Macmillan Pleads Case
For Common Market

| LONDON, Aug. 2 (AP).-
Prime Minister Macmillan to-
day declared Britain mu S t
abandon its traditional isola-
ton and unite with the Euro
pean Common Market to face
the challenge Of communism.
Our right place is in the
vanguard of the movement to-
ward the greater unity of the
free world" he told the House
of Commons. I'VE can lead
better from within than from
outside. I am persuaded we
ought to try"
Speech Opens Debate
His speech marked the OPEN
ing of a two-day debate on the
British decision, announced last
Monday, to apply for member
ship in the six-nation Common
Market.
Mr.. Macmillan noted that
Britain had long entertained a
tradition of isolation and sus-
picion of foreigners.
Nevertheless" he said. "it is
worth recalling that in every
period when the world has been
in danger from a tyrant or ag-
gresSion, Britain has abandoned
isolationism."
The House is expected to ap-
prove Mr.. Macmillan's move
despite opposition from some of
the ruling Conservatives as well
as many Laborites. The way
then will be cleared for Britain
to open negotiations with the
Common Market nations
France, West Germany, Italy,
Belgium, The Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
Assurances Given
Il
Mr.. Macmillan repeated as
Surances he gave when the de-
ciSion was first announced
that no final step towards
membership will be taken be-
fore negotiations designed to
protect Britain's special in
terests.
These are its preferential
Commonwealth trade system
and the welfare of British ag-
riculture which has price sup
port not possible under the laws
Of the Common Market.
Mr.. Macmillan praised the

feature is the reconciliation of
France and Germany"

THE Civil Service Commission
Is soliciting the views of the
various Government and postal

can be reached by the admins

which would give Federal en-
p1oyes the option of gaining
complete social security cover
age in addition to their civil
service retirement benefits by
paying the social security tax.
..They feel that in some cases
this would give employees on
retirement a greater income
than their salaries brought
them while actively employed
Also, they feel that many low
salaried employees could not af-
foFd the approximately 10 pei
cent contribution of salary that
combined civil service retire
nient and social security cover
age would entail. And they feel
it would be too costly for the
Government.
Rather, administration Of

might better be covered by ar
interchange of credits between
the civil service retirement
system and social security
whereby Federal employees, par.

so that on retirement employees
would get better retirement
benefits than they now receive
although not on the scale pro-
posed by the Teller bill. It
also could give them what
ever health insurance benefits
might ultimately be enacted
into law for those covered by
social security.
Under such a co-ordinated
system, the civil service retire.
ment system would continue as
an independent system. The
62 per cent of salary the Gov
ernment now pays for their
retirement benefits would most
likely remain the same under
co-ordinated coverage.

OFFICIAL REGISTER-The
Senate has approved funds to
resume publication of the an
nual Official Register which
carries the names, legal resi-
dence and salaries of Gov
ernment career and appointive
officials. The action came in
passage of the 1862 Independ-
ent Offices bill.
Publication of the Official
Register was suspended last
year. Various Senators criti-
cized this action, declaring it
denied the public and Con-
greSs the right to know who
holds which jobs. Actually,
Congress in the past has found
the Official Register an excel
lent source to see which OF
their constituents were holding
down choice jobs.
The issue now goes to House
Senate conference. The House
approved bill did not contain
funds for resumption of the
Official Register.
