House Group Backs
Expanded Coverage
In Social Security
BY the Associoted Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee late yesterday ap-
proved most Of President Eisen-
hower's proposals for expanding
social security coverage. And to-
day it turned to White House
requests for higher benefits, with
another okay generally expected.
The committee lined up yes
terday behind proposals to make
more than 7 million persons.
who are excluded now. eligible
for Federal retirement and death
benefit insurance.
The committee obviously was
in a mood to extend the system,
now covering some 70 million
persons. to almost all the Ma
tion's working force. The Com
mittee so far has voted to add
about 100000 more persons than
Gen. Eisenhower requested.
1873 Vote on Doctors.
Compulsory coverage was voted
yesterday for about SO million
farm operators and about SOC, ,00O
doctors. lawyers, dentists, engi-
neers, accountants and other pro-
fessional groups-deSpite strong
opposition by some, notably the
American Medical Association
(AMA).
Members said the closed-door
vote to bring in doctors was
1913.
And the committee voted to
make coverage available for
about 100000 State and local
government employees who have
been excluded because they al
ready have some sort of local
retirement system. Under the
new proposal, they could have
both.
To come under the Federal
system, a majority of State and
local employees in any separate
group would have to participate
in referendum, and two-thirds
Of those voting would have to
agree. Then coverage would be
compulsory for all in that group.
The requirement that a ma
jority must participate in the
referendum was not included in
the administration bill, but ad-
miniStration officials said they
did not oppose it. The commit
tee also voted to include firemen
and policemen, who were not in
cluded in the administration bill.
The committee deferred action
on an administration request to
provide compulsory coverage for
about 2.6 million farm laborers
now excluded. But it is expected
to approve that step, after work.
ing out technical details.
Increases Studied.
Taking up section by section
the bill by Chairman Daniel A..
Reed, the committee scheduled
consideration today of benefit
increases.
The administration proposal
would hike minimum monthly
payments to some 6 million per-
sons already on the rolls from
$25 to $50 and the maximum for
single retired worker from $85
to $98.50.
For millions retiring in the
future the maximum would 90
up to $113.50. Dependents and
survivors would get similar boosts
with the maximum for one fam
lily jumping from $168.75 to
$3.50.
Benefits are based upon aver
age monthly wages under the
system.

The first step. naturally, is to
cut of the water supply. Then
drain the tank and use a bowl
brush to sloSh the water out

piping to the tank and unbolt 1t

This drain pipe is of lead, 4
inches in diameter. A brass
flange fits over the top of this
pipe and is bolted to the floor.
When it is installed, this lead
pipe is cut to proper length,
flared out over the top of this
flange and soldered to it. In the
older installations, a material
called plumbers putty was
spread over the top Of this ring
and the bowl then set in place
with the "horn," or drain tube
projecting into the lead pipe.

Double Treatment.
MY 3-year-old son used a
screw driver to punch a plastic
covered chair full of holes. What
can I do about it?"-Mrs. c. K,
Clearwater, Fla.
Answer-Very simple indeed.
A slip cover and a hairbrush
applied on the proper seats will
take care of the matter very
nicely. Plastic upholstery can
not be mended.
Mechanical clothes driers are
Just dandy. but beware of the
moisture they put into the air of

Ten pounds of water may be put

United States May Walk Out
Of Indo-Chinu Geneva Talks
Decision Not Yet Made, but Thinking
Of Delegation Runs to Pessimism
To the Rescue

The second factor is the in
evitably of a new hassle over the
Craftsmanship at the upcoming
talks. The problem here is
tougher than for the Korean
phase of the conference where
19 nations participate. For the
Indo-C China talks. there will be
only nine, of whom five are ac-
tive belligerents. 1t will be i'm
possible to use the same formula
as was used in the case Of the
Korean talks which involved a
neutral" chairman and excludes
both China and the United
States from the rotating chair
manShip.
At any rate the American po-
sition on the Indo- Chinese talks
remains the same. The United
States will never sit down to any
conference presided over by
China's Chou En-lai. And the
same undoubtedly goes for the
Wet Mimi foreign minister.
A decision to stay out of the
Indo- China talks altogether
would not be out Of line with
what appears to be the thinking
Of the American delegation here
There is much pessimism about
the chances of any settlement
short of capitulation and an OBJ
vious intention to wash oul
hands Of any bargain that
smacks of surrender.
The danger is that such q
move would further weaken the
bargaining position of other al
lies who are already complaining
that an American policy of dis
engagement" at Geneva has left

Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor


GENEVA, May 5.-The United
States may walk out of the talks
on an Indo-C China truce before
they begin.
At this point no such decision
has been made and the plan
ming is proceeding on the as
sumption that the American del
egate will sit in on the sessions
with the Communists scheduled
to begin within the next day or
two. But two factors have
emerged which might change
these plans.
First is the announcement by
the Chinese that they Joined in
the invitation sent to Wet Mini
to come to Geneva. This move
if the Chinese claim turns out
to be true-would be considered
by the United States as a direct
violation of the four-power
agreement in Berlin which, ac-
cording to the American inter-
probation. named the inviting
powers as Russia. the United
States. Britain and France. In
talks with Communists here. il
had been understood that Russia
alone would send an invitation
to Wet Mini.
Up until now the Americans
have been extremely touchy
about every attempt by the Rus
slams to make this a f1ve-powel
conference. And if they want
to make an issue of it. this latest
violation of the Berlin agreement
could be stretched into grounds
for a Walkout.
