Lewis Proves UMW Fund Can Support $100 Pension
John L. Lewis unveiled a Latimer actuarial study showing the United Mine Workers welfare fund, financed by a 10 cent per ton coal royalty, can sustain a $100 a month pension at age 62 for miners with 20 years service. Latimer disputed operators claims of only $50, arguing the fund could cover the full pension and leave substantial balances after ten years. The plan faces court challenges from operator trustee Ezra Van Horn, and projections estimate 22,000 pensioners in year one with $8.4 million in outlays, growing to a $45.5 million load in 1957 while the fund retains a large balance.

Draft plan for 18-year-olds scrapped in Senate talks
Washington reports that most of the Senate Armed Services Committee backed redrafting the 18-year-old draft proposal. The plan now allows 18-year-olds to volunteer for one year of service before four years in National Guard or reserve units, with 19 to 25-year-olds subject to two years of service. The move aligns with a House measure calling for 19 through 25 years with 18 through 30 registration, while opposition from leaders and several senators remains strong.
