ALI Committee
Switch Surprises
BY the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee today pigeonholed
President Eisenhower's request
for increased interest rates on
iong-term Government securi-
ties and z and H savings
bonds.
The action constituted a sur
prising reversal of committee
approval last week of a compro-
mise plan granting the Presi-
dent three-year temporary au-
thority to raise rates if 10
found the national interest re-
quired it.
Compromise Tabled
BY a l4-11 vote of the Is
member committee, the COM
promise was tabled and pros
poets of further legislative &C.
ton this session were virtually
killed.
All of the committee DEM
ocrats with the single exception
of Representative Harrison,
Democrat Of Virginia, voted to
shelve the interest rate legis-
lation. Voting against it were
the 10 committee Republicans
and Mr.. Harrison.
Leaders Accused
Republicans accused DEM
ocratic leaders of fiscal ir-
responsibility" in refusing to
act on Mr.. Eisenhower's re-
quest for repeal Of the present
Az per cent interest rate
ceiling on Government bonds
maturing in five years or more
Representative Curtis, Rebuff

the issue to the floor because
it would not pass.

sible," he asserted.

in a little further" He also said
he would not characterize the
decision to publish the report as
pressure"
He said the President merely
decided the facts are Of "suffi-
Gent interest" to warrant publi-
cation.
Asked whether the report will
favor either the companies OF
the union, he replied that at
will be for the public to judge.
Mr.. Mitchell, with the Pres
ident's concurrence. has been
serving as a factfinder in the
strike and has been making
frequent reports to the Presi-
dent. When Mr.. Mitchell an
nounced his fact finding mis-
sion last month. he said circum-
stances would determin e
whether the President would
make the facts public.
Republican Senators Javits
of New York and Aiken Of Ver-
mont. yesterday called for pub
lication of the data gathered
by the Secretary. Mr.. Mitchell
would not say whether today's
decision to publish the report
was in response to the Javits-
Aiken request.

Health Bill
EurIy Floor Action
Sought on Benefits
For U. S. Workers
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star star Writer

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today approved the
Government employee health
insurance bill. The vote was
unanimous.
Already approved by the Sem
ate. the measure would pro-
vide both basic and major type
health insurance benefits for
Government workers and their
families. The program would
start next July /.
Chairman Murray said he
will move to bring the bill up
in the House as quickly as pos
sible under suspension of the
rules. Under this procedure,
approval Of the House Rules
Committee is not needed.
The House committees bill
modified the Senate measure in
a number Of respects. but bas-
ically the detectives are the
same.
Cost Is Shared
Both the House committee
and the Senate bill provide that
the Government and its en-
ployes split the cost of the pro-
gram on a $3.50 basis.
The Senate set a maximum
bi-weekly premium for en-
ployes Of $4.25 for those mar.
ried and SITS for those single.
The House committee went
along with the maximum fig
ures but set a minimum biz
weekly contribution of So for
married employees and SIPS for
those unmarried.
This was done to make sure
that the Government would
contribute at least $3.50 million
a year toward the program in
matching its contributions. so
that q fairly substantial health
insurance program can be Of
fered the employees.
csc Gets Authority
The Senate approved bill
proposed more costly maximum
benefits, but gave the Civil
Service Commission discretion
to settle for less in dealing with
the various health groups and
insurance companies, If there
were not enough funds on hand.
During House com mitteeI
hearings on the bill, admins
tration officials made it plain
that the Government had no
intention of negotiating for the
maximum benefits and would
contract for considerably lower
health insurance benefits under
the loophole given it in the
Senate bill.
Minimum Premiums Set
For this reason the House
group in reporting the bill set
minimum premiums for en-
ployes to force the Government
to make matching contribu-
tons. The House bill does not
set proposed maximum bene-
fits, leaving it to the csc to
negotiate these benefits within
the framework of the premiums
set forth in the bill.
AS in the case of the Senate
bill, the House measure does
not include Federal workers al
ready retired under the pro-
gram.
Government workers retiring
after next July / will be ELI
gible to continue under the pro-
gram providing they continue
their premium payments.

Nassau is the capital of the Bah.
amas and named in honor of Kins
William III, formerly Prince o.
Orange Nassau, in 1895. Nassau
is located on the island of New
Providence and has a population
of about $4,000. The island itself
is 81 miles long and 7 miles wide,
Nassau has come a long way in
the past so years as a resort area
but none of the unique charm of
| the place has been sacrificed. Bay
Street, the main shopping area of
Nassau, still possesses an old world
attractiveness. Colorfully dressed
uniformed policemen direct city
traffic composed of bicycles, horse
drawn carriages and drays and
modern European and American
automobiles. The Nassau police
man is really the trademark of
Nassau. He is colored, wears blue
trousers with a red strip, a white
tunic and a white tropical style
hat. Furthermore he looks mighty
important when he blows his
whistle.
The policeman isn't the only
colorful item about Nassau. You
enjoy a few hrs browsing thru the
picturesque native markets where
women weave baskets, hats etc.
and sell them on the spot. Two
German destroyers were tied up
at the Nassau docks while l was
there and Nassau was full of Ger
man sailors which added to the
color of the city. The Germans
held open house to the public on
their d~estroyers but unfortunately
l did not know this SO l missed an
opportunity to take a free guided
tour thru a German Man of War.
Nassau's famous shopping sec
ton is noted for many bargains
fine merchandise gathered from
all parts of the world. Many of the
shops have preserved an old world
atmosphere that appeals to visitors.
Products from Great Britain such
IS china, silver, crystal, woolens
md other fabrics offer great saw
ngs. French perfumes are an
'ther real good buy. Baskets, hats,
mats and other small articles of
isal or coconut straw are sold in

Several of the stores feature
Bone China, the elite in chinaware.
What is Bone China? Bone China
is a type of China to which has
been added a high percentage of
calcined bone, that is OK bones
that have burned and ground to a
very fine white powder. True Bone
China must have a minimum bone
content of $50; Royal Worcester
Bone China contains 500 calcined

chinas do not have the advantages
inherent in Bone China, superior
whiteness, superior resonance,
Strike the rim and it rings, super
ior craftsmanship and superior
weight. Although thin in body,
Bone China possesses a substan-
tial feel" in the hand.
Another thing l found out in the
shops of Nassau is that the only
glass entitled to be termed crystal
is that which contains a consider
able quantity of lead, not less than
24%.
There are many sightseeing high
lights in this British City awaiting
the tourist and are within easy
reach of the tourist. Fort Montagu
was built in 1741 to guard the
eastern entrance to harbor of Mas
sau. Fort Charlotte over looks
the western entrance to the harbor
and was built in 1887. Fort Fin
castle overlooks the city and was
built in 1898. All 3 forts which
reek with history are open to the
visitors. Then there are other at

the top of Elizabeth Avenue has
