of coffee from producers who have
not been able to sell their crops.
The recent world slump in coffee
prices has hampered Guatemala's
thus far successful efforts to re-
gain her European markets, lost
in the ten years following the
war. That this campaign has been
successful can be measured by the
fact that in 1857 European nations
purchased $50 million in coffee,
an increase of $13 million over
the preceding year. Germany,
Italy, Sweden, Holland and Bel.
GUM were the leading European
purchasers.

the disclosure that its present
deficit has climbed to $40 bill
lion.
Mr.. STAINS declared:
ITO imply that, because 1t
is not fully funded. the retire.
|ment fund is being somehow
mismanaged and that it is
bankrupt is to call into ques-
ton the full faith and credit
of the United States Govern
ment.
"The Retirement Act promises
to make certain payments
under specified conditions, and
regardless of the size of the
balance in the retirement fund
at any particular time, these
BENEFITS will be paid because
the promise to do so is backed
by the full faith and credit Of
the Government. There are no
conditions attached. It is q
perfectly open and straight
forward obligation.
while there are very strong
reasons for full funding Of
private pension plans. these
reasons do not apply in the case
Of the Civil Service Retirement
System. The most important
reason for full funding of
private plans is to assure en-
ployes that they will receive the
benefits they have earned even
though the employer may 60
out Of business. We have never
thought it necessary to make
provisions for the Federal Gov
eminent going out of business. I"
Meanwhile, the House has
approved an additional $3.50
million for the funds operation
this year.
Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican of Maryland. sought to
eliminate the rider to the In
dependent Offices bill which
would bar future annuity in
creases or new retirement ben
efits unless appropriations were
first voted to pay the cost. This
was defeated. SO to So. How
ever. a move will be made to
defeat the rider when the bill
comes up in the Senate.
Representative Thomas,
Democrat of Texas. author of
the rider, declared it was not
intended to prevent future an
nuity increases. He said the
appropriations group would
vote necessary money for an
nuity increases that are voted
by Congress. He said the rider
was offered to make sure that
appropriations were voted by
Congress to pay for additional
costs to the civil service retire
ment system, in order to pre-
vent the deficit from increasing.

Crippled Plane
Lands Safely
ifh44Aboard

A deg aircraft which de-
veloped landing gear trouble
after a takeoff from National
Airport last night circled for
two hours and then landed
safely
Aboard were 80 passengers
and q crew Of five. The plane,
a Braniff Airlines plane turned
over to an Eastern Airlines
crew in Miami on a regular in
terchange agreement after the
Braniff flight from Buenos
Aires, was en- route to New
York.
Crew members said a freak
reaction by the damaged nose
landing gear accounted for a
smooth emergency touchdown.
The plane was brought in by
Capt. j. B. Thompson, SO, a
pilot for IA years.
According to Wallie H. Stein
bring. "a. who piloted the take
on from National, the plane
had leveled ~off at 5000 feet
when there was a loud, shear
ing noise"
Landing Gear Falls Down
The nose landing gear, he
said, had fallen out of the
wheel well and was hanging in
an unlocked position.
On instruction from the con-
troll tower, the plane moved out
of the traffic patterns and be-
gan circling at $500 feet while
waiting for supplemental crash
equipment from the Anacostia
and Boiling bases.
y The nose wheel, however,
held up for a normal landing q
few minutes before Z pm.
The main croSsbar which
holds the wheel strut was
broken of at both ends and
it wedged up into the wheel
well in such a way that the
wheel failed to collapse as ex-
pected. the pilot explained.
Passengers, who had high
praise for the crew. said all
aboard remained calm during
the two-hour ordeal.
Coudert ON Hand
Representative Coudert, Re-
publican of New York, was one
of the passengers stationed at
an emergency exit to aid pas
sengers from the plane in event
Of a crash.
James E. Bryan, 80, who was
stationed in New York City
with the United States Public
Health Service, commented
that the operation was one of
the best handled things I've
ever seen. There was no panic
at all and the landing was
smoother than many routine
ones"
Among the passengers were
seven students and two chaper-
ones from Mary Baldwin Col
lege in Staunton. Va.
When the plane came to a
halt at the end Of the main
runway, a rubber-tube emer-
gency slide was set down and
Thomas B. Hubbard, a pas
senger. of New York City, and
Jack Lunt, an Eastern Air Lines
flight supervisor who was
aboard the plane, went down
the chute followed by the male
crew members. They set up a
ladder for the remainder of
the passengers to get out of the
plane.
Eastern Air Lines reported a
check was being made Of the
landing gear which appeared to
be damaged. The airline ar
ranged for the passengers to
continue their flight to New
York on another plane about
two hours later.

stalling on the legislation
which was sent to conference
four weeks ago.
Due to the extreme urgency
of this legislation, it seems to
us that the conferees should
have met and acted long before
now" the House members de-
clared in a letter to Senator
johnson. 1.-THE fact that these
conferees have not held a meet
ing is extremely disappointing
to us and to the thousands Of
postal workers who have beer
anxiously awaiting final action
The postal workers and theii
legislative representatives are
demoralized, frustrated anc
keenly disappointed in the in
action by the conferees on these
measures.
Classified Employees
1T might be added that this
delay has serious consequences
so far as salary legislation
affecting classified employees is
concerned because the prompt
enactment of postal pay legis-
lation will clear the decks for
enactment Of the proposed
classified pay legislation"
The letter was signed by Re-
publican Representative Cum
bingham of Nebraska, Broyhill
Of Virginia, Gross of Iowa,
Corbett of Pennsylvania, Pelly
Of Washington, and Baldwin OF
California. The first four are
members of the House Civil
Service Committee. Mr.. Corbett
is one of the House conferees
on the postal pay-rate legis-
lation.
Although the letter was ad-
dressed to the Senate Majority
Leader. the House members
privately are blaming Chair
man Johnston Of the Senate
Civil Service Committee for the
delay in getting started on the
postal pay-rate conference.
Johnston's Attitude
Senator Johnston, while
strongly in favor of Federal
pay raises, has been lukewarm
toward postal rate increases,
particularly the f1ve-cent first
class letter.
A spokesman for Senator
Johnston today denied Senate
responsibility for the delay. He
said the House took nearly
three weeks to appoint its con-
fereeS after the legislation had
been sent to conference. The
fact that Senator Monroney,
Democrat of Oklahoma, bne
Of the Senate's three conferees,
has since left for Europe has
caused the Senate conferees to
wait until his return next week
before going to conference, 1t
was said.
Congress starts it's Easter
recess on April 3 and returns
April IA. The Senate conferees
will be ready at that time to
meet with the House conferees
on the postal pay-rate legiSla-
ton, the spokesman said.
Federal classified and postal
employees will get their pay
raises this year." he declared,
mo one is more anxious to see
that they receive the pay in
creases than we are.'
