President to Sic Pension Bill Toe WASHINGTON (AP) A bill designed to pro- retirement benefits of JO million American workers enrolled in private pension plans becomes today. President Ford chose, Labor Day to sign the Employe Retirement Income Security Act, the culmination of several years work in Congress. He invited 194 business and labor leaders, congressmen and administration officials to attend today's ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. Among the labor leaders who accepted the invitation were presidents George Jleany of the I.W. Abel of the Sleelworkers and Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers.

Ford was Interrupting his first weekend visit to Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, to return to the White House for the signing. The pension bill for the first time guarantees workers rights to some retirement benefits if they change jobs after a. certain length of service. It also seeks to assure that the money for pensions be there when workers retire. Some 300,000 to 400,000 exist ing private pension plans and those that may be set up in the future are affected by the law But the law does not require employers without pension plans to establish them.

Only about half the U.S. work force has such protection. Nor does the bil! necessarily increase pension benefits which now average about $141 a month for retired workers. But the legislation contains so-called "vesting'' provisions which guarantee the employe all the pension benefits to which he is entitled after no more than 15 years of service. An employer may pick one three options for vesting: Thunderstorms tide New Cool Front to State By The Associated press Thunderstorms rode a new ool front through the Pan- andle-Plains sector of Texas oward the south and east to- lay, and the state's coastal wellers trained cautious eyes the movements of Hurricane TERRELL HILL FOUND HANGING Around the BOUNTY BARBER SHOP at 25th N.E.

Mixed among moderate to leavy showers, sometimes se- ere thunderstorms ranged rom the northeast part of the Texas Panhandle into Okla- mma and from around Lub- jock, Cliildress and Vernon southward to Marfa in the West Texas mountains.

rights to accumulated benefits only after 13 years, but nothing if the employe left before. The third provides for 5C per cent vesting an employe's age and yeaw of service equal 45. The final GO per cent would come in the next five years, The bill requires that each company put enough money into its plan so that'it is fully funded. A Penefit Guaranty Corp. is established under the Labor Department and funded by employer contributions to pay benefits if a ponton plan fails or a cpmnaay quits business.

It offers fax incentives to individual employes not in pension plans to set up their own reiirement programs and to self-employed persons to improve their programs. For the first time, the law fixes tough standards of conduct and accountability for persons administering pension plans. Plans must foe certified by an actuary at least every three years. Finally the bill requires that all employes admitted to a pension plan ttiey reach age 25 and have at least one year of service with a company. The new pension regulations are effective immediately for newly established retirement plans.

Plans already in existence would be allowed until Dec. 31, 1975, to put the new vesting rules into effect. Mrs. H. H.

(AP)- cyenty-one-year-old Frances ledge, lost for four days on the ugged slopes of a mountain, kept herself alive by eating berries, sleeping on a ern bod and using survival uchniques learned years ago.

When she did not return to the party, the group searched, then called authorities. She was found Sunday by a forest ranger just over a mile from the headquarters of a 100- member search party. "She was sitting in a trail, holding two sticks she used for walking," said David Kiser, the ranger at Mt. Hood Nationa Forest east of Portland who found Miss Hodge. "I was sur prised that she looked in as good condtion as she did.

She looked almost as neat as the pictures carried in the newspapers, except her dress was a little soiled." 'She said, 'I'm lost, 1 Riser said. Searchers, who had called In lelicopters to bolster their ef- 'orts, shook their heads in disbelief when they were told she had been found just a short dis- ance from the boundary of string they had set a few days earlier. Clad in a housedress and sturdy oxfords, the former biology teacher and medical librarian told Kiser that she had kept herself alive with survival techniques learned years ago in a hiking club. "She was in pretty wild coun try," the ranger said. "If sTie would have gone north she would have hit the steep bluffs overlooking the Columbia River.

Otherwise, she would have continued in the rolling terrain with some pretty steep slopes and canyons." Kiser said he had a brief conversation with Miss Hodge, determined that she was in good condition, and left her so he could alert the search party. "She didn't seem alarmed at being left again," said Kiser "She just asked for something to sit on, so I gave her my vest."

Sulphur Springs; Mrs. Mrs. Elgie Lillie FROM Chick "A Pretty Good.Place To Eat" Some people got all upset about this Watergate thing, but Watergate is kinda like an iceberg. Only about of an iceberg is visible and the big dangerous part of it you can't see. The visible corruption we see in Washington is just a small part of the trouble with America.

The other day I was talking to a lady who operates a business right here in the vyholesome, upstanding, corruption-free community of Paris, long way from Washington. The welfare office here in Paris called her requesting some information about one of her employees who was on welfare. The lady told them she didn't have an employee by that name, and the welfare office individual told her they knew the employee was using two different names because she was married and her husband was working and actually the employee was not eligible to draw welfare. Now I hat is just one little incident and there's no telling how many more cases like that are here in Paris. You multiply that by Die several thousand communities and cities there are in America and it makes Watergate look like some kids stealing a watermelon out of a 100 acre field.

And that is just in the welfare program. There are many other government programs operated with about the same degree of corruption. If they want to have a good juicy impeachment, what they should do is work up a class action suit against alt government bureaucrats. We need, to start with those in Washington and come all the way down to those in Paris. The sad part is, all of these people are probably basically good people, but so were the individual members the Gestapo.

It's just that one little step leads to another and if the steps arc headed in the wrong direcion, the end result is bad. And if bumper stickers are any indication of things to come, we'should have a good crop of cowboys coming off the next few years.

The sleek, black Lockheed SR71 flew from New York to the south coast of England, a distance of 3,490 miies, in 1 hour 55 minutes and 42'seconds Sunday. Flying as high as 15 miles, it averaged 1,817 miles 1 an hour, a spokesman said. The plane, known as the Blackbird, overshot the runway at the Farnborough International Air Show 20 miles southwest of London, raced on to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, wheeled sharply and flew back to Farnborough.

"One slight miscalculation and we would have made it a New York-Paris record," one of the two crewmen, Maj. Noel F. Widdiefield, told President Ford whan the President telephoned to congratulate him and Maj. Jiii'. V.

Sullivan on their "magnificent achievement." The Air Force said it was asking the Federation Aeronau- tique Internationale, which accredits all aviation records, to certify the Blackbird's time as the New York-to-London record. The fastest previous crossing of the Atlantic was .3 hours 9 minutes from Boston to Paris, flown last June by the Concorde, the Anglo-French supersonic jetliner. The previous New York-to-London record was 4 hours 46 minutes, set five years ago by a British navy old pilot, is from Wheeler and Widdifield, 33, from Anderson, Ind.
