Cruin Bins Are
Hazardous Fairgrounds

1t is just as dangerous for chill
dren to play in bins of shelled corn
as it is for them to wade in a
swirling, swift-moving river ac-
cording to Farm Quarterly re-
port on a safety warning given by
DR.. N. ]. Wardle, associate pro-
fessor of agricultural engineering
at Iowa State University.
"A cornbin presents the same un-
dertow and dangerous pockets that
cause SO many drownings," Dr..
Wardle says. when corn is being
removed from bin suction de-
velOps which can mean certain
suffocation for youngsters and is
also capable of burying man.
after a portion of the grain has
been removed, pocket sometimes
forms in the bottom OF the bin and,
although the top layers look solid,
misstep can trigger a slide that
will put it's victim to the bottom
and pile tons of corn on top of
him."
II you must get in a full grain
bin, tie a rope around your waist
and be sure to have someone on
the other end of it strong enough
to pull you out.

German Reds
Stay Tunne|er

BERLIN, July 7 (AP).-East
Germany announced today its
border guards killed a West
Berliner who was tunneling into
East Berlin.
The East Germans described
five other tunnels which they
said were being built from West
Berlin to slip agents, terrorists
and provocateurS" into the
Red-ruled sector of the CITY,.
The Communists said that.
on June 20, one bandit" was
killed, two wounded and an
other escaped. An East Ger
man border guard was seriously
hurt in the struggle, the Com
munist report said.
The dead mans name was
given as Siegfried Noffke. Die
ter Hoetger of West Berlin and
Juergen Hennig Of East Berlin
were wounded. The name of
the wounded policeman was not
given.
Witnesses reported that day
that East Germans captured
two West Berliners, wounded
one and beat up another as
they emerged from a tunnel
into East Berlin. The East Ger
mans laid a smoke screen to
hide what they were doing but
could be observed from nearby
apartment windows.
Western accounts had only
three people involved in the
incident. The Communist YER
sion distributed today said
there were four.
Details about the tunnels
were given out by the press
office of Premier Otto Grote-
wohl.
The Communists gave what
they said was the exact loca-
tons of the tunnels.

Senate Unit Opens Door
To Money Bills Truce

that the rights and
views of the Senate committee
as a co-equal body should be
considered before striking down
the procedures that have existed
since the formation of our Gov
eminent and the writing Of
new procedures for the future
guidance of Congress"
Copy to President
The Senate committee said
it is sending a copy Of its
resolution offering the COM
promise to the President as
well as congressional leaders.
In answer to questions, Senator
Russell said he saw no i'm
propriety in notifying the Pres
ident even though the problem
is one Congress must settle. He
said the President has an in
terest in passage Of the appro-
priation bills.
Although appropriation bills
have originated in the House
from the earliest days of the
Nation, Senator Russell said
that in 1881 the House Judi
ciary Committee studied the
legal questions involved and
decided that the House and
Senate had co-equal jurisdic-
ton to originate money bills.
He predicted that if the House
would agree to let half the
bills start in the Senate it
would facilitate the work of
Congress and permit earlier
adjournments.
Senator Russell also insisted
that there were practical rea-
sons for having the joint con-
ferences held on the Senate
side. For example, he pointed
out that Senate roll calls &C.
cur more frequently than in
the House and that Senators
have only 10 minutes to reach
the floor before a vote is
completed.
A House roll call may take
from 30-45 minutes to COM
plete and Senator Russell said
a House member could crawl
to the other end of the Capitol
in that time"

tain a private health plan and
have the Government reim-
burse the private carrier for the
minimum benefits he would
otherwise be entitled to get
directly from social security.
Supporters Of the option con-
tend it would help the recipi-
ents to get supplementary bene-
fits and broader coverage from
private plans.
Senator Kerr, a leading OPP
ponent of the social security
compromise, took issue with
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York, yesterday on the
added advantage claimed for
the option.
1t has been brought out in
the debate that while the new
payroll tax for medical care
of one-fourth Of / per cent
each on employer and employee
will not start until January.
1854, some money will be going
into the new medical care trust
fund next year because the
pending bill would increase in
January, 1868, the wage base
on which all social security
taxes are collected.
Base Being Br0adened
The social security tax now
is collected only on the first
$4,000 of annual wages. Start
ing in January the base would
be broadened to collect the taS
on the first $500. This will
increase the tax by $27.50 a
year to a total of $201.50.
This broadening Of the wage
base will have the incidental
effect Of increasing slightly the
monthly old age retirement
benefits for some recipients, in
addition to providing medical
care, since retirement benefits
are based on covered wages.
