OGDEN STANDARD-EXAMINER OGDEN UTAH MONDAY EVENING JUNE 4 1962 2V 1st Refugees DON'T EARN PAY? -1 if 'Lazy1 Lawmakers Take Verbal Lashing LONELY BACHELOR FIGHTS 'TELLY' WITH BIG SHINDIG FOR RELATIVES I LONDON (AP) Jack Ford hates television so much that he spent 100 pounds ($280) to separate his relatives and close friends from their sets for a day "The telly has ruined our family life" said bachelor Ford "I hardly ever see my relatives these days and I put 'it all down to the telly" I Feeling that way he saved his moneyfor a special cause Last week his savings reached 100 pounds He hired a bus issued invitations bought prizes and organized outdoor games "It was worth every penny just to see their smiling faces-out in the sunshine" he said He took his party of 45 including his mother to the East Coast resort of Clacton on Sea Sunday Ford a 37-year-old decorator also invited close friends "They'd been sitting around their tellys too" he said "and I hadn't been seeing them either4" Ford's away-from-the-TV party began at 8 "I called it a mystery trip and I offered prizes to the ones who came closest to guessing our destination" i The prizes ranged from an electric clock to kitchen ware vv-k r- ft r-k" 1 Ev ti Wlttij v) X' i I 1 r-' ri' 1 I5 From China Flying to US HONG KONG A Chinese refugee family which has been trying to get into the United States since 1955 took off by plane today for Chicago Eng Se-suey 45 his wife and three children are the first to be admitted to the United States under the emergency provisions proclaimed by President Kennedy after thousands of refugees from Communist China flooded into Hong Kong last month Eng said he was going on a twofold mission to see his dying father who has been given less than 10 days to live and to become an American The elder Eng emigrated to the United States in 1916 a few months before his son was born He is critically ill in a hospital at Park Ridge 111 SPEAK NO ENGLISH The younger Eng and his wife speak no English Their two daugh Sins of Sodom Our Sins Graham Tells Chicago Gross complained to a reporter "yet we hear gripes about other people being overpaid and underworked It's about time we took a good look at our own performance" What to do about it? LAST MINUTE RUSH With tongue in cheek he suggested one possibility to get more work out of the lawmakers If they were paid on a straight per diem basis for days on which legislation actually was considered and were docked if they didn't show up Gross said they might put in more working days "I've hollered and yelled but don't seem to be getting anywhere" Gross said "We can't act on legislation when the leaders don't schedule any I'm afraid we're going to wind up again this year like we do every other year with a last-minute adjournment rush producing a lot of half-baked legislation which gets rammed down our throats without proper debate or consideration" Rail Groups Renew Talks 800 TAKE TURNS AT KEYBOARDS WASHINGTON Rep Gross R-Iowa accused his colleagues today of ''goofing off and not earning their pay" He cited statistics to back up his gripe that Congress is dilly-dallying and that up to now "this has been the most do-nothing session I have seen in the 14 years I have been here" From the time Congress convened last January until the end of May the House had been in session a total of 74 days and the Senate 78 That's an average of about 15 working days per month to use the term ''working day" loosely On many of those days there were House agreements grum-blingly assented to by Gross that there would be no roll-call votes because members were away from Washington mending their political fences or voting in primary elections Gross called the agreements "invitations to absenteeism" Observer figure that there have been no more than 50 actual House sessions this year during which legislation could be voted on AVERAGE $126 DAILY At the salary rate of $22500 annually House members have been paid at the daily rate of about $126 for each day they have been in session this year regardless of whether business was transacted The senatorial per diem is a mite lower The average work-day for the Senate this year has been a little over five hours The House has averaged under four hour3 for each session i "That's a lot of pay for such a short work-week and work-day" Music from 200 pianos filled the lofty spaces of the Michigan State Fair Coliseum in Detroit Sunday as 800 white-clad boys and girls took turns at the keyboards in the 19th annual Michigan Music Festival It isthe largest performance of its kind in the world and was conducted by

