Dan, cau- tioned the nations largest group of retirees on Thursday that its opposition to the Social Security rescue plan could stymie efforts to repair (he system. In an emotional appeal to the legislative council of the American Association of Retired Persons, Moynihan warned (hat if the nation misses this opportunity, I just don't know when again we're going to have the chance to put Social Security on a dependable, permanently reliable basis." "Your help will be very, very important. It could be critical," he said. But the group turned a cold shoulder to Moynihans appeal. As soon as he departed, the policy-makincouncil unanimously reaffirmed its opposition to the National Commission on Social Security Reform's recommendations and called instead for general revenues to bail out the system. Calls for Changes Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Rep. Leon E. Panetta, called for changes in the reform commission s recommendations and introduced legislation to radically restructure Social Security. Three other congressional critics of the plan also addressed the retirees group: conservatives Sen. Wiand lliam L. Armstrong, and libRep. Bill Archer, eral Rep. Barney Frank, Frank sharply criticized the prodelay in this year's posed g increase, and said he cannot support taxation of retirees' benefits unless the income limits on who is taxed are raised each year. I was confronted by one member of the leadership who said. You're rocking the boat on Social Security," related Frank. I said, I'm trying to, but it's the damned Queen Mary.

".'S Study Says Estrogen Decreases Risk Of Death for Women Over Forty By A1 Rossiter Jr. - take the female hormone estrogen have a lower annual risk of dying refrom all causes than searchers reported Thursday. non-user- But study director Trudy L. Bush of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation said many questions main and confirmation from more detailed research is needed before doctors consider changing their estrogen prescribing practices. Nevertheless, Dr. Bush said. "I think this should be fairly comforting to women who are prescribed estrogens. Because there have been reports linking estrogen use to increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Bush said that when she and her associates started the study they expected to find estrogen users would fare worse. What we found, much to our surprise, was that women using estro-gen- s had a death rate about one- re- s by estrogen-pr- non-user- s, EXERCISER could not be accounted for differences in age, education, smoking habits, body weight, blood pressure or by concentrations of the kind of cholesterol in the blood that is associated with increased heart disease risk. Dr. Bush said it was possible that estrogen was not prescribed or was discontinued in women with an illness, which would result in an apparent excess mortality in The researchers, however, found no change in their statistics when deaths due to cancers of the breast, ovary or uterus were ex- third that of women not using them." she said in an interview. Differences were greater for women who had hysterectomies and even larger for those who had ovaries removed. oducing Dr. Bush emphasized that this did not mean women who did not use' estrogens had abnormally high death rates. It meant those who took the hormones had abnormally low death rates during the study period. The study results, published in the Feb 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, covered 2.269 white women between the ages of 40 and 69. They were examined at 10 clinics across the nation between 1971 and 1976 A total of 76 deaths from all causes occurred during this period The estrogens in the study were those of the type used to relieve symptoms.

But the report also said such a protective effect from estrogen use is biologically plausible, since it has been shown that estrogens increase levels of a kind of blood cholesterol that is associated with a lower risk health-oriente- d non-use- use.

Revere Choose from cupper clad or stainless steel bottoms We show just a few from oin collection: Armstrong and Archer were among the three dissenters on the commission. Moynihan was in the majority. The retirees group, which has 14 million members, opposes the delay, higher payroll taxes and the plan to tax half of benefits for single retirees with incomes above $20,000, and $25,000 for aged couples. Instead, it suggests delaying or postponing this year's income tax cut or slapping excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol to make up Social Security's estimated $150 billion to $200 billion shortfall over seven years.
