Meany said the ABC has won 186 National Labor Relations Board elections, picking up 77,000 members since it was chartered in December. ‘‘This shows workers will vote against corrupt leadership in a free elction,” Meany said. —Adoption of AFL-CIO ethics codes by 48 national unions sinc> Meany ordered this done last February. The remaining 90 or so affiliates are expected to comply soon. —Crackdowns on two big building trades unions — the 800,000member Carpenters and the 270.-000-member Operating Engineers. Carpenters chief M. A. Hutcheson was directed to justify his role in an Indiana highway scandal or face ouster from his council seat. Engineers bosses were told to get rid of corrupt elements or be expelled. Other unions who are on trial before an AFL-CIO “good housekeeping” seal will be awarded are making progress and have kicked out their worst leaders, Meany said. These include the distillery workers and united textile workers. ~MARX~ (Continued nom page one) Bieber, Chicago attorney; Irving Weissman.

Atomic Sub Visit Banned By Denmark Fear Os Accident Results In Action COPENHAGEN, Den. (UPD - Denmark has banned the scheduled Aug. 28 visit of the atomic submarine USS Skate for fear an accident might expose Danish residents to the effects of nuclear radiatiori. The ban, announced Thursday night by Premier and Foreign Minister H. C. Hansen, was the first such move by a NATO nation in the atomic age. U. S. n u c 1 ea r submarines previously have visited Britain, France and Holland. Hansen said he called off the plans because the Danish Atomic Energy Commission had warned against the potential risk if an accident happened. “Even though an accident of any kind is not likely to happen, I found it best to follow the advice of the atomic scientists,” Hansen said. The Skate has visited Europe previously and in recent days its exploits under the Arctic ice cap have been bannered and hailed in the Danish newspapers. It was the second American atomicpowered submarine to cross the Arctic beneath the ice. The Nautilus, now en route to New York, was the first. It put into Plymouth, England, where its crew received a heroes’ welcome. The Skate is to arrive in Bergen, Norway, late Saturday afternoon, and to go to Oslo late Monday. Afterwards it was to have gone-to Copenhagen. A member of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission who refused to be named said, “We did not dare take on the responsibility not to stress the extraordinary danger which would be connected with such as a collision or grounding of the submarine in Copenhagen Harbor.” Some Misunderstand On Social Security SS Not Merely Old-Age Pension One of the' common misconceptions of the public is that the only ones who need to be concerned about the social security law are those near retirement age. Social security is still firmly fixed in the ; minds of many citizens as an “oldage pension,” Christian H. W. Luecke; manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, said today. Actually the protection afforded survivors of insured workers is very' substantial. Over 3 million beneficiaries, mostly women and children of all ages, are now receiving monthly payments of more than $135 million based on the earning records of deceased workers. Since death can come to any one unexpectedly, the worker has an obligation to inform his family of any payments to which they w'ould be eligible. “Just a few words at tonight's dinner table can insure that your family will not lose out on this important protection. “Following is a brief summary of several types of payments that can be made to the eligible survivors of a deceased worker. Remember., these payments are not automatic. An application must always be made before payments can begin. 1. Widow at age 62—monthly payments for life. . 2. Widow with one or more children in her care.—Paid, no matter what her age. if child is under 18. Payments may be extended beyond j age 18. if the child became per-! manently disabled before age 18. (Widowers may also get monthly benefits on behalf of such children in their care if their deceased spouse was insured.) 3 Widower at age 65—if dependent on deceased wife for one-half support. 4. Parents—Mother at 62; Father at age 65. If no spouse or child entitled to benefits survives and parents were receiving one-half of their support from the insured person. 5. Lump-sum death payment —< Usually paid to surviving spouse. If no qualified surviving spouse, then it is paid to person or persons who paid burial expenses. “If you know what social security provides for your family, you may be able to better plan your family's future security. Free booklets, telling how payments are figured, may be obtained from *your social security district office.” Trade in a good town — Decatut

Sen. Jenner Makes Last Senate Speech Farewell Address , By Indiana Senator WASHINGTON <UPD — “The time has come for me to take my leave.” So spoke Sen. William E. Jenner on the floor of the Senate Thursday as he began an 11-page “farewell” speech. It began softly, as have many of his speeches in the past 12 yars. But before he was through his voice was raised to his customary hoarse shout and his dark-rimmed glasses waved in his hand as he castigated “wild-eyed Socialists, ambitious , intellectuals, powerseeking demagogues and hidden Communists” whom he said had made America “sick with a sickness that goes very deep.” An end to the emotion-charged speeches of the 50-year-old Indiana Republican will be one of the most visible—and audible—evidences of his retirement from Congress at the end of this session. Right-Wingers Reduced But his departure more importantly marks a thinning in the ranks of the staunchly right-wing Republicans who could barely muster an audience tor Jenner's farewell speech. While Jenner has been most concerned with fighting Communism and lately Supreme Court decisions, he also has been a bitter critic of federal spending programs, foreign aid and many aspects of American foreign policy. One of his favorite phrases is to picture the "clammy hand" of the federal government encroaching more and more on states and individuals. The personally affable and friendly Jenner, leaving seats on the important finance and judo ciary committees, summed up his estimate of his last session of Congress by saying it had engaged in the “wildest spending debauch ever engaged in by any Congress.” Calls Spending “Spree” “Nothing in the New Deal, nothing in World War 11. and nothing in the post-war years of

Korea is anything like as outrageous as the spending spree of 1958,” Jenner said. “We have thrown away the hope of a balanced budget for yegrs to come,” he said. But he said the American people are not to blame for the present state of affairs. “Our political leaders have failed,” Jenner said. More than a dozen of his colleagues. Republicans and Democrats alike, commended Jenner at the conclusion of his speech. Almost as Jenner spoke. HouseSenate conferees restored Indiana to a federal aid-to-education pro-' gram. Jenner had successfully amended the bill in the Senate to prevent Indiana from getting any funds. He said his state didn't want or need federal help. Indiana congressmen had complained at Indiana’s being in effect written out of the union.'
