retirement plans pose many prob
Il lens for industry. But more than 20 major
US. firms have already put into effect programs
in which employees do not necessarily retire at
65. Among them are such companies as Mime
sofa Mining and Manufacturing, Montgomery
Ward, International Harvester, American Air
lines, American Motors, Consolidated Edison of
New York and the VIM. Wrigley E. Company.
The Wrigley plan, for example, gives a
months leave of absence in addition to regular
vacation to an employee who reaches IS and
wants to keep on working. The following year
he gets two months leave, the third, three, etc.
Says Philip K. Wrigley, company president:
From our eight years experience with the
plan, we have found it successful in accomplish

How some big firms solve the Old-age problem

First. it enables the older employees to
develop new interests and adjust to retirement
living. Second, it gives younger men the oppor-
tunity to take on more responsibility gradually,
while receiving the benefit of the older employ
ees' knowledge and experience"
Such plans are an indication that problems of
retirement are coming more and more to the
fore. Recently, Secretary Of Health, Education
and Welfare Arthur S. Hemming named
group of leading citizens to serve on a special
National Advisory Committee for the White
House Conference on Aging.
And in Atlantic City last month the National
Industrial Advisory Committee and the Amer
lean Ceriatrics Society unanimously passed
resolution urging "a more realistic and flexible
system of retirement for American workers

the role of stress is quite often evident Retire
ment from work often antedates the illness. This
bears out the thesis that of the greatest

have tremendous psychological impact"
The role of stress in aggravating heart disease,
migraine, arthritis and ulcers has been indicated
time after time in both medical and lay magazines.
After extensive examinations of 5000 persons,
DR.. Lawrence E. Hinke, Jr., and Dr. Harold G. Wolff,
of Cornell University Medical College, announced
that they believed that fully Onethird of all human
illnesses - from colds to cancer = can be traced
to mans reaction to his environment. The study
showed that individuals tended to become i'll when
they forced to adapt to difficult situations and
that the greatest number of major Affections were

was unsatisfactory and had the greatest difficulty

Businessmen Hit
LoophoIe in D. c.
JobIess Pay Law

District businessmen last
night called on congressional
action to plug a loophole in
the Districts Unemployment
Act which they claim permits
retired persons to draw unem-
lployment compensation in adj
dition to their retirement
benefits.
In a letter to Senator Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia. who
is chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. the Fed
Grafton Of Businessmen's Asso-
Citations revealed that persons
who have voluntarily retired
from Government and private
agencies request compensation
because they cannot get jobs
because of "age and other
factors"
According to Chester F,
Bletch, federation president,
under the present unemploy-
ment law it is even possible for
professional athletes to re-
ceive unemployment aid be-
cause they are out Of jobs
when their playing seasons are
over.
The businessmen asked Sem
ator Byrd to encourage legisla-
ton requiring all persons re-
questing unemployment COM
pensation to state whether
they are receiving retirement
benefits when they file for
benefits.

The Senate Finance Commit

bill to give self-employed per-
sons a tax benefit on personal

That prediction came today
from Senator Byrd. chairman
of the Finance group. He said
his committee first must COM

ton to increase life insurance
company taxes and to extend a
temporary Federal jobless pay
program.
The House sent the self-em-
ployed bill to the Senate this
week. The same measure died
In the Senate last year after
the House passed 1t.
Senator Byrd said he did not
want to comment on his posi-
ton on the measure at this
time. However. the Treasury
has said the bill would cost $685.
million In annual revenue.
Senator Byrd has been a strong
advocate OF holding down
spending and maintaining rev.
enues in order not to throw
President Eisenhower's budget
too far out Of balance.
The Virginian and other
Senators said they had re-
ceived many letters from doc
tors, lawyers and other self
employed persons urging quick
action on the bill.
The bill would permit such
persons to delay until age IS
payment Of income taxes on
up to 10 per cent of their an
nual income If this were placed
In a retirement fund. There
would be an annual ceiling Of
$4,000 on such increments.
Income taxes would have to
be paid on the pension money
when 1t was withdrawn from
the retirement fund. The beiie-
ficiaries would probably be in
lower tax brackets at that time.

Hugh Morton, who owns

on a few high mountains, and
has never been successfully
transplanted to lower attitudes.
The plant was noted in l84l
by Asa Gray, American botanist
and Harvard professor, when
he visited Grandfather. and
was named Leiophyllum pros
tratum.
Andre Michauz, the French
botanist, also visited Grand
father back in August, 1894 and
thought he had found the high

for making.
But as far as I know, he
didn't mention the. myrtle. It's
a wonder, too, because I'm sure
he hadn't seen it anywhere else,
and it is certainly noticeable
at that time of the year.
Perhaps he can be excused,
though, for he was too pre-
occupied with the height and
majesty of old Grandfather.
