RIOTS ERUPT

Bhutto I
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) -
Rioting and demonstrations erupted
here and in the neighboring Indian state
of Kashmir yesterday, protesting the
hanging of former Prinde Minister
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. World leaders, who
had tried to saveim from the gallows,
expressed regre and anger fat the
execution.
Three persons were reported killed in
the Kashmir riots. Most of Pakistan
was calm, but some observers said
violence could come later.
IN WASHINGTON, the State Depar-
tment expressed regret over the
execution. Spokesman Hodding Carter
noted that President Carter had asked
for mercy for Bhutto on humanitarian*
grounds. A department official said
privately that the President's plea was
based in part on fears of political
violence after the hanging.
The white-shrouded body of the 51-
year-old Bhutto, who led Pakistan from
1971 until he was ousted in 1977 by the
man who refused to commute his sen-
tence, was flown by military helicopter
to his birthplace. It was buried in the
family graveyard eight hours after the
hanging.
Bhutto, convicted of ordering the
murder of a political opponent was
taken from his tiny death-row cell and
hanged at 2 a.m. President Mohammed
Zia ul-Raq, who. installed a strict
Moslem penal code when he toppled
Bhutto, refused a flood of pleas to
commute Bhutto's sentence. ,
Bhutto refused to ask for mercy,
saying to do so would be an admission
of guilt.
POLICE SAID that besides the three
dead, seven persons were injured in the
demonstrations in Kashmir, which bor-
ders Pakistan and has a heavy pro-
Pakistan Moslem majority. Many
Kashmiris identify more with Pakistan
than with India.
Police opened fire on demonstrators
who stoned the U.N. observer post in
the Kashmiri city of Srinagar. Bhutto
and most Kashmiris favored self-
determination for Kashmir, a province
claimed by both India and Pakistan.
There is resentment in Kashmir
because the United Nations did not
state a plebescite, which Pakistan

may recommend that this option be

ANY WITHDRAWAL from the
system must be for the entire Univer-
sity, so the possible effects on all
University employees are being studied
by CESF. If the University does decide
to pull out, once it withdraws the
University may not participate again in
the system.
An alternative to the Social Security
system would be individual investmen-
ts in a variety of retirement accounts
which might provide a higher economic
yield.

Gramlich noted that all of the CESF
figures have been "subject to extreme
guesswork. We had to extrapolate over
a 40-year period."
THE SOCIAL Security program is a
"pay as you go" system: taxes paid by
current workers are used directly to
pay those receiving benefits. The
economic return for an individual

wages in the future, present employees
will receive greater benefits when they
retire.
Gramlich explained that most
workers currently over 35 will probably
benefit financially by remaining with
the Social Security system, rather than
investing in other retirement funds. For
those over 35, he said, the wage base
has grown more rapidly than bank in-
terest rates - hence, the economic ad-
vantage.
Gramlich pointed out that high wage
workers, such as University professors,
don't benefit as much from the system,
as do low wage workers, who fill most
other University staff categories. If
faculty salaries continue to remain in
the high wage classification, then
faculty members may, eventually suffer,
some economic loss by remaining in the
system.
HOWEVER, the trend in faculty
salaries has been downward, and CESF
estimates show that in ten years the
