BY THOMAS COLLINS

Are you around the age Of
so, and toying with the idea
of retiring early? And do you
want to move away and set
tie near one Of your married
children? And are you afraid
to risk it?
These three questions, ABOUT
in that order, are posing one
of the major retirement di-
lemmas of the l960s. Here
is a case history that may
help some people solve it:
MY husband is 81 years
old this month" the wife
writes, "and I am 81. We are
thinking Of moving to the
California coast where our
daughter-our only child
lives with her family.
MY husband has worked
for a small Midwest firm for
90 years. Eight months ago
the firm was sold, and the
new owner didn't love him, it
seems. They have made his
working hours very difficult
for him, and hold out no hope
for his future.
Formerly, the firm had a
small non-contributory PEN
sion plan. The new owners
refused to accept it, but did
agree to pay small pensions
under certain conditions. Un-
der these conditions my hus-
band will get $68 a month at
age IS, but nothing If he
quits before then.
I'VE have lived frugally
through the years. We bought
a private annuity which will
start paying my husband sos
q month as Of now. We have
accumulated $4,000 in a
savings account; $15,500 in
U. S. Bonds; $500 In stocks;
and $1,100 in cash. We own
our small home :"
Does this couple dare quit?
Should they move near their
daughter2
Move Is Advised
They can afford to quit.
and since they can they
should - rather than spend
these next four precious
years as dead years that are
bringing unhappineSs and
are going nowhere.
The couple can take $35. 900
Of their money (they should
hold the remaining $4,000
for moving and getting ad-
justed) and get an income
of $140 q month for it since
California savings and loan
associations are paying up
to 4.8 per cent return on in
sured savings accounts. The
$140. plus sos on the annuity.
plus a home, would make this
couple richer than most re-
tired people in California.
And in one year for him
and five for the wife-So-
cial Security payments start.
If the husband should die,
the wife still would get the
$l40 q month and have the
home. 1t would be rough, but
she could manage. Let's hope
that he will not die until
her Social Security starts.
Warnings Sounded
Moving halfway across
the country to live near a
married child can-and does
work. But the retired
couple must condition them
selves in advance to roll with
a couple Of punches they are
likely to get. The first one
Is economic, and the second
is social. II the parents find
the daughters family living
on a higher economic scale
than they can afford, they
must settle in a different

be wise. 1t would mean more
money, an interest Of his
own, and the best possible
chance for him and his wife
to make friends Of their own.

the government of the city. The
president has also been reported
as saying that law and order
must be maintained. A state
ment regarded as significant in
view of the fact that the Justice
Department under the u. S. At
torney General has said repeat
edly that nc federal laws are
being violated in Birmingham
Following Tuesday, worst day
of violence, Clarence B. Hanson,
Jr., publisher of the Birming-
ham News appealed to President
Kennedy to halt racial demon
strations in the city. In a teIe-
gram published on the front
page of the News, Hanson said
that daily we risk peril of
grave injury, or even death.
1t all was started, according
to Father Albert S. Foley, Ro-
man Catholic Priest of Mobile,
Alabama to replendish the tres
ury of Rev. Martin Luther
Kings Southern Christian Lead

Thursday to Santo Domingo,
the Dominican capital to dis
cuss the question of the refu-
gees with President Bosch and
continue its investigation.
Informed sources said the
Haitian Government was re-
fusing to let those suspected
OF leading plots against Mr..
Duvalier leave the country but
was willing to allow those con-
sidered lesser conspirators to
60.
Mr.. Duvalier's government is
reported to have made a SINH
lar offer with regard to nearly
100 others who have taken
refuge in the embassies OF Bra
I'll, Chile, Venezuela, and Ec-
uador.
Mr.. Duvalier raised the
threat of new repressions in a
speech Tuesday night to a rally
of 10000 supporters.
Those who are uncertain
about what to do had better
put themselves on my side" he
declared. "At the moment
when it becomes necessary to
90 into the. streets, l will 20
with presidential guards and
popular forces. ;.
"The machine will crush the
opposition"
Tension gripped Haiti's ram
shackled capital.
Four explosions were heard
in the Beau Boeuf section
Tuesday night. Shortly after
units of Mr.. Duvalier's militia
raced through the area and the
sound of firing was heard.
More arrests were reported.
The home of Clement Bar
bot, friend of Mr.. Duvalier
who broke with him and vowed

