Plan Offered to Meet
Soviet Trade Challenge
NEW YORK, Peb. 3 (AP).—Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson proposes that the United States set up a committee
of businessmen to give advice on strategy to defeat the Soviet
Union’s world economic challenge.
The Texas Democrat says he is confident the United States
will win any economic duel.
Addressing 300 New York State newspaper publishers and
editors at a dinner last night, —— ——
Senator Johnson called for a
full-scale congressional Inves
tigation of trade and foreign
aid policies in the face of trade
competition from the Soviet
Union.
"Right now,” he said, “we
should be planning bold, im
aginative programs to open up
new markets.”
Soviet Boss “a Hustler”
Describing Nikita Khru
shchev as a “hustler,” Senator
Johnson said the Soviet Pre
mier is constantly searching
for new trade outlets in “the
deadly business of taking over
chunks of the world real estate!
for communism.”
“There is no reason why we
can’t beat him at this game,”
the Senator declared.
Senator Johnson answered
questions from the audience for
a half hour after his prepared
speech.
One of his answers was: “By
and large, the Soviet empire is
ahead of us in the missile field.”
Hails Virginia Integration
On another question, he called
the peaceful integration of
Schools in Norfolk and Arling
ton, Va. f “a real tribute to our
system.”
“And I think that will hap
pen all across our land if we
Just will it that way,” he added.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Policies Taken Over
From Old Associations
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staß Writer
The Civil Service Commission today announced it has com
pleted taking over the life insurance assets and obligations of
27 employe beneficial associations covering 138,000 present and
former Government workers.
Under the law approved by Congress, the commission was
authorized to take over the programs frpm the associations
and thus save the life insur-1 j
ance policies totaling (205 mil- :
lion of these 136,000 employes
which otherwise would have ,
lapsed. It wasn’t until now, j
however, that the CSC com
pleted the conversion program t
which has taken several years. ,
The associations were forced j
out of business by the more ,
liberal Federal Employe Life ,
Insurance Act enacted three -
or four years ago. fi
From now on, all the present j
and former Federal employes/
who held policies in these ,
groups will make their premium |
payments to the Civil Service ,
Commission. Individuals will ,
be billed directly by the CSC. ,
The amounts of the life insur- ,
ance policies held in the vari
ous associations will be the
same under the new program. {
It should be emphasized that ,
these policies have nothing to',
do with the regular life insur- ,
ance policies held by Federal '
workers under the Federal Em- ,
ploye Life Insurance Act, ex- ,
cept that they will be admin
istered by the CSC as part of
its overall duties in the Govern- ,
ment life insurance program. ! .
Here is a list of the assocla- .
tions in the Washington area j
whose obligations have been ,
taken over by the CSC: j.

and Disability Department, Na- 1 ,

HEALTH. INSURANCE
DRIVE—The National Postal

tioned its members that en
actment of health insurance
legislation for Government
workers and their families will
be no snap this year.
The NPTA is still optimistic
about the chances for enact
ment this year, but it declares
that Government employe
groups have a hard job on their
hands and wl}l have to wage
an all-out drive, similar to last
year’s pay raise campaign, to
achieve success. NPTA offi
cials, as well as other Govern
ment employe union leaders,
are concerned lest complacency
among Federal workers jeop
ardize the bill’s chances.

American grows with

to an all-time high
t , V T * f| ,
.. . with assets over
*54,000,000
Sounds incredible, hut it’s true! The American Savings and Loan Associa
tion, operating one office, without any branches, has assets of over $54,000,000. We’re
proud of this achievement and happy to he part of a forward-looking community. You
might wonder how this phenomenal growth came about ... what could he the primary
reasons for such a success story. Chances are, one of your friends or neighbors could
tell you—for the people of Metropolitan Washington—over 25.000 families and individ
uals—made the growth of American Savings and Loan Association possible.
i
Now, big investors and piggy bank savers, regardless of their differences in
invested savings, have two things in common. They both want their monev to be safe and
secure. At American their funds are Insured-Safe up to SIO,OOO. And that’s not all.
American has one of the highest ratios of reserves of any Savings and Loan Association
in all of Washington. In fact our reserves as of December 31, 1958. were 11.3% of
invested capital. This stability is what draws so many smart savers to our doors. Another
thing that both the piggy hank saver and the big investor want is a good return on their
money. And that is one of the very reasons why American has grown so large. For over
84 years American has steadily paid the highest dividends consistent with safety.
We invite you to consider saving your money with American. Call our
office and we will send you our annual statement. If you want to check our rate of
dividend with other savings institutions we invite comparisons. If you’re interested
in a home loan we will try to help you. Many people open accounts with us by mail
—so can you. Others like our Drive-In Teller Window—we think you will, too. There
is one thing everyone likes —and that is American’s simple courtesy and warmth for the
many thousands of people who have made us one of the great thrift institutions of the
Nation’s Capital, and one of the many successful businesses in southeast.
