was seven years before the
United States became the last
of the major industrial nations
to legislate protection against
old age. unemployment and
widowhood.
In 1881 as unemployment
mounted toward its depression
worst. Mr.. Folsom organized IA
companies at Rochester, N. Y,
including Eastman. into the
Rochester Plan"-a scheme of
layoff pay similar in many re-
spects to the agreements signed
this spring by Ford and General
Motors with the CIO United Auto
Workers.
Folsom, now 81. was born
November %, 1893 in McCrae,
Ga. He is a quiet. soft-spoken
imam who neither drinks nor
smokes and has made a life
speciality of the dusty complexi-
ties of pensions. and tax and So
cial security law.
When the Eisenhower admin
istration came into power. he
was appointed Undersecretary of
the Treasury for tax matters.
Revised Tax Code
From the outset, his Treasury
Job was the complete revision,
the first in over 10 years of the
Federal tax code put into law
last year. Mr.. Folsom claimed
little public notice for his part in
ldevising the new 900-page tax
law. but it is very much his own
work.
He had planned to return to
private business this summer.
But the imminenee of Mrs. Hob
Iby's resignation opened a job Mr..
Folsom could not resist-admin-

A Harvard Business School
graduate with a passion for
figures and detail, Mr.. Folsom
has very often seen an ad-
vantage to business as well as
Ito workers and the community
lin proposals that set other busi-
nessmen to crying socialism. -"
] In 1881 he publicly urged
adoption by industry of the
lfiye-day week. Also, he told a
national meeting of Community
Chest executives that planned
public works could be used as
a powerful anti-depression
weapon.
Picked by Roosevelt
| 1t was with this background
that the late President Roose-
welt picked Mr.. Folsom, a Re-
publican, to help frame the
social security laws.
He has served as a director Of
1.-THE United States Chamber. of
Commerce and as q member of
the Commerce Departments
Business Advisory Council. He
is an overseer of Harvard Col
Ilege and is q Presbyterian.
Mrs. Hobby's name Oveta is
an Indian word meaning forget.
Though its sound fits her soft
spoken manner and polite firm-
ness. it is far from typical of her
memorable record in public and
private life. war and peace, and
politics and administration.
Her career, particularly in
connection with the confusion
and stoppages of the Salk vac
cine program in recent months,
has aroused controversy and

the WAC in World War II.
Social Security Administrator
A Texas Democrat and wife of
William P. Hobby, Houston news
lpaper publisher who was governor
from 1917 to 1921, she was well
known in her own right to Presi-
dent Eisenhower and to Wash

ministrator of the then Federal
Security Administration.
When that agency and others

Despite the fact that President
Eisenhower has ordered the
Dixon-Yates contract Cancelled,
the Senate subcommittee is going
ahead with its inquiry into the
background Of the power deal.

= Mr.. Armstrong said that the
s.commiSsion agreed to the post
Sponement asked by Mr.. Adams.
Three days later it went ahead,
he said, as the attorneys men,
toned by Mr.. Adams had decided,
1T would not be necessary to
come into the case at that time.
During particular period the
House was debating an ad-
ministration request for a SOS
million appropriation.
When SEC Chairman Arm
strong was asked yesterday if
White House pressure had any,
thing to do with the postpone
ment he was threatened with a
citation for contempt when he
declined to answer on the
grounds that he was bound to
respect the privileged and conf
dental nature of communica-
tions within the executive branch
Of the Government"
Brownell Approves
Coming to today's hearing in
company with the other three
members of the commission. the
chairman presented an opinion
in which Attorney General
Brownell told him "the position
you have taken is sound" but
outlined circumstances under
which he might answer the sub
committees questions.
Mr.. Armstrong said that the
commission had decided to make
full disclosure" of the reason
for suspending the hearings and
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, the subcommittee
chairman praised it's decision,
saying your attitude today takes
away any questions anyone
might have regarding the fair
ness of quasi-judicial proceed
ings before the commission"
Senator Kefauver then began
to press the witness as toI
whether any other outside par
ties" had made any representa-
tions to the commission in the
Dixon-Yates case and Chairman
Armstrong responded sharply
that he had testified yesterday
that there were no representa-
tions from the outside.
When the Senator continued
with the same line of question
ing and called for q .'clean
breast" from the witness, Mr..
Armstrong reported that "I'ye
given you the whole story"
Butler Protests
Senator Butler jumped in at
that point and declared that the
committee would have to take
responsibility for "badgering the
witness" And then he said
sharply that he was sorry he
had not been at yesterdays hear
ing bacause he. had heard it had
been a "disgraceful perform
ance.'

Hvphenated Americans

POLITICIANS all too many times put
J their foot in their mouth simply by MAX
ing statement which they attribute to
their personal sense of patriotism
One of these Statesmen" did just that
last week via nationally televised pro-
gram when he told his untold millions of
listeners that there should be no room in
this land of the free, the home Of the brave.
for "hyphenated Americans
We assume he means that "Croatian-
Americans" "Polsh- Americans italian
A m r cans" "Czechoslovak-Ameri
and so forth, should present themselves as
1000, de-hyphenated sons and daughters
Of Uncle Sam" or else. Well, now
Didn't this politician learn in school that
America became great by setting itself up
as The Melting Pot of The World?" We
did, many, many years ago.
Hasn't this politico ever read the in
scription on the base of the Statue of
Liberty: Give me your tired. your
poor, Your huddIed masses yearning to
be free, The wretched refuse of your
teemng shore, Send these, the tempest
tossed to me; lift my lamp beside the
golden door" We have, many times.
Doesn't he know that it took men and
women of every nationality on earth to
build this Country of ours = build it by
working side by side and fighting side by
side to keep it free?
Does he feel, for example, that the
English Editor of the zajedncar should
cease calling himself "Croatian- -Ameri-
cam because he was born in America?
Well, the English Editor doesn't feel
that way, Nor is he ashamed Of it!
