BKtXEMME MEMCU MM-TV IN
Pledges Two Mots Kflled Congress To Start
Over On Pay Hie
WASHINGTON irfit—Congresj
started from scratch again
Wednesday on postal pay legisla-
tion because the Senate sustained
President Eisenhower's veto of the
i first Democratic-sponsored effort.
Chairman Olin 1*. Johnson < D-
|S. C.) called the Senate Host Of-
| fice and Civil Service committee
i into a morning session to work on
another bill.
Mr. Eisenhower's first veto of
the Democratic controlled 84th
Congress was put to a vote in the
Senate late Tuesday. There were
54 votes to overrule and 39 to sus-
tain. the majority being eight short
of the two-thirds needed to over-
turn a veto. |
The vetoed bill called for salary
increases averaging 6.8 per cent
for 500,000 postal employes. Mr.
Eisenhower, who had advocated a
7.6 per cent raise; said the pay
schedule was unfair to some em-
ployes and that the J180 million
annual cost was too high.

Summing up Tuesday, Kelley

The defense had disdained to
counter the prosecution case, and

With Cocktails
By ELIZABETH TOOMET
NEW YORK il'Pi—The men and
women who sat on the leather bar
stools were white-haired and not
so yountc as they'd like to be, but
they were Kay as they sipped be-
fore-dinner cocktails.
The setting: An nlk folks home,
1965 version.
The scene was a little bar at
the Mary Manning Walsh residence
for old people in Manhattan, oper-
ated by the Catholic order of Car-
melite Sisters.
The face* reflected in the mirror
behind the bar were just a few of
the 750,000 .lien and women in old
a*e institutions who have benefit-
ted from the spreading theory that
a home for old folks helps th« m en
joy life, not just stay alive.
All across the nation eoually
startling departures from rockine-
.•hair routines can be found |
rhnrrhes, lodges, labor unions, lo-
cal governments and private citi
zttis h '> built homes of all sizes
and designs in the past 10 year*. 1
They ranged from those free of
charce or based on the ability to J
pay to luxurious institutions v here
a wealthier oldei person may turn
ovei fUS imh in return for a guar-
antee of complete care the rest of
his life.
The problems of aging have be-
come one of the nation's No. 1 con-
cetti* as the life ;,pfcn is lengthen-
ed by science. There are almost 15
million Americans fif> or over and
the rate goes up by 400,tM)0 each
year.
Most of them are in their own
homes or living with children or
lelatives. But an ever-increasing
number are living in homes for the
aged that bear little resemblance
to the once dreaded "poor house."
"The 'poor house' was the gate-
way tu oblivion for old people."
says Dr. Murray Federber, assist-
ant professor at the University of
Pittsburgh and a leader in plan-
ning one of the nation's most mod-
ern country homes for the ag«d.
It is a S20 million home and hos-
pital which will be completed neat
summer. The building is designed
so that 1.100 of the 2,000 residents
will have rooms accesible directly
to ground level. Those who arent
bed patients will lire in "colony"
style and have a solarium, snack
bar, shuffle board rooms, TV
rooms, beauty parlors and an audi-
torium.
