Show THE TIMES- - NEWS, NEPHL, UTAH PAGE TWO WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Lady Sheriff Truman Signs Bill for Extension Of European Aid Another 15 Months; U. S. Launches Bond Sale Drive I By H. the opening of the "Opportunity Bond Drive,' in which the government hopes to sell one billion, 40 million dollars worth of U.S. savings bonds to its people. President Truman keyed his remarks to the need for nation al security. HE PICTURED the bond drive as providing another opportunity for purchasers to assure security for themselves and their country, Among other things, the President said: "We know that we cannot have a sound and secure nation unless security is the common possession of our people. Farmer, factory work' er, banker, merchant, school teacher, housewife all are buying security for themselves and each other Truman Okay f billion available at once was signed by President Truman. MR. TRUMAN, as is a quaint capital cttstom in such matters, signed the bill with several pens eight, in fact. Even Mr. Truman, himself, was moved to observe jestingly that "this will probably look like a forgery, but it really isn't" The bill which Mr. Truman signed of the allots more than entire budget of the United States to foreign aid. Mr. Truman, ever a meticulous man, carefully wiped the points of the pens, handed one each to seven witnesses to the signing, and kept one for Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, who was unable to attend. THERE WAS a check and balance in the bill, however. With the billion dollars to be made available at once, aid could be kept flowing to the Marshall plan countries of western Europe until congress votes the rest of the cash later. one-eigh- th OASI COST: In Billions American taxpayers in covered employment would have to dig into their pockets to the tune of 3.75 billion dollars by 1955 to finance old age and survivors insurance under the proposals advanced by Presi dent Truman and his administra tion. BY THE YEAR 2,000 when the program is expected to hit its peak the proposed cost would have mounted to approximately 13 bil lion dollars. This estimate, made by the. Re CHURCHMEN: UN Asks Facts The United Nations wasn't heeding protests of Hungary and Bulgaria against its consideration of the trials of Cardinal Mindszenty and Protestant churchmen. Instead, the UN invited the two Soviet satellite countries to tell their stories of the imprisonment of the Cardinal and other clergymen. THE RUSSIAN delegation indicated the two nations would disregard the invitation, since both Hungary and Bulgaria have contended the trials were internal matters and no business of the UN. The world organization, however, voted 30 to 7 to put the church cases on Us agenda and to go on with a full discussion of them. U. S. delegate Benjamin V. Cohen argued the committee should delay inviting any nations or churches to send spokesmen until It decides how it wants to deal with the question. Russia's Jacob A. Malik indicated the two Russian satellites would reject such an invitation and accused Bolivia of violating the UN charter by seeking to invite religious organizations. To the casual observer, the entire matter was even less than a tempest in a tea pot. Whatever the UN might find as a result of rehashing the convictions of the churchmen what could UN do about it? The force of UN in world peace retention efforts has been so meager as to cause critics to begin comparing it already with the old League of Nations which died of impotency. 127 W SI M) 0O aiK 0O S&O I 141 1 Oft UU Mil 44 0O U Tt 44 H 71 44 04 search Council curity, Chicago, jobs. Coverage is now limited to persons employed in industry and commerce. It is proposed that the system be extended to cover the entire labor force. In presenting both sides of the question, the council's report in cludes a full page of pros and cons. Each side might be summarized as follows: ON THE ONE HAND, if em ployees of commerce and industry are entitled to this protection, why not employees on the farm and in the household? If the goal of the system is to provide even a minimum of subsistence, benefits must be raised now to keep in step with living costs. An adequate OASI system will reduce substantially the heavy burden of old age assistance. On the other hand, opponents of the proposed extension point out that of those excluded, the majority are either protected by other systems or are able to provide for themselves, while the lowest income classes are employed too irregularly to earn insured status under any program. If the cost of living is a valid reason for raising benefits now, then logically the whole system should be geared to the cost of living, fluctuating down as well as up. The bigger the system, the better the promises of bigger and better pensions.
