This is a period In an en-
ploye's life that presents dras-
tic changes and adjustments,
the NFFE-approved resolution
declared.
Every few employees have
given serious thought or long
range planning to that time
when they must retire." the
resolution noted.
The NFFE asked that pro-
grams be initiated that would
prepare employees for financial
changes that face them on re-
tirement and ways of possibly
supplementing their retirement
Income, as well as instructinG
them on such various topics as
hobbies and interests they may
want to take up, as well as
places they would like to live
1.-The resolution declared that
such a program could be OPP
Grated by Government at very
little cost.
Oppose Social Security
The NFFE convention also
went on record as strongly
opposed TO any move TO extend
social security benefits to Fed
eral workers.
The sentiment was that such
coverage might endanger the
Civil Service retirement system
BENEFITS enjoyed by Government
employees.
The convention also asked
that the mandatory retirement
age for Federal workers be sci
at 10 years after five years Of
service. At present an employs
reaching the age of 10 mus
retire If he or she has Is
years of service. but can con-
tinue on the job If the years
Of service are less than is.
The NFFE also asked that
Congress appropriate additional
money to the retirement sys-
tenn each year to make sure its
financial soundness,
The NFFE further voted OPP
position to any legislation OF
policy which would deny Fed
|eral employees their earned
annuities because of legal diff
Hculties. The NFFE said these
annuitles ARE not a privilege
but q right earned as part Of
the compensation earned by an
individual for services rem
dered." To deprive individuals
of their rightfully earned an
nuities is contrary to the
Constitution the resolution
declared.

ed in other meetings. The goal
would be to consider the whole
Hemisphere as one economic unit,
and thus rescue the Latin Ameri-
can economy from the blind eco
nomic forces surrounding it."
In some cases, as with Argen-
tine President Arturo Frondizi,
there is complete agreement with
the Brazilian Chief Executive.
That agreement of viewpoints
was shown during Frondizi's presi.
dental campaign, when he said he
was ready OF engage in any efforts
in support of any initiative tend
ing to consolidate American friend.

"Frondizi considers that the
agenda in a presidential meeting,

tending to strengthen the economic

points out.
"He stressed the fact that this
will permit the peoples of America
to fully enjoy human rights and
the benfits of freedom"

meeting of foreign ministers pro-
posed in Washington on April 16
by Colombian Foreign Minister
Carlos SAM de Santamaria."
He added that his Government
feels that there is now a situation
propitious to revision "of certain

Cuban President Fulgencio Ba-
tista believes that a meeting of for
eign ministers, with technicians
and advisors, would be more con-
venient, while Chilean President
Ibahez virtually rejects Kubitschek

ment has expressed the opinion
that problems should be solved
through the GAS agencies.
Ecuadorean President Ponce En-

President Lemus of Ell Salvador
favors the Chief Executives meet

oR1ENTATIoN WORK OF THE PRESS

1t is of fundamental interest for society to have an
independent press, SO that it may point out, in honest COM
mentS, the ways of convenience to the community, to the
civic organizations, and to commercial, cultural or political
groups whose activities reflect in the field of public interest.
In discharging this high mission, the press should
endeavor to point out the problems of local, national or
international character in the best possible manner, express
sing responsible opinions, which, it not a complete qua
rantee Of good judgment, is at least evidence OF good faith.
On their part, the people have the duty to be tolerant
toward the, attitude of Independent press, in the sense OF
encouraging the free expression of opinions, even when
they are not, necessarily, shared by all. From the free play
of opinions emerges the necessary light for the solution OF
collective problems. Those who are intranSigent, those who
want the newspapers to say only what is convenient for
them, even when this violates the truth, or principles of
moral order are diSregarded, are not living up to their civic
duty to encourage the objective diffusion OF all ideas, pro-
viding they do not affect the ethical life of the community.
This kind of elements some times obtain, with their pres
sure on commentators, that the latter do not feel with COM
plete liberty that indispensable democratic liberty to
express their opinions, to point out errors and to indicate
formulas of rectificatiOn.
That type of intransigent person is found both in the
ranks of the Government and in the opposition, regarding
political matters, as they are found also in the different
fields of human activity. All of them, with their conduct,
constitute ~retarding factors for the community, since, in
one way or another, according to their resources, influence
or apabiity, they try to put obstacles to the healthy work
of O~rientatiOn that the independent press can achieve,
when, with good intentions, it accOmplishes Its social mis-
sion of expressing responsible opinion. The political, So
cial, economic and cultural problems must be presented in
a clear and honest manner, so that those who directly have
to solve them, as well as the people in general, who are
indirectly involved in them, may find with less difficulty
the road to success.

Dr.. Eisenhower Reported Planning
Trip TO Central America Saturday

WASHINGTON. (UPD.-It was
reported in diplomatic circles that
DR.. Milton Eisenhower, the Presi-
dents brother, has planned in
principle his departure for Cen
trail America and Panama for next
Saturday. His trip was postpon-
ed once.
The President is sending his
brother, who is President of John
Hopkins University, as his perso-
nal representative in a good will
trip.
Originally the visit had been
planned for last June, but it was
postponed, according to the State
Department, because a plan salts
factory to all the Governments of
the countries Eisenhower plans to
visit could not be arranged.
Besides Panama, he will visit
Costa RIGA, Nicaragua, Honduras,
Ell Salvador and Guatemala.
Since Vice President Nixon's
trip to South America, there has
been fear that DR.. Eisenhower
could be the object of hostile de-
monstrations in Central America.
But the embassies of the United
States in the six countries have
assured the State Department that
the governments are ready to qua
rantee the personal safety of the
illustrious visitor.
Besides, since Nixon went to
South America, the U. S. has taken
measures aimed at eliminating any
existing tension with Latin Ameri,
ca. For example, it has taken the
initiative in looking for a solution
of the critical problem of coffee