ernor Wallace sent $50 rio
trained highway patrolmen t
the city with order being re
stored in the downtown sectio,
soon after they arrived.
In mass meeting Tuesday
night, despite the worsening sit
uation, and what appeared as
obvious lack Of sympathy on thu
part Of President Kennedy, Rev
Martin Luther King, said there
would be no let up in the DEM
onstrations until some four de-
mands of Negro leaders have
been met. These demands in
cluded desegregation Of all
lunch counters, equal job op-
portunity, and the creation Of q
permanent bi-racial Committee.
In addressing the state legis-
lature, at about the same time
Gov. Wallace said that every
means will be used to put down
the demonstration and that the
state will resist any interference
from the outside, including the
highest federal authority.
In backing up his statement
the Governor sent an additional
force of state troopers to the
city armed with carbines, ma
chine guns, tear gas, and other
weapons, in preparation to deal
with any emergency that might
arise from bigger demonstra-

tions planned for Wednesday.
On the scene for the past sew
eral days, Burke Marshall, At
torney General Kennedy's chief
trouble shooter, appears to have
gotten nowhere in his efforts
to bring about a peaceful solu-
ton to the crisis. He has how
ever, for the first time, sue
ceeded in having Negro and
white leaders meeting together
in an effort to reach a solution.
During the 38-day demonstra-
ton, including some $50 arrest
ed Tuesday, the arrests now to-
tai more than 5000 with every
conceivable place of detention
being filled to overflowing. Ac-
cording to reports, city authori-
ties are attempting to make ar
rangements with other COM
munities for the housing Of more
anticipated prisoners.
Having already expressed the
fear that the Birmingham DEM
onstrations are hurting rather
than helping the Negro drive
for civil rights the President is
expected to deal further with the
subject in his Wednesday after
noon Press Conference.

He said the bombs could have
been thrown because he recent
ly gave information to police
that led to the arrest Of two
men for selling bolita.

According to Father Foley,
who is chairman of the Alabama
Advisory Commission on Civil
Rights, a high official Of the
King organization told him that
the treasury of the organization
was almost empty and the Bir-
mingham demonstrations were
started as a means Of raising
more money to put in the treas
ury.
Monday, the Executive Board
of the Organization took sharp
issue with Father Foley, deny
ing that such a statement had
been made and charging the
statement as being libelous.
In Tuesday worst day of vio-
lence during the 38-day old DEM
onstratlons, wave of Negroes es-
timated at 5000 converged on
the downtown section of the city
on three different occasions dur
ing the day. On the third inva-
sion they were met by firemen
and police using strong water
hoses. During the insuing vio-
lence when Negroes started
throwing bottles and various
missiles at the firemen and DO
licemen, several firemen and DO
licemen were hit. A Negro
preacher had to be hospitalized
after being knocked down with
water.

according to widely published
reports last week.
In Washington, while the
President and the Attorney Gen.
eral are keeping anxious eyes on
the situation, the President by
his remarks thus far indie ates
that he is not in full sympathy
with what is being done by Ne
gro leaders in Birmingham. Ac-
cording to reports the President
has said that Martin L u h r
Kings activities in Birmingham
are ill-timed. That he should
have waited until the new may

to seek his overthrow, was put
to the torch. Mr.. Barbot was
believed hiding inside the coun-
try.
The United States sent an
other protest to Mr.. Duvalier,
complaining that the American
Embassy's first secretary was
halted in his car Tuesday night.
Guards forced him to stand
with his hands raised in the
glare Of his cars headlights
until he identified himself.
The wave of terror was
launched last Friday after gun
men killed a chauffeur and two
bodyguards taking Mr.. Du-
valier's two children to school.
Diplomatic sources Said at
least Is persons were killed
Friday and Saturday, and there
were rumors many more per-
iShed.
Mr.. Duvalier's breakdown
appeared aimed mainly at "a
Army officers he dismissed last
week. He is reported to believe
that they were TO be the spear
head of a revolt.
In Santo Domingo, the Do
minican Foreign Ministry
issued a statement denying
that Foreign Minister Andres
Freites had told the OAS
mission he had word of an offer
by Mr.. Duvalier to Cuban
Premier Fidel Castro's regime
of bases in Haiti.
