The administration tenta-
lively has decided against
seeking dual social security
coVerage for Federal employees
next year.
Although the Social Security
Administration has been work.
= ing on plans for some kind of
social security coverage for
Federal workers in addition to
their regular civil service re-
tirement benefits, action by
Congress will probably not be
. sought until later.
One reason for the tentative
decision is the GOODNESS of the
large postal employe unions.
Postal leaders feel that most
postal workers couldn't afford
d to pay the additional deduc-
tions from their salaries for
social security. They feel that
the objectives of social security
coverage can best be obtained
within the framework of the
. civil service retirement sys-
, tenn.
. The American Federation of
, Government Employees and the
, National Federation of Federal
Employees have gone on record
. in favor Of supplemental social
security coverage. But the op-
. position of the politically pow
, erful postal employe groups
& has discouraged administration
d officials from seeking action on
& such a proposal next year.
:. MURRAY'S PLANS-During
this past session, Chairman
!. Murray of the House Civil
Service Committee told friends
/ he was considering retiring
. from Congress at the end o1

nor said, well, it's absurd.
He said he plans to complete
his current term and to run for
reelection next year. He said
he is already drafting cam
paign plans and cited a meet
ing Of leaders scheduled in AL
bany December 81.
He was interviewed by a New
York radio station before leav-
ing for a Governors meeting
in Princeton, N. J.
Republican leaders in the
State backed up the Governors s
statement. Gov. Rockefeller
has also been widely men,
toned as potential G. o. P.
nominee for President in 1864.
Reports have been circu-
lating for more than a week
Evening star., 1961-12-13

that Gov. Rockefeller would not
seek reelection.
In a copyrighted story last
night, the New York Daily
News said the Governor had
informed top G. o. P. leaders of
his intention not to run again
and Of the possibility he might
even resign before his term
ended. --.
Denial Published
In subsequent editions, the
News also published Gov.
Rockefeller's denial.
The News said Gov. Rookie
feller's decision was based on
the belief his impending di-
vorce will make it all but i'm
possible. even If he gains the
Republican nomination, to de-
feat an entrenched John F.
Kennedy in 1854"
The article continued:
In addition, Rockefeller is
described as still deeply shaken
by the tragic loss of his adven-
turous 23-year-old son, Michael.
last month in New Guinea.
"Rockefeller's present plan,
as reported, calls for him to
press during the next session
of the Legislature, commencing
January 2, for enactment of his
legislative program and to an
nounce his resignation after
the sessions closing. which is
usually late in March"
Called Untrue
Robert L, McManus, the
Governors press secretary, said
Of the story: This is complete
ly untrue. I have just spoken
to the Governor. and he au-
thorized me to say that"
G. o. P. State Chairman L.
JudSon Morhouse said, The
report is completely without
foundation and fact. 1t is nom
sense"
In Washington, Republican
National Chairman William E.
Miller said:
II know nothing about this.
The last time I talked to Gov.
Rockefeller he was a candidate
for reelection, and I'm asSum-
ing he still is. and I expect he
will be reelected Governor"

The Kennedy administration
is nearing a politically touchy
decision that could eliminate
eight or ten Army National
Guard and Reserve divisions,
informed sources said today.
Backers Of the plan believe
the resulting reshuffle of man
power would permit building
the remaining Guard and Re-
serve divisions close to full
Reserve divisions close to full
strength. thus making them
more ready for active duty if
needed. l.
| The thinking reported is that.
I the better rated divisions would
be kept on the rolls, and the
poorer ones dropped.
There now are 27 Guard divi-
sions. two of them on active
duty, plus 10 Reserve divisions.
There may be some reduction
in the number Of Guardsmen
and reservists receiving drill
pay.
Slash Opposed
Anticipating the move, Ma
tional Guard and Reserve asso-
Citations are preparing to rally
congressional support in a fight
to black any slash in divisions.
i Past administrations, both
Democratic and Republican,
have tried to make changes in
the National Guard structure.
Congress always has stepped in
and prevented any such action.
The matter has been under
study for months, but the sx-
i perience of the Berlin crisis
military butldup has given the
idea new impetus.
