today urged the establishment
of an Institute of Aging Re-
search within the National
Institutes of Health.
The institute-which would
be the eighth such research
center at NIH-was recon-
mended to the White House
Conference on Aging by sec
tions on research in the medical
sciences, biology. and the psy-
Geological and social sciences
DR.. Stanley Mohler, spokes-
man for the first two groups
said the proposed institute is
necessary to meet the demands
caused by lack of research in
gerontology.
Such an institute, DR.. Mohlel
said. probably would cost about
$40 million. and would be run
on administrative lines similar
to those in the other sever
institutes at NH.

the full support Of all the
scientists present, many o.
whom hold leading positions d

OAS Considering Aid
To Dominican Republic

the first half OF 1862. At United
States premium prices, that
amounts to approximately $35
million for six months, or a
profit Of $l5.5 million over what
the same amount of sugar

world market.
These officials estimate that
the Dominican Republic lost
about $3l million during 1861
because the United States re-
fused TO allow it to share in
the Cuban windfall.
Secretary General Mora said
that intensive work was con-
tinuing within the OAS secre-

Plans for social and economic
development, Mr.. Mora said
are going forward in co-opera-

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Studyto Compare Fringe Benefits
Of Industry and Government

than industry's, the trend had
been reversed and industry
benefits had caught up and in
some cases surpassed that of
the Government.
/ However, the Cordiner groups
conclusions were based on in
dividual observations of its
members and not on any CO.
ordinated figures or data on an
industry-wide basis.
The Forthcoming BIS study
will be a comprehensive and
extensive one of industry fringe
benefits which will give official
validity to it's findings. 1t un-
doubtedly will be used by the
administration and the Con-
gress in comparing industry
versus Government fringe
benefits.
The BIS study also will de-
termine how much industry
employees contribute for their
fringe benefits.
Federal employees contribute
612 per cent of their salaries
for their retirement benefits,
two-thirds of the cost of life
insurance. one-half or more of
the costs for their health insur-
ance premiums, etc. While any
comparison in this matter must
await the BIS study, the
Cordiner group found that few
private industry employees pay
that much for their fringe
benefits.

PARIS, Dec. 21,-Underlying
all the immediate decisions that
may be taken at Bermuda is
one decision Of really major
Importance that is being i'm
posed with increasing urgency
on the Kennedy administra-
tion.
To put it very bluntly, this
decision is whether or not the
United States is going to CO.
operate with the new Europe
that is emerging or whether it
is going to fight it. Whether
in the interests of the United
States the unity of Europe
should be encouraged or dis
couraged. Whether a serious
attempt to coordinate Western
policy is to be made or
whether separate and conflict
ing courses should be laid.
This is less. perhaps. a mat
ter of alternatives than of
resolving the apparent con-
flicts within the administra =
ton itself. There is on the
one hand a very obvious aware
ness of the new forces that
are coming into being in Eu-
rope and the desire to accom-
modate American policy to
them. And on the other is
the equally obvious irritation
with French President Charles
de Gaulle and the determina-
ton that France should not be
permitted to exercise any sort
of veto over American foreign
policy-particularly when it
comes to the question of deal
ing with Russia.
De Gaulle Aid Needed
About one point. at least,
there can be no doubt what
ever. For the time being, CO.
operating with Europe means
cooperating with Gen. de
Gaulle. The heart of European
policy in the foreseeable fu-
;ure lies in the very close un-
derstanding that exists be-
tween France and Germany on
all essential policy questions
1t would be a very grave mis-
take to exaggerate any SEEM

The Kennedy administration
has ordered a study comparing
the fringe benefits Of Govern
ment employees with those OF
employees in industry.
The White House and Budg-
ct Bureau directed the Bureau
of Labor Statistics to come up
with the compatibility figures
the same as it has been doing
the past few years on Govern
ment classified employe pay
and industry salaries.
This fringe benefit study
which probably will become an
annual report, could have great
impact not only on Federal
employe future fringe benefits
and what they pay for them
but on their salaries as well.
The increasing trend in re-
cent years in contracts nego-
tiated by unions with industry
has been greater emphasis or
fringe benefits as part of the
overall pay package. Thus, sal
aries alone are not the only
criteria of the total benefits
and compensation drawn BY
employees.
Consequently, future Fedora
salary adjustments - and {
