|ployes have asked how 1t wa.
possible to get more benefits al
10 lesser cost to them.
The answer Is that the cost
to the employee would increase
every five years between now
and 1875 as the social security
contribution rate increases. Thus
by 1878, employees would pay 7la
Iper cent Of their salaries on the
first $4,000 Of their annual sal
aries and 6 per cent on any
amount above that.
For employees earning less thar
$4,000 a year. their contribution
to the co-ordinated civil service
retirement-social security would
be a fiat 71a per cent. For those
earning over $4,000 a year the
average contribution would be
per cent by 1875.
Under the social security law
employe contributions to social
security increased by one-half Of
one per cent every Ave years be-
tween now and 1875. Thus. II
wouldn't be until 1865 that some
Federal employees would pay
more for their combined Civil
Service retirement-social security
coverage than they are paying
now.
In return for the extra / or / y;

Takes Issue
With Austrian
Chancellor

VIENNA (JTA)-Dr. Emil
Maurer, president of the vi
emma Jewish Community, took
sharp issue today with Chan
cellor Julius Raab over allie
cations made by the Chancel-
or in his recent radio address
On the claims advanced by
Jewish organizations for res
titution of losses to Jews in
Austria under the NaZi re-
gime.
DR.. Maurer challenged the
accuracy of a statement by
Chancellor Raab to the effect
that the Austrian Govern
ment had already spent 3,0O0,-
100000 schillings for restitu-
ton. He took issue especially
with the Chancellor'S asSer-
ton that the government had
returned 2,OOO,OOO,OOO schil-
lings worth of property stolen
by the Nazis. This, DR.. Maui
rer said, was not cOmpenSa-
ton but merely the value of
returned property - if the
Chancellor's figures are ac-
curate.
There was no mention by
the Chancellor of the sums
spent for the rehabilitation of
Nazis, which funds came en-
tirely from the Austrian bud
get. DR.. Maurer underlined.
Commenting on the oft-re-
peated statement by the Chan
cellor that Austria is not obli-
gated to make good NaZi dam
ages to the Jews, it should ap-
ply same principle to the dis
abled.

Israel, the spokesman de-

dries. Israel does not claim
territory from any of it's

Israel To Seek
Eden's Pledge

LONDON (JTA) - The Is
rael Government seeks clari-
fication of the statement
made by Sir Anthony Eden In
the House of Commons on
the possibility of Britain's un-
derwriting an Arab-Israel
settlement providing it COW
ers the future of the Arab
refugees, the frontiers, and
the development of the Jor-
dan River. His a tie m e n t
came after considerable criti-
cism from the Labor benches
where members of the form
err Labor Cabinet CRITICIZED
the British Governments pol
icy in the Middle East as pro-
Arab.
If such a settlement were
to be a precondition of guar
antees to Israel, Israel aides
pointed out, the Arab states,
by merely refusing settle
ment could illustrate any Brit
ish move to insure lSraefS
security and might secure Is
raePs isolation more easily
by political means than mill
tarily.
The very vagueness OF the
statement by Sir Anthony, it
is felt by Israel circles, could
alone encourage the ARAB
states in their present intrans-
igeant attitude. These circles
emphasized that if Sir An
thonv had in mind Israel con-
cessions such as ceding terri
tory or accepting the return
of the refugees, Israel could
not consider the matter fur-
ther Israel. however, is al
wavs willing to consider ad-
iustments with the A r a D
states and is ready to do so
in a free and voluntary inter-
change across a table. w
Sir Anthony declared: I'VE
have got, by every means IN
our power, to bring about a
settlement between Israel and
the Arab states. AS far as l
am concerned, We should be
perfectly ready to enter INTO
come new form of guarantee
for that settlement"