that even when Americans leave behind the ways of sin they are tempted to look back in longing1: as did Lot's wife "God says 'Remember Lot's wife' She was turned to a pillar of salt This is God's message of warning "No one knows when God's wrath which broke in I fire and brimstone to destroy the men of Sodom will destroy us "Maybe this crusade is His message Maybe the recent stock market fall

largest crowd of his 19-day Chicago crusade for Christ Sunday and said Americans "are at the edge of an abyss and are about to fall in" An estimated crowd of 44000 jammed McCormick Place to hear Graham speak on the Lord's role in history Officials of the Graham organization announced 915 persons made "decisions for Christ" when the evangelist called on his audience to receive God "Why do I ask you to come forward?" -Graham asked "Because it is an outward sign of receiving God Jesus said ''If you are not willing to confess Me openly on earth I shall not confess you in heaven' i Preaching on Biblical significance of the course of the world's history Graham likened present society to Sodom and Gomorrah claiming "The sins of Sodom are our sins" Graham asserted that Americans live in the same false security that caused God to destroy the twin cities cited in the Bible He attacked Americans' economic and military securities and our trust in science He collectively termed these "false securities" and symbolically spoke of them as the abyss Americans are about to fall into SINFUL MERRIMENT Graham said another sin of Sodom was sinful merriment and he the bulk of the unemployed are

workers ated by cutting weekly hours there the Engs were given priority be-would be a shortage of men to take cause of EnS's father's mness- CRASH HAPPY OVER TRIP Before taking off Eng said "Ever

anticipated Even economists for the AFL-CIO whose president George Meany is talking of a general union drive for the 35-hour weejc don't think it is a quickly attainable goal ONE WAY TO GET IT One way to get the 35-hour week in one swoop would be to persuade Congress to cut the present 40- houif week specified in the Fair Labr Standards Act The unions privately recognize they're in for a long! haul here Work hours also can be reduced throjjgh labor contract negotiations but las one top union strategist told this reporter: "This isn't going to be easy sailing either We can only get Ithe 35-hour week as industries have the physical and financial ability to pay for it The cost problem will have to work itself out" Labor says it wants the shorter week to share jobs with 37 million unemployed There is considerable doubt however that a quick change to a 35-hour week would provide many job openings Why? You would think offhand that cutting ivork hours by an eighth would create close to one million jobs declined to comment on the situa tion I the extra jobs The government has embarked on an ambitious program to train idle workers in new skills but it anticipates providing only partial training to a maximum of 100000 a year Many employers faced with a shorter week requirement simply would have to work their already employed workers beyond a new 35-hour week limit and pay them overtime usually at Vh times the regular pay rate the United States We hope to reach A presidential fact-finding board SAVE BY THE a cut in that is if the man now earning $100 a week for 40 hours work should continue getting $100 on a 35-hour week basis labor' costs would be increased by one-eighth or over 12 per cent How would an employer meet this added cost? There are three ways The boss could (a) increase prices (b) reduce profits or (c) install new labor saving machines He probably would do some of all three A sudden conversion to a 35-hour week therefore almost certainly would cause higher prices and thus inflation It is for this reason that President Kennedy in trying to maintain a stable wage-price line is discouraging any broad-scale changeover to a shorter work week Nor is any sudden general Illinois before my father dies" While the Engs were getting their visas at the US consulate scores of other Chinese refugees were being interviewed and pro 1 charged Americans with being Continued from page 1 Thomas Lanier president of Oxford Manufacturing Co and his wife 55-year-old Robert Pegram Jr retired and former vice president of the bank of Georgia and his wife were killed There were several physicians architects and other executives EIGHT ARTISTS Eight victims were Georgia Artists including Cogland and Mrs Ellen Seydel well known in their fields The mayor said "Atlanta has suffered her greatest tragedy and loss" cessed for admission to the United has recommended a wage increase of 102 cents an hour for clerks telegraphers shop craftsmen- and others in the 11 unions But management said it was recommending too much and labor termed the increase as too small PAY AVERAGES $240 Wages for the non-operating employes current average $242 an hour President Kennedy last month EARN FROM THE equally gunty- "The Bible finds no fault with joy Paul wrote 'Rejoice!
