigate alleged Red inroads
into the Central American re-
public which received a 1000
ton shipment of arms this week
from Stettin in Red-dominated
Poland.
The State Department has
called this an important arms
shipment" and President Eisen-
hover has termed the news very
disturbing.
Mr.. Killings, a member of the
special committee, said he shas
Fbeen told that two and perhaps
more vessels are bound for Qua
temala with Communist pro-
duced arms. He said the UHited
States has asked off1cial$ of
friendly ports to interceptf the
ships if they put in from sea.
! ReuOrts Received.
The Congressman did not say
on what legal basis the ships
might be stopped. State Depart
ment officials said they have re-
ceived Ereports that additional
arms shipments are on the way
to Guatemala, but did not say
whether the reports are true or
whether preventive measures are
being taken.
Mr.. Killings said United States
authorities were tipped to search
a vessel of unSpecif1ed national
ity for weapons a few days ago
in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The
tip proved false, he said.
The Californian said investi-
gators for the special con-
gressional committee may be
sent to Mexico City to interview
Guatemalan exiles as the first
step toward a congressional
investigation Of the whole
Guatemalan situation.
Such a congressional probe
would be justified, he said, be-
cause of the serious situation"
created by alleged Red control
of the Guatemalan government
and the recer. arms shipment
which he termed "far too large
for defensive purposes"
Kremlin's Hand Seen.
"It is obvious from recent de-
velopments," he added, that the
Kremlin is stepping up its drive
to establish a beachhead" in the
western hemisphere.

French Leaders FeaI
Red Drive on Laos
within Two Weeks
- THE SUNDAY STAR
** Washington, D. G.
SUNDAY, MAY rs, 1854
By jones {. Roper

French authorities fear a Com
s munist invasion Of the Indo-
Chinese state Of Laos within two
weeks.
A sizeable force Of Communist
troops that participated in the
capture of Dien Bien Phu now
is reported moving southwark
toward Laos.
The Red force is bearing down
ION a Laotian column that tried
to help the Dien Bien Phu de-
z9enders. but arrived too late and
In too small numbers.
This column, reported on May
IL to number no more than three
battalionS, appeared inadequate
to halt the Red move if the Com
lnunists decide to plunge on into
=. Laos.
s. May Appeal to q. N.
This new threat added urgency
to q decision Of Laos and Cam
bodia, reported in diplomatic
circles, to ask the United Nations
to send observers to their coun-
tries unless the Geneva confer
ence perSuades the Reds already
there to withdraw.
The French were reported
ready to back the two Indo-
Chinese states in their appeal
to U. N.
Thailand also was understood
to be ready to ask for U. N.
observers. The United States
backed the Thai plan.
Regardless of what form a
request might take it probably
would touch off a debate in the
Security Council and lead to
a Soviet veto of any action.
Then the pro-Western powers
could go to the U. N. General
Assembly, where their majority
vote prevails, and probably per-
suade the Assembly to send
observers to Southeast Asia.
The observers in their reports
to U. NJ, would name the country
or group responsible for turmoil
In the area. re
Secretary Of State Dulles has
sought some such U. N. moral
sanction" before the United
States intervenes in Southeast
Asia.
Even though this seems like
q long procedure. some Ameri-
can off1cials think it's the best
plan-and they are showing
more patience over the crisis.
Some authorities at the Penta-
gon say there is no real chance
of a serious Communist attack
in the Red River delta of Wet
Nam until about September.
For such a breathing spell,
these military authorities thank
the monsoon season. Some top
military men say the torrential
rains. continuing more than 20
hours out of each day, will bog
down the Communist supply,
lines.
French officials here, however,
say the monsoon won't stop the
Reds. but instead will hamper
the French air power. The Reds
use no planes.
