SIU To Seek High Retirement Plan San Francisco (U.R) Offi cials of the Seafarers Interna tional Union say they are work ing on plans to secure for unli censed West Coast seamen one of the highest retirement in comes in the history of organized labor. Union spokesmen said Mon day at the opening of the SIU's eighth annual convention that they hope to arrange for some retired seamen to receive as much as $312.80. The only union personnel who receive higher pensions are air line pilots. The spokesmen said plans are underway to merge employers pension contributions to the Sailors Union of the Pacific, Ma rine Firemen's Union and the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union. With that completed the union will ask shipowners . to hike their pensions from $100 a month to $125 within the- first six months and to $150 after a year. They said the shipowner's funds would be added to the S162.80 maximum monthly pay ment to retired couples under social security. Merger of the pensions funds is a step toward amalgamation of the three unions, said the spokesman, but added no such step is immediately planned.

(U.R) Skill In the coat business is not confined to tailors, according to Albert Manton and Edward W. Hepp, who have been outfitting med ical tablets by the millions for over 30 years for a pharma ceutical manufacturer (Arner). They pointed out that the tab let tailor's job is a tough one, for too much or too little color can ruin a batch containing 25,000 to 1.000.000 units, worth more than $50,000. Too much color is about the same as no color at all as it will ! wash off previous applications. And too little will result in color variations that neither distributors nor consumers would accept. They give each of their tiny subjects as many as 18 or 20 coats, with some special tablets requiring up to 75 coals where a particular action medication is desired. Color is applied by pouring or spraying to rolling tablets to insure even color distribution. 0KEH NOW Jan Marie Mueller, 21 - months - old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl William Mueller of Louisville, Ky., is shown on her return home after a del icate heart operation.
