Page f-- Huron (S.D.) Daily Plainsman-- April 11, 1373 In Congress Messo Private Pel Left Intact WASHINGTON CAP) Pres- ident Nixon, declaring there is "room for substantial improve- ment" in federal laws dealing with private pension plans, today revived 16-month-old ad- ministration proposals virtually intact. In a message to Congress, Nixon added little to his long- pending recommendations and rejected two ideas that he had been urged to adopt by organ- ized labor: --The President said a pro- posal to provide federal insur- ance to protect the pensions of workers who now suffer when their employers go out of busi- ness of fall upon hard times would entail government regu- lation "on a scale out of keep- ing wilh our free enterprise --He said nothing about union recommendations that, workers who change jobs be permitted to carry their pension benefits wilh them. Nixon's major proposals were virtually identical to those he espoused in Uie past. Perhaps most important one would provide for some "vesting" of pension rights, meaning that a worker would become legally entitled upon retirement to benefits earned, regardless of whether he quit or was fired before retirement age. At present, Nixon noted, more than two-thirds of all full- time workers participating in private pension plans do not have such protection.

To meet the situation, he urged that all pension benefits earned be considered half vesl- Post-Conviction Hearing Is Held lii Circuit Court A post-conviction hearing was held in Ninth Judicial Circuit Court at the Beadle County courthouse Monday with Judge Jon Foshcim presiding.

Tlic 90 per cent emission re- duction, originally scheduled for 1975-modfil cars, now must he achieved by the 1976 models. The present law permits no fur- ther extension. The original standards have limited hydrocarbon cmls sinus lo a mile compared with the 3.0 gra ms permitted in 1974. Instciid, Kuckolshaus has now set the 1975 al 1.5 grams, exactly half the 1974 level, and he set a separate standard of grams per mile for California In 1975. The original standard for car- bon monoxide would have been 3.4 grams per mile In 1975 compared wilh 28.0 grams In 197-1.
