Two Factors
Blamed for
Trade Jitters
BY JACK LEFLER
Associated Press Business Writer

Associated Press Business Writer
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Busi-
ness came down with a case of
jitters last week.
Apprehension over the inter-
national situation and the out
look for the domestic economy
combined to bring on the nerv-
BUSINESS.
There were some drab de-
velopments in a number of
segments of the business struc-
ture.
With steel production only
$50 per cent of capacity, COM.
pared with SO per cent last
week, it appeared that chances
of September output making
its usual advance over August
were slim. And steel men in
dicated only a small rise is in
the books for October.
International Harvester Co.
announced plans to close six
farm equipment plants and
three construction equipment
facilities, idling 1900 workers
for two to five weeks.
Chrysler Corp. planned to lay
off 5000 employees by October
4 because of big supplies OF
cars in dealers hands. Penn
sylvania Railroad furloughed
5000 workers. American Enka
Corp, textile manufacturer
employing 4.150 in North Caro-
lima. discharged 100 salaried
employees and cut wages of the
rest.
Automobile production is
spinning along at a swift pace
with an estimated 117,000 pas

week, compared with 82,024

The fight over medical care
for the aged this year has OBJ
scured the fact that, at the
close. Congress did pass not
only a compromise medical care
bill but also legislation liberal
izing the social security law.
The social security changes are
affecting and will affect mil
lions of Americans.
To help eliminate costly ig-
norance, in this and the next
two columns you'll find a simple
analysis of the 1860 social secu-
rity amendments.
Disabled Workers Benefits
Until now a disabled worker
and his dependents could not be
paid monthly disability insur-
ance benefits until he reached
age so.
AS of now, a disabled worker
can collect disability insurance
benefits no matter what his
age, and as a result of this
change in the law around 250,-
900 people-disabled workers
under so years of age and GER
tain of their dependents-will
become eligible for the first
time for social security bene-
fits. There is no question that
these are people most desper-
ately in need of assistance
and younger disabled workers
are much more likely to have
families dependent on them
than workers who are so years
of age OF older.
To qualify for disability in
Surance benefits, the worker
must be so severely disabled
that he is unable to engage in
any substantial gainful actlv-
ity." He also must have worked
under social security for at
least five years out of the 1C
years before he became dis
abled.
If you are a disabled worker
under so and already have
had your social security record
frozen" because of your dis
ability. do not get in touch with
your social security Office al
this time. Your district office
has your record and it will
send you a letter before the
end Of october telling you ex-
actly what you should do.

Stiff Provision
Knocked From
Rights Bill
Senate Rejects
Criminal Label on
Defying Injunction
By the Associated Press

oy bu0 ASbOClhLeu FEebS
Southerners in the House
prepared today for an attempt
to kill for good the civil rights
bill section designed to prevent
another Little Rock.
The section was knocked out
of the Senate version of the
bill yesterday afternoon by a
combination of Northern lib
erals and Southerners after it
had been broadened to cover
labor injunctions and other
Federal court orders as well
as intergration measures. It
still exists in the House bill,
however.
House civil rights supporters
say they can block the South
ern move to second the Sen
ate's action. If they succeed and
the Senate passes a bill without
the provision making it a Fed
eral crime to interfere with
Federal court school integration
orders, 1t and the House bill
would have to be reconciled in
conference.
The showdown may come
Monday. Both the House and
Senate were in recess today.
Kill Lausche Move
Yesterday, the Senate first
adopted an amendment offered
by Senator Lausche, Democrat
Of Ohio, to broaden the section
to apply to injunctions in labor
cases and all other Federal
court orders.
Then some strong support
ers of the civil rights bill
teamed up with some South
errers to kill the whole Sec
ton. Labor groups were strong
ly opposed to having the Sec
ton apply to labor injunctions.
Senate Majority Leader
johnson said after yesterdays
session:
THE Senate has demon
strated again that reason pre-
walls and that it will reject
the extremists. I believe now,
as have all along, that the
Senate will pass a good mod
crate bill"
Liberal Opposed
Senator Clark. Democrat Of
Pennsylvania, told newsmen
that the move to table the
whole section stemmed from
the fact that many liberals,
including myself. became con-
vinced that the Attorney Gen.
eral had not made a case" for
it. Senator Clark said the ef-
feet Of the Lausche move would
be Ito clutter it UP with this
anti-labor amendment"
In the House, one Of the lead
ers of the Southern group. Rep
resentative VILLAS, Democrat of
Louisiana, said an amendment
similar to Senator Lausche's
had been prepared for House
consideration regardless of what
the Senate did.

Willis said. But he stopped
short Of predicting similar sue
cess for the Southerners in the

the legislation in different
form, a conference will be nee
essary to iron out the discrep-
ancies-but first the Southern
led House Rules Committee
would have another chance to
delay action.
