american Life
Span Longer

The lengthening American span
of life is apparent at the Prescott,
Arizona social security office. In
1862 the office processed 1874
claims for old age insurance bene-
fits, and 348 claims for disability
insurance benefits. The total
claims processed in 1852 were SAB.
The rate Of growth since that year
has been 500 per cent.
Monthly social security benefits
were first paid in 1910. Since
then, the number of beneficiarieS
has increased every year. es-
pecially the number of old age
beneficiaries. In 1862 over 1 r.
million persons were added to the
benefit rolls. Monthly benefits
were increased by more than Ill
million dollars. Today 18 million
men, women and children are re-
ceiWng LIZ billion dollars a month
in social security benefits.
This increased life span means
that more people live longer and
have more years of productivity.
Also. more people live to collect
their old age insurance benefits
and enjoy more years of re-
tiremenf.

concessions which have weak
ened this Nations position. I'VE

bit in return" he said.
He criticized those who In
sist on civil rights without civil

go a long way toward the de-

The highest human right in
the world is the right of private

right, you destroy every human

Referring to charges that he

Among the suggestions Mr..
Reuther made. Mr.. UT said,
was that the Government
should publish a list Of donors
to conservative organizations
and investigate income tax re-
ports to see If donors to these
groups are deducting their con-
tributions.
They are never concerned
about contributions to the Fund

A well-known research or
ganization called today on
Government and industry to
shake UP their business prac-
tices in the interests Of giving
the taxpayer more for his
money in aircraft, missiles and
space hardware.
The report, prepared by the
Stanford Research Institute
under a 5000 grant from
the Aerospace Industries Asso-
citation, fired barbs at both
partners In what 1t called the
industry Government aero
space Relationship"
This Relationship - which
the Stanford group spelled
with a capital R-"is not Just
a simple buyer-seller associa-
tion," George Hayes, the in
stitute's planning director said
at q news briefing yesterday.
The aeroSpace industry
had SIC. billion worth Of busi-
ness last year. Eighty-five per
cent Of this, roughly $l4 billion,
was with the Government.
Reverse Monopoly
AS. q result Of this virtual
reverse-monopoly with a num-
Der Of sellers, but substantially
only one buyer, the industry
has long felt itself unduly
subject to the whims Of Gov
ernment regulators.
The picture the Stanford
group painted Of "the Relation
ship" was one Of overregulation
and ineffective administration
by the Government and "over-
management" and wheel-spin-
ming by industry.
The report pointed out that
inefficiency In "the Relation
ship" was Of national signifi-
canoe because the aerospace in
dustry's output represents 3 per
cent If the gross national prod
uct and an even greater share
of manufacturing volume and
employment.
As has been widely recog-
nized for years, the report en-
phasized that aeroSpace con-
tracts are not always awarded
on a normal business basis.
"Socio- economic objectives"

and location and relative eff
cheney Of this industrial opera
ton have become matters of
