Senate Votes To let Million Retire At 60 The Senate voted Monday to let an estimated 3.5 million persons retire at age 60 under Social Security and get reduced benefits. The present minimum retirement age is 62. The proposal by Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-.W. Va., was approved 55 to 28, as an amendment to the administration's bill to restore the 7 per cent investment tax credit. The Senate has approved a series of unrelated amendments to the bill, including repeal of the residential campaign fund law and a provision to allow tax credit for parents sending their children to college. Shortly before the Social Security amendment was adopted, the Senate defeated, 71-to-14, a proposal by Sen. Vance Hartke, DInd., to reduce the federal auto excise tax from 7 per cent to 4 per cent. Byrd's amendment to lower the retirement age would cost the Social Security trust fund an estimated $425 million during the first 12 months of operation. An individual who now retires at 62 gets 80 per cent of the benefits he would be entitled to at age 65. Under the Byrd measure, a person could retire at 60 and get 76 per cent of the maximum benefit. He would get 76 per cent if he retired at 61. Modern music is as dangerous as cocaine. TOOTHACHE Don't suffer agony in seconds get relief that lasts with ORA-JEL.

Appeals Court Upholds Negroes' High Test Scores The Appelate Division of the State supreme court, in a "landmark" ruling of "vast significance" to minority workers, has unanimously upheld the high scores earned by 24, Negroes on their, entrance examination for apprenticeship training in the Sheet Metal Workers International AsSociation. The examination scores had been disputed as "Improbable" by the Joint Apprenticeship committee, representing employers in the industry, and Local 28 of the Sheet Metal workers International Association, They planned a new examination, and the State Com mission for Human Rights took the case to court in a move to validate the test scores. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which entered the case as Amicus Curiae, submitted an affidavit by Dr, Kenneth Clark, noted psychologist, supporting the view that "ability is not fixed in childhood but on the contrary is subject to dramatic improvement where Negro and Puerto Rican Children who had received inferior education later received instruction from a gifted teacher which they were highly motivated to under stand and absorb." Robert L. Carter, NAACP general counsel, said the decision handed down April 13 "should foreclose future attempts by building trades unions to eliminate Negro apprentices from their programs after they have demonstrated superior qualifications in impartial examinations." Bernard Katzen, vice chairmen of the state Commission, expressed appreciation to the NAACP for Joining as Amicus Curiae in support of our court application. The Association made a valuable contribution is the proceedings which led to the decision," which he called "landmark" ruling of "vast significance.' The Negro applicants had been tutored by Dennis Derryck of the Workers Defense League, who had previously, taught mathematics to gifted high school children and had given mathematics instruction to Negro vocational school graduate which enabled them to go on to college. However, the Union and Joint Apprenticeship Committe submitted an affidavit by Dr. Wallace Gobetz of the NYU Testing Center which said that tutoring can not aptitude and that the tests given, had been aptitude tests. At the same time he admitted that college students or graduates could have received very high scores on the examination, indicating that education would play a decisive role in determining the test results. Crucial research submitted to the court by the NAACP revealed that scholarly authorities such as the Mental Measurement Year Book Defined the particular tests used for admission to this apprenticeship program as achievement tests which merely concern a limited range of material, this material can be absorbed within a 75-hour course such as the one given to the Negro examinees with obvious success.
