'Seng.Klay BIpck Attempts .'To xpand.So'cial Security By JACK BELL Ot The AssocUlfcJ Prcsl . WASHINGTON W There wer tpts Monday that the Senate may raise some roadblocks against cnactntent thjs year of a Democratic-sponsored proposal to ex pand social security benefits. Chairman Byrd (D-Va) of the Senate Finance Committee said preliminary studies indicate it would be "very costly" to put into effect plans agreed on in principle by House Democratic leaders to give immediate bene fits to the disabled and to lower the age at which women may draw payments. DEMAND HEARINGS Sen. Martin (R-Pa), a member of the Finance Committee, said that if the bill clears the House he will propose public hearings before the Senate committee takes any action. (ADVERTISEMENT) Your Chiropractor is a Special Kind of Doctor Your chiropractor is a special kind of doctor. He is engaged in the treatment and prevention of disease and in the promotion of good health doing this through the-chiropractic method of treat ment, A chiropractor operates on the scientific premise that the nerve system controls, regulates and integrates all other systems and all physiological functions of the human body: that interference with the nerve control of these ' systems injures their function and brings on disease by making the body less able to resist infec tion and illness. The chiropractor's method is unique in that he deals with the i patient as a total unit. He does not divide and subdivide the patient into special compartments of disease, with special remedies for each compartment. He treats patients by correcting the struc ture of the body, especially those of the spinal column. In this way he restores normal nerve func tion. Doing this successfully, he removes the cause of disease and gives the body's own protective and restorative power the oppor tunity to put the body back on the road to health. The science of chiropractic can be traced to the earliest doctors of ancient time. The principles of chiropractic were known and practiced by Hippocrates in the fourth century B.C., by Galen in the second century A.D., and by other noted doctors of ancient Greece and Rome. In the ancient manuscripts of the Egyptians, Hindus and Chinese one can find descriptions of the chiropractic method of treating bodily ills. Contributed by, DR. L. W.

Cooper has announced plans for three days of closed hearings, starting Tuesday. The GOP members told Coop er they will insist on public hear ings. 'The public is entitled to an opportunity to decide whether these proposals are ah honest at tempt to improve the system or whether they simply constitute a political raid on the (Social Se curity) trust fund, they said. DEMOS SILENT "It is difficult to escape the conclusion that legislation which is presented in this fashion is not honestly and sincerely con ceived." The Democrats have been si lent on plans for financing their proposals, which the Republicans Phoners Seek 35-Hour Week ST. LOUIS Wl The president of the CIO Communications Work ers Union says a 35-hour work week for Bell Telephone System switchboard operators will be a major objective in negotiations this year. Joseph A. Beirne, head of the union which opened its conven tion in St. Louis Monday, told newsmen Saturday some 175,000 operators in the nation would have a seven-hour day under the proposal. About 15,000 operators employed by independent tele phone companies are included, he said. He called the proposal a "short term answer" to increasing job losses he said were caused by substitution of dial equipment for manually operated telephones and by other new equipment. Air Force Steps Up Fighter Production WASHINGTON IH The Air Force has recommended in creased production of two super sonic fighters as a result of re cent Russian advances in air- power, it was disclosed Tuesday. The recommendation calls for "quantity production" of the F- 101, a long-range strategic fight er, and the F-104, a high altitude interceptor. It follows the administration de cision to step up production of the B-52 jet bomber by 35 per cent. Iu8fl Olitrlct Offit Ef EAETT E.

'This vast sum of money," the GOP letter said, "can only come out of the social security fund built up by the payroll contribu tions of our workers. "It will be a sorry day for America should the time ever come when our workers retire after years of contributing to the fund only to find that the money to which they have looked for their old age security has long since been spent. The Republicans said they are deeply concerned" about the problems of the disabled and of women workers. WAIT DEVELOPMENTS Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex as, the Democratic leader, has told colleagues he personally fa vors enactment of a benefit ex pansion measure. However, he has said he will await House de velopments before attempting to schedule the issue for Senate action. House leaders agreed last week to get behind a measure which, among other things, would lower the age at which women become eligible for pensions from 65 to 62 years. This would affect about one million women and cost around 350 million dol lars annually. Another major provision would make immediate, continuing benefits available to persons to tally disabled. About 1,200,000 workers would be affected at an annual cost of about $1,400,000, 000. Byrd said he was especially concerned about this proposal but wanted to study it further before taking any positive stand on it or on the measure gen crally. Soviets Free 184 Austrians WIENER NEUSTADT, Austria Ifl A group of 184 Austrian war prisoners and civilian intern ees released by the Soviet Union arrived here Monday. The returnees said they had met several American, British and French prisoners in Russian camps along with several thou sand Germans. They said that while at Camp Alexandrovsk,. in Siberia, they met an American whose name they gave variously as Mike Fine gage or Murray Feingersch of Brooklyn a man in his 30s. They said he had been beaten to such an extent that he appeared men tally unbalanced. '" The American, they reported, told them he had been serving with U. S. forces in Germany and had been arrested by the Czechs after inadvertently crossing the German Czech border in 1949. He said the Czechs handed him over to Soviet occupation forces in Austria and he had been sen tenced to 25 years in jail.

By LYMAN COBURN The same rules for shooting color apply to both movie and still photography. Exposure is p r ob a b 1 y tne most critical fac tor. Color film "right on the i n o s e, wnnout the latitude you have with black-and-white film. More than a half stop variance from the cor rect rxnns ure i will affect the color rendition of the film. A good exposure meter is the only answer to this color problem. Composition in color is quite different from black-and-white composition. With the latter, you balance masses -tit blacks, whites. nignngnts ana snanows to gel pleasing effects. With color, you must balance the colors, one against the other and in proper degrees of tone contrast. "Color confusion" is common in amateur movies, for instance. So much color is contained on film that it's tiresome. You cart dazzle the eye with color iB some scenes, but interspersg scenes where the colojs are 'simple.
