Social Security
Coverage Passes
University Faculty, Employees Vote
Overwhelmingly For Federal Plan
By DICK SNYDER
University faculty members and employees have voted overwhelm-
ingly, in favor of Social Security coverage of their ,lobs.
Only 349 out of an eligible 4,673 voted against the Federal pro-
gram approved by the Regents at its June meeting.
The results of the referendum held at 29 campus polling places
yesterday and Monday are indicative of the great interest of Uni-
versity personnel in the retirement and insurance programs provided
by Social Security, said Vice-
President Wilbur K. Pierpont in
FBA Selects announcing the acceptance of the
plan.

entendSecurity will provide a significant

Pan Hel Delegate
Attends Meeting
By LEE MARKs
Fraternity Buying Association's
provisional Board of Directors
yesterday nominated Hank Aug-
hey, '56NR, and Fred Sheldon, '58,
for president and secretary res-
pectively of the Steward's Council.
In addition, five were nominat-
ed to run for the four student
positions on the Board of Direct-
ors. John Morrow, '56, Victor
Carlson, '57, Lee Egrin, '57, James
-Meyer, '56, and Jack Ryan, '56,
received the nominations.
FBA Purchasing Agent Mike
Barber said additional nomina-
tions will be accepted from the
floor at elections by the Steward's
Council Thursday.
Qualifications Needed
Barber explained that only one
person was nominated for the
position of president and secretary
because of the qualifications need-
ed.
PdAughey is now secretary of the
provisional Board and has been
associated with FBA since its in-
ception.
Of the seven petitioners only
Aughey had the necessary ex-
perience, Barber commented.
Rumors' that some cooks are
' ordering outside of FBA are being
looked into. Barber pointed out
that the size of some of the orders
made it evident not all buying was
being done through FBA.
Under FBA rules it is illegal for
a house to order independently
those items it can get through
FBA. Infractions, Barber com-
mented, are dealt with by the
Board.
Gellert Attends Meeting
Marcia Gellert, '56, representing
Pan Hellenic Association, attend-
ed yesterday's meeting. She said
sororities expect to enter FBA on
the same basis as fraternities did
last spring.
A discussion on requirements to
be met by member joining the
plan now (as contrasted with
those who took the initial risk)
resulted in a decision to treat each
case seperately.
Same Basis Agreed On
In general, though, the Board
agreed it would be unfair to ask
sororities or professional fraterni-
ties to come in on any basis other
than that of Fraternities. Social
fraternities, though, who would
not come in last Spring, may face
stiffer financial requirements.
out several differences in the frat-
ernity and sorority systems which
will have to be ironed out when
sororities buy through FBA.
It was pointed out that while
fraternities are usually governed
wholly by members, housemothers
- excersize a great control over sore-
orities.
Miss Gellert said decision on
entering FBA would probably be
made by respective housemothers.
- Barber suggested sororities could
write to their sister chapters at
Ohio State University if they had
doubts about effectiveness of the
organization (FBA is patterned
after a similar group at OSU.)
It was also suggested that soror-
ities might initally enter FBA on
a trial basis similar to the one
follewed by fraternities early last
Spring.
McKenna To Visit
roactive to January 1, 1955," Pier-
pont said.
Eligible to vote in the special poll
were participants of the Teachers'
Insurance Annuity Association.
and the Emplyees' Retirement
Plan as of June 1 this year.
These two groups represent
4,673 University faculty members
and other employees, or in general
all staff excepting student em-
ployees.
As approved by the Regents,
Social Security coverage will sup-
plement the two current Univer-
sity plans, rather than replace
them. .
Decision May Be Reviewed
If the tax rate for the Federal
program is increased at a later
date, the decision to continue the
University plans will be reviewed.
The affirmative vote, as con-
firmed by University auditors
Price Waterhouse and. Company,
means that entrance into the pro-
gram will be immediate and tax-
ing will start retroactive to Jan.
1 of this year in order that full
benefits may be received.
Collection of back taxes is to be
made in equal installments from
the employee's October, November
and December paychecks.
Two Per Cent Deductions
With the start of the new tax
year this coming January, payroll
deductions will be regular at the
rate of two percent of the em-
ployee' earnings below $4,200.
This means an annual tax of no
more than $84.
The referendum resulted from
State Legislature approval of the
1954 amendments to the Federal
Old Age and Survivor's Insurance
Act extending coverage to state
universities with their own re-:
tirement programs.
Members of the faculty group
voted 1,066 to 43 for the coverage,
with 1,184 possible votes. Out of
3,489 eligible voters, the employees'
group accepted coverage 2,983 to
306.
A total of 271 did not vote and
4 voided ballots were recorded.
Janet' Rips

