Social Security Request Recalls FDR Proposal
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower's Social Security message came just three days before the 19th anniversary of the day FDR first proposed the idea to Congress.

Union to Assist Family Strikers
St. Louis, Mo—(U.P)Tom Hathaway, a union business agent, today had a chance to give an assist to Cupid and unionism at one stroke of the pen.
Mr. Hathaway, key man in a dispute which has divided the house of George V. Harrison against itself, will try to induce the venetian blind manufacturer to sign for a union shop.
Son George wants the union scale rather than the 75 cents an hour his father has been paying him. Mrs Harrison, who has received no pay at all, is all for a change and Miss Marjorie Gunther, only non-family worker, is out because the others are.
Mr. Harrison's wife and his son, George Jr., and the only other employee of the factory, have been picketing the place since last Monday in quest of higher wages.
George Jr. 19, was unavailable for comment today but his mother left little doubt that he and Rosetta will be married in May regardless of how the dispute ends.
"George's wedding is all set," she said. "I won't give you the girl's last name because she has nothing to do with all this and we haven't discussed it with her. But he sure could use some extra money."
But Mr. Harrison, however quiet he might be about it at home, took an entirely different view of the soubble.
Mrs. Harrison said the dispute was "entirely a business matter" and was left outside the house when the Harrisons sit down to dinner.
"It's a family feud between me and the boy," he said. "She has decided to side with him. She ought to be home with the other five kids instead of walking around with him under that umbrella."
UN Economics To Be Explained
The economic foundations of the United Nations will be explained here Jan. 25 by Walter M. Kotschniig, an official of the State department.
Dr. Kotschnig, director of the State department's office of United Nations economic and social affairs, will be the banquet speaker for the sixth annual UN conference
A native of Austria, Dr. Kotscheng came to this country in 1936 to teach at Smith and Mount Holyoke colleges. For eight years he was secretary-general of the International Student Service in Geneva, and then became director of the League of Nations commission for refugees from Germany.
In 1944 he joined the State department and as a technical expert participated in most of the conferences leading to the organization of the United Nations. He since has been an adviser to the American delegation of the UN economic and social council.
His books include "The University in a Changing World," "Unemployment in the Learned Professions," and "Slaves Need No Leaders."

That was not the only coincidence which sent old timers thumbing back through the files last night to refresh memories of the past. There was some coincidence of language as well as of dates, and a striking continuity of purpose and thought.
Mr. Roosevelt told Congress in 1935 that the job could not all be done at once, that there would be continuing need for improvement of machinery and protection. Mr. Eisenhower's message of yesterday picked up from Mr. Roosevelt's message of Jan. 17, 1935, as neatly as a relay runner's baton passes from hand to hand.
Those 15 words established policy and policy is the foundation upon which any program must stand. A pre-Roosevelt Congress would have rejected that policy. In fact, Congress did oppose it on a related emergency issue in 1931.
"The human problems of individual citizens are a proper and important concern of our government."
Mr. Eisenhower's message punch line was this:
Some 30 million persons were covered when Mr. Roosevelt got his first Social Security act in 1955. Coverage reaches 70 million now and Mr. Eisenhower plans vastly to extend that.
"One problem that faces every individual is the provision of economic security for his old age," Mr Eisenhower told Congress yesterday, "and economic security for his family in event of his death."
And he continued:
"... Help individuals provide for that security."
"... Reduce both the fear and incidence of destitution to the minimum."
"... These are the proper aims of all levels of government."
That was Mr. Eisenhower's general approach to the problem yesterday. Here are some samples of FDR 19 years ago:
"Our American program . . . Was, and is, the security of the men, women and children of the nation against certain hazards and vicissitudes of life. . . the sound and necessary policy of federal legislation for economic security."
FDR regarded social security legislation as the 74th Congress"supreme achievement."

Air Academy Measure Brings Location Tiff
Washington—(U.P.)—The House Armed Services committee hoped to send to the House today a bill to let the Air Force build its own service academy at a cost which might run to $175 million.
As the committee moved toward certain approval of the measure, controversy mounted over where to locate the proposed "West Point of the Air" and how the site should be chosen. The bill's backers feared the controversy might impede passage.
Latest to propose a site for the academy were Reps. Clarence Brown (R-Ohio) and Paul F. Schenek (R-Ohio), who dropped identical bills in the House hopper to locate the school "in the Miami Valley area" of Ohio.
Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott yesterday reiterated that no site had been selected or had an inside track with the Air Force. Members questioned the statement after President Eisenhower, at a news conference Wednesday, expressed surprise at Sec. Talbott's plans to set up a new site survey board and since he already knew exactly where the academy ought to be located.
Their bills were piled atop a dozer or more earlier measures naming sites for the academy, and were expected to be followed by others, despite pleas by committee chairman Dewey Short (R-Mo.) to postpone arguments over the site until after the academy is authorized.
The President said he hadn't told anybody his choice, and didn't plan to. See Talbott said he didn't intend to ask the President's advice. The bill would give Sec. Talbott authority to make the decision.
The secretary, who said the cost of the academy might run as high as $175 million, declared his new survey board would consider, but would not be bound by, recommendations of an earlier board. It narrowed the choice down to seven sites: Camp Beale, Calif.; near Colorado Springs, Colo.; near Madison, Ind.; near Charlotte, N.C.; and Grayson County, Grapevine, and Randolph Field, all in Texas.
Speculation on President Eisenhower's probable choice centered on Randolph Field. Rep. Victor Wickersham (D-Okla.) said maybe Augusta, Ga., where Mr. Eisenhower has his winter White House, or Denver, where he has vacationed, could be the favored spot.

Man Getting Rules Offered to Girls
Manhattan — (O,U)— A psychiatrist for the Meninger foundation in Topeka has offered this tip to Kansas State college women students:
The best way to get and hold a knife is either him, without letting his hip know.
Dr. Lewis L. Robbins said persons considering marriage should carefully examine their own sets of values.
Success in marriage, he said, is largely determined by common attitudes of the boy and girl toward such things as standard of living, social prestige of the husband's work, children and sex.
Tokyo —(U.P).—Tomoharu Uranawa, 38, complained to police today that visitors were "removing" his island. Mr. Uranawa, owner of a 16-acre island, said people were taking earth from his land to use as wall plaster. If this keeps on, he complained, "My island will disappear."
Dr. Robbins defined sex as "the
sleeping affection, deep
sharing, affection, nothing else."
He noted the "tremendous conspiracy of silence" on sex and said he doubted that Dr. Alfred Kinsey's famous reports had helped the situation.
