Mrs. Francine Temko, the

mated that 20 of them could

In the autumn Of 1855 I

This journalist had been in

Meet 10 Study
plan for Merqer
BY the Associated Press

The United Textile Workers
Union. on AFL-CIO probation
because Of corruption charges,
opens a special convention to-
day amid mounting prospects
for a merger with an old foe.
Leaders of the 40,000-mem-
Der UTW and the rival Textile
Workers of America were dis
closed last night to have signed
an agreement pointing toward
a merger. The TWU represents
200. 900 textile workers.
A statement reporting the
agreement called a merger
necessary and fundamental to
the best interests of the mem
berships of both organizations. "
The agreement was reached
during a meeting of leaders
of both unions with James B.
Carey and Lee w. Minton, two
AFL-CIO vice presidents ap-
pointed by the labor federation
to seek a merger of the two
long-feuding unions.
Although the agreement
doesn't represent an official
merger it commits officials of
both unions to work for it.
They agreed to meet again
March 26 with Mr.. Carey and
Mr.. Minton for further merger
talks.
The UTW's three-day con-
vention is the result of a UTW
agreement made last December
to escape expulsion from the
AFL-CIO. The union agreed
then to elect new officials and
adopt ethical practices codes.
The unions former presi-
dent. Anthony Valente. and
former secretary-treasurer,
Lloyd Klenert, quit under fire
after the Senate Rackets In
vestigating Committee charged
they misused union funds.

Robert F. Kennedy, chief

dicted the hearings would run
well into April unless the ques-

already have lasted three
weeks. They were in recess
today until Monday.
The committee is trying TO

New Chamber President
Sees Slump Half Over
By FRANCIS p. DOUGLAS
Star stan Writer

William A. Mcdonnell, pres
ident-elect of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, believes
the current business recession
is about half over.
He said yesterday, after his
election by the chambers board
of directors. that he believes
the recession should be short
lived. He added the proviso
that we do not get panicky
about it and do too much too
soon"
Doing too much. he added,
would provide an excessive
stimulus which would SOW the
seeds of imitation and cause dis
locations and hardships later
on.
Mr.. Mcdonnell is chairman
of the board of the First Ma
tional Bank in st. Louis. The
first banker chosen to head the
national chamber since 1927,
he will succeed Philip M. Tai
bolt of Washington. Mr.. Nc
Donell takes Office April 20,
and Mr.. Talbot will then be-
come board chairman.
Mr.. Mcdonnell is a native of
Arkansas and is SO years old.
See Cure in Market Place
"The recession is going to be
cured in the market place
rather than on Capitol Hill, "
Mr.. Mcdonnell said. I'm the
past. the way recessions have
been cured was by price re-
auctions.
He said price cuts at the
retail level have been appear
ing. He added that in st. Louis
and elsewhere an automobile
can be purchased for cash at
much less than the list price,
and automobiles appear to have
been priced out of the market.
In response to a question, he
said the manufacturers can
help by price cuts if it does not
wipe out profits.
He said a tax cut would be a
massive stimulus to bring us
out of this recession. But he ex-
planned that he supports the
national chambers position for
tax revision" which would
provide cuts for both the high
and low brackets.
FavOrs Incentives to Risk
He explained that proposals
for raising taxpayers exemp-
tons would take about IA mil
lion taxpayers out of the tax
paying ranks. He made it clear
he favored a tax revision which
would increase incentives to
take risks and release the
creative abilities of tile people.
Listing factors making for
recovery, he cited the reduction

Summit-Peoce Bofroge Seen as Cover
For Plans in Asia and Middle East
DOROTHY THOMPSON

1t has occurred to this COL
umnist that Russia does not
want a summit conference at
all. Certainly the last note
from Nikolai Bulganin to
President Eisenhower is not
a missive that any state
would address to a rival
great power if it seriously
wished to enter negotiations.
1t was a note that any
strong and self-respecting
state would reject. And
since the Russian leaders
know the strength and
temper of this country, they
must have been well aware
of the reception it would
receive. Ergo. they intended
that it should be rejected.
For the note was, in fact.
an ultimatum. The argument
goes: There must be a sum-
NIT meeting-not later than
June. The urgency suggests
a matter of life and death!
The foreign ministers may
meet in advance, but they
can discuss nothing of sub
stance. The summit must
deal only with issues set by
the Soviets themselves. The
Soviet viewpoint on these
issues is reiterated as i'm
mutable.
So, what is to be discussed
at the summit? Is the PreSi-
dent invited to appear to
sign on the dotted line-with
the added impertinence that
Bulganin and Co. would even
be so gracious as to spare the
President the trip and come
to Washington to pick up the
check-made out and certi-
fed to the USSR!

es will be described. This article IS a summary of the most impor- tant changes designed to streng- then the Federal social insurance system which provides partial protection against loss of earned income upon the retirement, death, or total disability of the worker.
 Most monthly benefit checks will be about seven percent high CT, with a minimum increase of at least $3 in the amount payable to a worker who retired at age 65 or later. People now on the beneficiary rolls do not have to get in touch with the social se- curity office to obtain these bene- fit increases. The larger amounts are effective with January and will show up on benefit checks for that month which will go in the mails early in February.
 Benefit amounts are figured from working persons average earnings. Right now, only earn ings up to a total of S42O0 in a year can be credited to a work er's social security account. Be- ginning with 1859, however, earn ings up to $4300 will be creditable and taxable for social security purposes.
 Social security taxes will in crease beginning with 1859. An employed person will have 2la percent taken out of his pay in- stead of the present 2A percent; his employer will contribute 21a percent also. Self-employed peo- pie will pay an increased rate which amounts to 3s4 percent of net earnings Up to $4800, payable with the tax return they make early in 1860.

YOU AND YOUR SOCIAL. SECURITY
Questions and Answers

Q. II am a widow 62 years of age. My husband was fully in- sured when he died and I have been told that I can receive wid- oW's benefits. However, am gainfully employed and earning about $3o0O year and have been for several years. If I quit work now and accept my widows bene- fits, would they reduce the bene- fits that I could receive at 65 based on my own work?
 A: Probably not. The fact that you draw a widows benefit prior to age 65 would in no way affect the benefit that you would re- ceive at 65, and since in comput- ing your own benefit at 65 we can drop out as many as five of your poor earnings years, the period between now and the time you reach age 65 should not adversely affect your own benefit in any way.
 Q: Why does the Social Secur- ity Administration base the so- ciaI security benefit on the last two years of a persons work rather than Oh his earnings bell. fore that date?
 #A..It appears that you have been misinformed, as this is not the way social security benefits are computed. Benefits are figur- ad on the average earnings of an individual either from 1887 until he reaches retirement age or from 1851 until he reaches retirement age In both cases, up to five years of a persons lowest or no earnings years can be disregard ed and not figured in the aver age.

 Changes in Social Security
 Some important changes have been made in the old-age and survivors insurance program as a result of the Social Security Amendments of 1858 which Presi- dent Eisenhower signed into law on August 28, 1858.
 All changes, directly or indi- rectly, affect the American public as whole. Working persons employed and self-employed need to know about them; their families need to know about them.
