Watson said-under questioning
by MIR. Lambs attorney, Russell
Morton Brown-that he advised
Walter r. Powell. jr,. last De-
cember he would change his tes-
timony. Mr.. Powell formerly was
the chief commission lawyer in
the case but resigned January /
to join the staff of the National
Association of Radio and Tele-
vision Broadcasters.
Watson testified last Friday
that Mr.. Powell and other COM
mission representative S
coached" him into lying about
Mr.. Lamb.
Under further questioning by
Mr.. Brown, Watson also testified
today that he had talked to Mr..
Brown himself several times
while he was witness last fall.
Watson said that subsequently
he even became a consultant for
Mr.. LAMB. He said this involved
going over statements by anti
Lamb witnesses to check for ac-
curacy concerning Red activities
in Ohio in the 1930s.
Asked by Mr.. Brown whether
he understood that a possible
consequence" of his new testi-
mony might lead to a perjury
charge, Watson replied:

which are unequivocally COM
mitted against any plan to SUBJ
stitute social security benefits for
staff pension benefits. They in
sist that the two programs
should be maintained as separate
entities, though bearing some
reasonable relationship to each
other in providing overall re-
tirement pensions and survivor
protection.
In his message to the Con-
gress on January 6. 1855, Presi-
dent Eisenhower said:
Needed improvements in sur
Vlvor, disability and retirement
benefits for Federal civilian and
military personnel have been ex-
tensively considered by the Com
mittee on Retirement Policy for
Federal Personnel. The commit
tees proposals would strengthen
and improve benefits for our ca
reer people in Government, and
I endorse their broad objectives.
Full contributory coverage under
old age and survivors insurance
should be made available to all
Federal personnel, just as in pri-
vate industry
1t is quite likely that the pat
tern of coordination of public
pension plans throughout the
country will be considerably in
by the committees pro-
posals and by action the Con-
gress may take in effecting a
plan of co-ordinating the bene-
fits of the Civil Service Retire

Anti:Lamb Witness

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Lowell Watson said today he
advised a Federal Communica-

December he was going to repu-

Edward Lamb, the broadcaster.
Watson, self-described former
Communist in Ohio and West

fled today that he had gone to
lawyers for Mr.. Lamb last
September because he was "un-
comfortable" about his testi-

Watson is the second witness

| headed the Kaplan Committee,
ridicules these fears. Mr.. Kap-
Ian declares that the civil serv-
ice retirement system would not
be jeopardized.
ARGUMENTS PRESENTED
The Kaplan Committee was
composed of many of the cabinet
officers and agency heads of the
Eisenhower administration.
Mr.. Kaplan. who at one time
was executive director of the
nonpartisan National Civil Serv-
ice League, and now Is counsel
/ to the New York State Pension
Commission, presents his reasons
why the Kaplan Committee has
recommended coordination of
the civil service retirement and
social SECURITY systems.
Here are excerpts from Mr..
Kaplan's article:
1.-THE Congress soon will be
asked to consider a fundamental
change in the basis of the PEN
sion system which covers the vast
majority of U. S. Government
employees. The new plan, pro-
posed after intensive study by
the congressionally created Com
mittee on Retirement Policy for
Federal Personnel. would give
more benefits at less cost by
combining retirement system
benefits with those Of the social
security system.
Next to salary, in Importance
to the employe and in cost to
the Government, is the pension.
Private industry has encouraged,
and even required, its personnel
managers to assume the same
responsibility for pension poll

ploye benefit programs as for
any other vital phase Of person.

Presidents BACKING
.0yerrafed in Some
Places, Hall Is Told
BY The Asoeiated Press

g. A Republican Congressman
from Chicago today told G. o. P.
! National Chairman Leonard w.
sAHall that President Eisenhower's
: popularity in some places "is not
sas great as you seem to think
It is"
(. Representative Sheehan today
made public letter in which
he criticized Mr.. Hall for re-
marks the chairman made about
anti administration groups
! within the G. .O.P. in a speech
!, before the Republican National
\ Committee last Thursday.
~ 1T seems to me-" Mr.. Sheehan
wrote Mr.. Hall, that we should
stake a lead from our Democrat
Counterparts and not go around
criticizing other factions in the
SRepublican Party who may have
basic problems in their own ter
fitories.
"You emphasized the great
popular following of Mr.. Eisen-
hover, but I am sure you must
realize that there are sections
, of the country wherein Mr.. Eli
senhower's popularity is not as
great as you seem to think it is.
I'm the last election we in
Illinois were eXhorted by the
Republican National Committee
and by most of our top State
officials to hitch our wagon to
the star of Mr.. Eisenhower's
popularity because he was the
one who was supposed to carry
us to victory. No one told us
until after the election that. ac-
cording to the Gallup poll, Mr..
Eisenhower's popularity was then
at its lowest point"
Republican Joseph Meek was
defeated by Democratic Senator
Douglas in the 1854 Illinois elec-

co-ordinating the benefits of the
cial security and those of the
various Federal pension plans.
The committees proposal
which has administration en-
dorsement-would continue the
Civil Service Retirement System
as the primary source of pension
benefits for the majority of Fed
eral employees, separate and
apart from social security but
supplemented by it. Benefits
would remain the same as at
present. but when the retiree
reached IS the pension formula
would be modified by reducing
the amount payable from the
retirement fund and augmenting
1t by payments from the social
security fund. so that the total
from both sources would give
him a larger benefit than at
present generally about 8 per
cent more) at the same cost to
him.
"A major weakness of the
present retirement system is in
adequate survivors benefits.
These would be substantially
larger under the committees
plan.
EXAMPLES-"Take two hy-
pothetical cases of contrasting
benefits under present and pro-
posed retirement plans:
u. An employee with II years
service, with the highest-five-
year average pay $4,028, dies,
leaving widow of IL and two
children Of IA and 8. Under the
present plan. the widow would
get $1.108 a year for four years,
until the older child is 18: 1881
for the next six years, until the
younger is 18; and 1854 a year
Tor the rest of her life. Under the
proposed plan she would get
$2,834 year for the first four
years, $2,454 for the next six,
$544 for IA years until she is
IS, and then 1892 for life.
2. An employe of SIS retires
after 80 years service. His high
est-flve-year average pay was
81, 200, and he now gets a pen
sion of $168 a month. Under
the proposed plan, he would get
a total benefit Of $210 a month,
and when his wife reached 65
1t would rise to 1858 or sos
more than he could ever get
under the present system.
THE proposed plan would give
better treatment to the thou
sands who may be employed by
private business at some times,
by Government at others.
FEARS DISCOUNTED-"The
m ] GRITTY of Federal en-
ployes appear to favor the COM
mittee's plan of coordination.
Some leaders of their organiza-
tions. although favorably i'm
with the overall pro-
posals, are opposed because they
fear that when social security
is once extended to the Govern
ment worker it might eventually
supersede the staff pension sys-
tenn. Much of this opposition is
due to misunderstanding of the
committees proposed method of
coordination.
Moreover, the history of the
development of industrial pen
sion plans in the last 10 years
should dispel these fears. So
should the recent trend toward
co-ordinating social security
benefits with those provided by
State pension systems. Social
security has been substituted for
staff pension benefits only in the
