It-N.- D-- Senators Eye Pension Reform Try .WASHINGTON (AP) members -ranking of -Top- the Senate Labor Committee said Wednesday Congress probably will remedy conditions disclosed in a study which showed large numbers of participants in private pension plans, particularly short-teremployes, never receive any benefits. The loss of benefits by large percentages of employes in 86 firms surveyed was blamed largely on a lack of vested interest for employes in the pension funds. Sen. Harrison A. Williams said that the Jr., Labor subcommittee, which he heads, will begin public hearings soon with a view to writing legislation which can be enacted in this Congress. The preliminary figures are the first fruits Study by the of a $500,000 Labor sub committee which the senators said should, w'hen completed giv a good picture for the first time of the operations of private pension plans in the 'US. The report covered two groups of companies operating 87 plans. In one group of 51 companies, where pensions rights are guaranteed after one-thir- d all the rail carriers. The three-judg- e panel returned the case to U.S. District Court tc determine if any such selective UTU walkout is done m a good faith effort to obtain a national agreement. Their ruling left the lower court free to bar any walkouts it concluded were Washington Star Writer - W. Harry WASHINGTON Johns, 53, a mechanical engineer (Cornell 39) and father of three, had crossed America 40 times often looking down at the patchwork landscape from 15,000 feet or zooming along expressways by car. But I never really saw this country until the last month when I rode my old bicycle to Warhnton from Denver, he said Wednesday, I was almost sprayed by a skunk in Pennsylvania, almost run over by a deer in Colorado and followed by polk? through most of Indiana.

But Johns, who recently worked on a project building moon suits for astronauts with the International Latex Corp., was dressed for the weather. He wore ski clothing feet tall and weighs 170 pounds, said the only unpleasant part of his trip was through a lengthy stretch of Indiana. To Train Recruits The police apparently decided to use me to help train some new recruits, he said.

Jacob K. Javits, Javits noted that he has introduced a bill which would assure many more workers that they wood gain their pension rights. This could form the basis for a compromise measure which he and Williams might jointly sponsor, Javits said. He added that he hoped the Nixon administration would give strong support to their efforts. The 87 plans studied in the report covered 9 8 million of workers or almost the 30 million now under private pension arrangements. The assets of these plans totalled $16 billion. It is estimated that assets of all the 34,000 private pension plans in th country have reached $130 billion. demonstrated ot stores would have to give the railroads two weeks notice before striking. This would thus put any walkout off until at least May 5. leventhal's opinion said the carriers could defend themselves against a selective strike by locking out all workers across the entire industry. Management also wuid be free to put into eftect the work rub changes it has demanded in the UTU contract talks in order to eliminate what it terms featherwork practices. bedding Leventhal and Appeal Court Judges J.