Hopes For Navy
Crewmen Dim
MIAMI (P)-Hurricane Janet, a
tremendous storm with the killer
instinct, ripped across Swan Is-
land with 125-to-135 m.p.h. winds
yesterday, then headed toward
British Honduras and Yucatan.
Janet's furious winds were be-
lieved 'to have smashed a Navy
hurricane hunter plane with 11
men aboard somewhere between
Guantanamo Bay and Panama.e
The plane was last heard fromf
early Monday and hopes that the

continued.
The missing plane, attached to
the Navy Weather Squadron at
Jacksonville and flying out of
Guantanamo Bay, carried nine
crewmen and two Canadian news-
men. Scores of Navy planes and
ships combed an area midway in
the Caribbean, where the ill-fated
aircraft was last reported.-
Janet, with an estimated 200
dead in her winding wake through
the Caribbean Sea, was moving
west-northwest at 21 miles an;
hour. She had hurricane force

The storm center was expected

U' Freshman
Contracts Polio
A University freshman has come
down with polio.
Eleanor Bergeret, of Peakskill,
N. Y., was taken to University
Hospital Monday night, after
spending several days in Health
Service with a "sore throat."
Dr. Morely A. Beckett, Health
Service director, said Miss Ber-
geret was getting along very well.
Thus far, no signs of paralytic
polio are present.
Dr. Beckett cautioned that,
"Among 20,000 you can very easily
have a case of polio develop." He
added that Miss Bergeret may
have contacted the disease prior
to University entrance.
On the advice of Dr. Thomas
Francis, Jr., co-director of Salk
polio 'vaccine, six women residing
in Miss Bergeret's residence hall
at Stockwell have been administ-
ered gamma globulin as a pre-
cautionary measure.

Benson Admits Mistake
In Lade jnshy Inquiry
WASHINGTON P(A)-Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben-

He said the experience gave him some new ideas on security
matters which he passed along to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

U.S., Britain
Make Appeal
To Russia
NEW YORK (P)-The United
States and Britain called on Rus-
sia and other countries yesterday
not to contribute to an arms race
in the Middle East.
They issued a joint statement
within hours after Egypt notified
Britain she has accepted a Rus-
sian offer to supply her with
arms, reportedly in return for
cotton.
Avoid Arms Race
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and British Foreign Sec-
retary Harold Macmillan said in
the statement the United States
and Britain were in harmony on
a policy of avoiding "an arms
race which would inevitably in-
crease the tensions in the area."
"They will continue, and hope
other governments will continue,
to be guided by these principles,"
they said.
A British spokesman said the
reference to "other countries"
certfinly included Russia.
Big Three Talk
Dulles and Macmillan Issued
their statement after the first ses-
sion of their current Western Big
Three talks with French Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay in the
35th floor Presidential Suite of
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
The statement was issued in-
dependently of the session, how-
ever, and independently of the
French. The French were re-
ported to have been kept advised.
The Big Three talks, prelimi-
nary to a Big Four foreign minis-
ters meeting at Geneva October
27, were described by an American
spokesman as making "excellent
progress."
He declined to disclose the mat-
ters discussed. They were under-
stood to deal with the possibility
of getting Russian agreement to a,
united Germany, as a NATO mem-
ate investigators what he had told
Eisenhower. That, he said, would
be violating a confidence.
Urged by Chairman Olin D.
,Johnston, D-SC, of a Senate Civil
Service sub-committee pass along
his tips to the senators, the secre-
tary said he'd take the suggestion
under advisement. First, he said,
he wanted to discuss the matter
with his legal advisers and White
House aides.
Johnston's subcommittee is re-
viewing the Ladejinsky case as
part of a general study of the Eis-
enhower administration's govern-
mert security program.
Subject to close questioning by
subcommittee aides, Benson ac-
knowledged it would have been
better all around if the security
question had never been raised in
connection with Ladejinsky.
He agreed with a statement by
Henry Edens, a subcommittee.
counsel, that the risk tag hung'
on Ladejinsky had been "gratui-
tous."
This was so, Benson said, be-
cause he had decided Ladejinsky
was not qualified for a job as
agricultural attache in Tokyo
since Ladejinsky was Russian-
born and lacked a sufficient Amer-
ican background for the job.
Ladejinsky had worked for four
years as a State Department ex-
pert on -farm-matters in Tokyo,
several times winning 'security
clearance for his sensitive job.
But shortly after the job was
transferred to the Agriculture Dew
partment last year he was labeled
a security risk and denied clear-'
ance.
Benson conceded this decision
was taken without a hearing and
without notice to Ladejinsky of
the charges against him.
Harold E. Stassen, who hired
Ladejinsky for a job in Indochina
with the Foreign Operations Ad-
ministration shortly after the ad-
verse Agriculture Department de-
cision, testified Monday that he
was satisfied Ladejinsky was a
loyal American.
