New Year as time for inventory.
We need not only an inventory
of our businesses to see how we

miss the most important things.
We remember the story of the
soldier set to guard a prisoner,
with the command, Keep this

SENATE LABOR GROUP
OkS Rail MEASURE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-LDNS)-
Overcoming a blockade imposed by
Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.)
the Senate Labor Committee by an
11-to-1 vote approved the Rail Broth
erhoods' Bill to liberalize the Railroad
Retirement Law.
Goldwater's subcommittee had the
Senate version of the bill bottled up
since February. The full committee
by-passed the subcommittee Monday
when, on motion by Sen. Matthew M.
Nicely (D-W. Va, it voted to ap-
prove House-passed version instead
of referring it to the Goldwater unit.
Goldwater claimed that the bill is
not in accordance with President Ell
senhower's program because the bill,
among other things, would reduce
the minimum age from IS to 60 at
which time rail workers widow or
dependent parents could qualify for
benefits.
Said the Arizona Republican, if
that provision becomes the standard
for social security it could cost as
much as So billion yearly.
Replied Sen. James E. Murray Cd
Mont.) to the Goldwater statement,
if that is the case, it is really rea-
son for passing the bill.
ut is absurd to contend that the
widows of railroad workers should
be deprived of pension rights at
age CO., said Murray.
obviously they are in need and
cannot obtain employment"
The Montanan added that if
passing the railroad retirement
liberalization bill will hasten the
day when widows of all deceased
workers can get pensions at age 60,

However, when the House put onion

After the Senate-House conference

Republicans agreed that Atomic

Firms working for Acc could pat

they swear they didn't get the idea
while working for the government.
If Acc isn't convinced, it can order
the patent issued to itself.
The Republican agreement further
provides that any firm, convicted of
using an atomic energy patent to Gre

patent to anyone who wants to use
it. License fees must also be equal |

industrial services by 500 out of 21,-

The health officer and commits
