This stability was particu-
larly unusual" Mr.. Clague told
a news conference. Earnings
normally decline in January
because of post-holiday cut
backs in working time.
This year, however, there
was almost no change in the
work week for all manufac-

Spendable earnings were

In Communist Bulgaria $3.50
month in American dollars is
tidy income. 1t would be
enough to enable Ephram
Nestor, a former painter, to
spend his retirement in rela
tive comfort.
Mr.. Nestor retired" to his
native Bulgaria in 1856, when
he was deported from the
United States because of past
membership in the Communist
Party.
A few months earlier he had
begun collecting his social Sc
curity retirement benefits -
$3.50 a month. The checks
were cut off after his deporta-
ton. Mr.. Nestor contends they
should be resumed.
Listening to the case yester-
day, the Supreme Court probed
spiritedly into the question OF
whether social security is &C.
Itually retirement insurance
with accrued benefits to the
insured or simply another form
Of Federal taxation.
The Government view, ex.
planned by Justice Department
Attorney John F. Davis, is that
the payments assessed agains,

Pension Tax
Bill Draws
New BACKING
BY the Associated Press

The Treasury was reported
today to be altering its stand
on a House-passed bill which
would permit self employed
persons to set up tax-deductible
retirement funds.
The administration opposed
the bill in testimony before the
Senate Finance Committee last
year, charging 1t would bring
a 1856 million revenue loss.
1t was reported that the
Treasury is preparing a lette.
to the committee which might
somewhat modify the opposi-
ton.
Congressional sources said
the Treasury would suggest
that self-employed persons be
put on an equal footing with
corporations which now can
deduct from taxes their share
of the cost of pension plans
although the employee must pay
income taxes on his contribu-
ton.
The draft letter was UNDER
stood also to propose that self
employed who are given a tax
break on their retirement pro-
grams should be required to set
up pension plans for their Of
nee employees.
Under the House version. the
self-employed person could put
up to $4,000 a year in a tax
free retirement fund, but would
pay taxes on the income from
the fund after he retired. Cen
orally this levy would be at a
lower rate than when the
money was earned.
Doctors, lawyers and Others
have been urging passage OF
the bill.

paredness Committees.
When he appeared before
the groups earlier this year,
ne presented what some Demo-
Gratis interpreted as a less
optimistic view than that of
some military men on the
American position in the mis-
sile race. Some of the sub
committee Democrats promptly
said the Dulles testimony left
them confused.
The chairman of the two
groups. Democratic Leader
johnson, said after yesterdays
session that Mr.. Dulles pre-
sented some new material that
may prove helpful to commit
teemen after study. Senator
johnson added:
But I could not say the
confusion has been clarified. =.
1t is amazing how difficult it
is to get a simple statement
of facts"
Senators Saltonstall. Repub-
llcan of Massachusetts, and
Case, Republican of New Jer-
sey. joined in saying Mr.. Dulles
had removed all confusion.
Senator's Comment
Senator Saltonstall said Mr..
Dulles had clarified his earlier
testimony. Senator Case said
Mr.. Dulles has never been
confused in his testimony OF
confused anybody" He said
Mr.. Dulles made no major
changes yesterday in the basic
intelligence data he originally
presented.
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri. said the new
testimony confirms the fact
there is no Justification for
elimination of the 81, or re-
duction of the gap, ratio"
Russia last year was estimated
to have a 81 lead over the
United States in missiles.
Senator Cannon, Democrat
of Nevada, said there was no
presentation that the mis-
,sile gap has lessened." He
said Mr.. Dulles offered esti-
mates only on Soviet missiles
and strength, while those on
United States strength came
from other sources.
Twining Testimony

new testimony removed pos
sible misunderstanding between
Mr.. Dulles previous statements

Russell Doubts
Vote on Rights
BY J. A. OLEARY
star stan Writer

Senator Russell, Democrat OF
Georgia. expressed grave doubt
today that Senate leaders will
be able to force q vote on civil
rights if the rules are properly
interpreted.
He indicated that a group OF
Southern opponents have un-
der consideration the POSSIBLE
ity Of challenging use Of the
anti-filibuSter cloture rule. il
it is invoked. He also told re-
porters he does not believe you
can wear down a determined
group of men" by around-the-
clock sessions, which leaders
have ordered to start Monday.
The leaders have not de-
cided to resort to cloture,
which. If adopted by two
thirds vote, would limit each
Senator to one hour of debate
They hope instead to reach
a vote by requiring the opposi-
ton to speak continuously day
and night.
Ground for Challenge
If cloture should be invoked
and challenged. the challenge
would be on the ground that
under cloture all amendments
must be germane, and in this
case the Senate is trying to at
tach civil rights to q non
germane House bill.
Ordinarily there is no re-
quirement of germaneness in
the Senate, but 1t Is written
into the cloture rule.
Should a dispute arise over
the cloture rule, Vice President
Nixon would have a chance to
play an important role in the
civil rights battle by ruling on
any point of order. His ruling
would then be subject to q
vote Of the Senate.
Mr.. Nixon, who is almost GER
tain to be the Republican pres
idential nominee, made history
once before in the civil rights
field when he handed down an
opinion from the chair in Janu-
airy, 1857. In that opinion he
agreed with civil rights advo-
Gates that the Senate has a
right to adopt new rules at the
beginning Of each new Con-
gresS, and that one provision Of
the old rules was unconstitu-
tional.
Erwin Hits Tactics
AS the Senate went back into
session at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, after running until ll:09
last night. Senator Erwin, Dem
ocrat Of North Carolina.
charged that leaders Of both
parties are trying to "physi-
cally and mentally exhaust the
Southerners" before the real
civil rights debate begins.
Senator Erwin contended that
the real debate will not take
place until after the House
passes a bill in mid-March, and
he appealed to Democratic
Leader johnson Of Texas and
Republican Leader Dirksen Of
Illinois to reconsider their or

Deportee BenefitCIoim

pointed out that the word "in-
surance" is used repeatedly in
the Social Security Act.
If the retirement BENEFITS
could be taken away from a de-
ported alien, he suggested, they
could be taken away from other
workers who pay into the fund
in the assumption the Govern
ment is going to take care Of
them in their old age.
Mr.. Davis conceded that this
is technically correct. He also
conceded that cutting off Mr..
Nestor's checks would be I'M
constitutional if the action were
intended as a punishment or
penalty.
This appeared to be the
weakest link in the Govern
ment's case and the one that
may restore Mr.. Nestor to social
security rolls. His attorney,
David Rein of Washington,
noted that there would, have
been no question about his
clients eligibility to receive the
retirement checks If he had
moved to Bulgaria of his own
volition.
At issue is a 1854 act of Con-
gress which provided specific
ally for stopping social security
payments to aliens deported
because of Communist Party
membership. UNFOLDING the
claim Of Mr.. Nestor last De-
cember, District Judge Edward
I. Tamm held the law to be
unconstitutional.
