FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE SEVEN "DENNIS THE MENACE" rrn. ftv'iuu Sunn's S jZ ""i - i Labor Survey Shows! Scope Of Workers' Pension Plans WASHINGTON W A new lbor Department survey Indicates the nation's employers are making a much bigger contribution to insur ance protection lor their workers. The study disclosed that 05 per cent of the urban workers in the country enjoy some kind of health, pension or other insurance paid for by their employers, either wnol ly or in part. The department's Bureau of La bor statistics, which made the sur vey, said it could make no precise comparisons with the scope of employer-financed insurance in earli er years, but that a considerable expanion in this field was obvious. "It is evident," the bureau said, "thai the past two years insurance and pension protection has been made available for the first time to substantial numbers of workers. while for many others the number of types of benefits available have been increased." Hie survey dealt only with pri vate insurance plans in which em ployers pay at least a portion of costs. It did not Include private health, pension or other insurance coverage the workers miRht . buy for themselves. Nor did it cover such government insurance pro grams as social security. The study covered six million workers in offices and plants em ploying SO or more persons. It was conffned to the country's n larg est urban areas and skipped the small plants and towns. It showed that In major labor markets: 1. Nine of every 10 plant and cflice workers were covered by life insurance policies wholly or partly employer paid.

It was found three-fourths of the workers surveyed have the entire cost of tills coverage paid tor tnem oy ineir employers.

Ashley Automatic WOOD STOVES Peyton & Co. 835 Market Ph. 5149 Eisenhower Staies Hope Of Accord With GOP Leaders tf MARVIN L. ARROWSMITII WASHINGTON Mr-President Ei senhower's stated hope that Re publican congressional leaders will avoid differing greatly with him on basic administration policy was met with silence today by Senate Majority Leader Knowland. "No comment," said the Califor nia senator with respect to the hope the President voiced at his news conference yesterday. Eisen hower was replying to a question pinned specifically to Knowland's differences with the White Hbuse and State Department, Knowland has been critical of the administration over how to deal with tlie Chinese Commu nists' Imprisonment of 13 Ameri cans as "spies". The senator wants the United States to block ade Red China in an effort to force release of the prisoners.- The President, at his session with newsmen, rejected that idea. He said a blockade would be "an act of war" and counseled against letting the Communists goad tlie U.S. Into war. Eisenhower also again . turned thumbs down on proposals to sever diplomatic relations with Russia. In the past Knowland has urged such action. DIFFERENCES Against that background of for eign policy differences with the GOP leader of the Senate, Eisen hower was addressed this way by a reporter: "Mr. President, Sen. Know land's opposition to the administra tion cn several recent issues has been viewed In some quarters as a threat to Republican harmony In the new Congress, particularly In the Senate. Do you see any peril in the fact that the man chiefly charged with guiding the adminis tration's program through the Senate is often in opposition to your own view?" In reply, Eisenhower alluded first to Secretary of State Dulles' speech Monday night saying tlie United States should exhaust all peaceful efforts to win release of the 13 Americans before consider ing "war action," such as a na val or air blockade. The President said he noted that after Knowland had read Dulles' speech, the senator remarked he thought the differences between him and the administration had been exaggerated. DULLES SPEECH The President said he always has defended the right of any In dividual to differ with him violent ly and persistently. But he added he would hone the men with whom he has to work the Republican congressional leaders would refrain from diffe lng greatly with him on the main issues. Otherwise, he said, it would be extremely difficult. The President said that In dis cussion with . Knowland he has found little difference between them so far as basic philosophy on either foreign or domestic policy is concerned. Knowland, said Eisenhower, at times makes statements that cer tainly do not conform to the Presi dent's approach. But he added that normally those statements reflect differences over method rather than principle. CENSURE VOTE There have been indications that Knowland's vote against censure of Sen. McCarthy iR-Wis) might lead to political alignment of Knowland-McCarthy forces, and that such an alignment might de velop in turn into a battle for Re publican party control. Eisenhower declined comment on the Senate vote condemning McCarthy, but the President in the past has been critical of McCarthy without mentioning him by name. A reporter told Eisenhower yes-i terday there has been speculation I Eplit might develop In the Re publican party in the 1956 presi dential election year because of "so-called conservative members being unhappy about being hard on Communist infiltration" in the United States. Charles Von Premd of CBS, the reporter, said later he was talking about "opposition to McCarthy" and resentment by "so-called con servative" Republicans. At the news conference, Von Premd asked Eisenhower whether development of a party split over such an issue would "affect in any way your own strong drive toward a Found middle-of-the-road policy." IKE REPLIES The President replied he could see no connection between trying to be tough on communism and still being progressive. He ridi culed the idea of anyone thinking he has any love in his heart lur the concept of communism. In fact, Eisenhower added, nor mally he Is accused of being too tough in his efforts to oust anyone in government guilty of subver sion. He said he hoped he didn't have to defend himself on that matter. NO DRAFT DALLAS, Tex.
