Careful, Comrode:
We Nearly Forgot
About April Fool

It's a good thing yesterday
was April l. or there might have
been a riot at the staid old May
flower Hotel.
A group of American Bar As
sociation executives were having
a banquet and Lowell B. Mason,
Federal Trade Commission men,
ber and toastmaster. introduced
a special speaker to the guests
among who were Supreme Court
justices and high Government
officials.
The guest-"Commissar Con-
affa witch, alias X-53," clad in
a Soviet Army uniform-began
a raving TRADE against America.
There were Kisses and catcalls,
increasing in intensity. And then,
suddenly, laughter as the guests
realized they'd been April fooled.
CommiSsar Gonaffavitch was
Lew Jordan, mimic from Cleve-
land.

Honored by Jurists

Harry B. Dertzbaugh yester-
day received congratulatory mes
sages from Chief Justice Warren

of other jurists upon completing

service having been with the late
Judge Daniel w. O'Donoghue.
Surprise Reception.
Yesterday Mr.. Dertzbaugh
commented:
did you ever see anything
like it," as he looked over his
many congratulatory messages.
Another big surprise came late
in the day as his fellow workers,
who had presented him with
flowers earlier. held a reception
for him at the Office. It was at
tended by judges of the U. s. Dis
trict Court and the u. S. Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia.
Besides the message from
Chief Justice Warren, who wrote
him a letter, the veteran clerk
also was congratulated on his
lengthy service by Justice Bur-
ton of the Supreme Court, who
sent letter; by Chief Judge
Harold M. Stephens of the
United States Court of Appeals
and all of the judges of the
United States District Court. The
messages from Judge Stephens
and the District Court judges
were written in a little booklet.
Tne latter also was autOgra aphed
by fellow employees.
Chief Justice Warren wrote:
1T is an enviable record you
have made, and I congratulate
you. To have the esteem of your
associates and the satisfaction
that comes from a sense of pub
lie duty performed for a half
century must be very gratifying
to you. My best wishes for con-
tinued happiness.

ter: please accept my thanks
and congratulations for a life

optional plan, only a very small
proportion of eligible individuals
elect to participate. 1t said those
who exercise the option usually
| are not the people of below
average income who are in the
greatest need.
Nevertheless, amendments Of
fered by Senator George are
expected to receive serious atten-
ton, since he is the ranking
Democrat on the Finance Com
mittee. Aside from these changes
in coverage. Senator George said
the bill is. satisfactory to him.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia, took a stand against
merging the Federal Civil Serv-
ice Retirement system with So
cial Security.
Cite Kaplan Report.
Mrs. Hobby said Government
employees were not included in
the pending bill in the House
because the so-called Kaplan
Committee had not yet reported
its findings to the Senate Civil
Service Committee. Since the
House action the Kaplan group
has recommended that eventual
ly the Civil Service retirement
system should be merged with
Social Security, just as private
industry has pension plans in
tegrated with Social Security.
Senator Byrd said all of the
Government employees he has
heard from are opposed to going
under the Social Security law.
Government workers pay 6 per
cent of their salaries for retire
ment, but Senator Byrd said they
have a better system.
An official of the Social Sc
curity Board explained that if
the two systems were merged
Government employees earning
under $4,000 a year would pay
only 3.5 per cent for the Civil
Service system plus two per cent
for Social Security. There is no
specific recommendation before
the Finance Committee today,
however, to order the merger in
the pending bill.

George Plans i Move l
To Modify Pending
Social Security Bill
By J. A. o'Leory

Senator George, Democrat, Of
Georgia, revealed today he will
try to modify the pending social
security bill to make Federal old
age insurance permissive but not
compulsory for farm operators
and professional groups.
He made the announcement as
the Senate Finance Committee
began public hearings on the
House-approved measure, which
extends coverage to 10 million
more individuals, and increases
benefit payments for all re-
cipients. "
The George amendment prob
ably would reduce the number of
new beneficiarieS.
AS it passed the House the bill
would have covered 3.6 million
self-employed farmers and AGO.
900 self-employed members OF
professions.
"dHIS OUCJOIS 1uCAuOCus
In contrast to the George pro-
posal, an administration spokeS-
man opened the Senate hearings
today with a plea to broaden the
House bill to include doctors.
They were omitted when the
House made the retirement plan
apply to lawyers, dentists. archi-
tects, engineers, accountants and
other self employed persons.
The administration witness
was Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby
of the Department of Health.
Education and Welfare. In a
statement prepared for delivery
at the hearing. she said the
House bill embodied the essen
tial features of the Eisenhower
program, namely:
Extension of the retirement
system to 10.5 million more in
dividuals, with increased bene-
fits for those already on retire
ment or to be retired in future,
and other improvements. She
urged retention Of the principle
of relating benefits to earnings,
and said that, with the higher
pensions in the bill, the payroll
tax will apply to the first $4,000
instead of the first $500 of an
nual earnings.
Backs Voluntary Plan.
Senator George said today he
doubted the wisdom of COM
polling professional groups or
farmers to go under the law, but
is willing to make them eligible
on a voluntary basis.
The House Ways and Means
Committee rejected the volun-
tary approach to the profess
sions. The House committee
said the history of social in
Surance shows that, under the
