- Even that isnt all. It doesn't
count tha funds poured into pen-
sions for firemen police teachers
and other city state and federal
workers. It omits the employes
of hospitals churches charities
and non-profit bodies. It doesnt
count the railroad retirement sys-
tem or the tax-supported pensions
of soldiers end sailors.
It doesn't include state pensions
fnr residents.
Rosier dreams lie ahead. Sec-
retary of Labor Tobin is plug-
ging for a $100 a month federal
pension for "every retired p&r-
son." President Truman has not
- called him off the campaign.
The "Mr. Republican" of Capi-
tol Hill Sen. Taft of Ohio says
this would cost $11 billion a year.
(Social security officials agree it
would cost at least that) Taft
aays it would have to be paid from
taxes because it would be im-
possible to amasa an insurance
fund big enough to swing it (Most
officials and all insurance aw.
agree with that toa)

The unions and in tha case of
teal a presidential fact-finding
board aaid the cost would be ab-
sorbed. But the steel price boost
indicates that tha "fourth round
will no more bo absorbed than
were tha first three rounds.
Those are only samples of the
policy problems which confront
the government as by-products of
tha giant pension system which
is springing up alongside the gov-
ernment's own system.
So far there are few answers.
The "age of security" is dawning
in confusion.
Plane Flies
Three Times
Sound Speed
Los Angeles Dec 39 UP) An
air farce plane reportedly has
flown 1999 miles per hour three
times the speed of sound.
That's the aew record ef the
air force's X-l racket plana
ears tha Lae Angeles Ttmrnf
aviation editor Marvin Miles.
Quoting what ha calls "reliable
informants" Milas today said the
X-l had reached a speed of 1989
miles an hour in the stratosphere
over Edwards air force base at
Muroe Dry Lake.
The speed was given to him as
mach 3 ho said or three times
as fkst as sound. Sonic velocity
is 883 miles an hour between the
altitudes of 85000 and 100000 feet
Miles story did not say wha
was at tha controls bat pre-
sumed H waa Capt. Charles
Yeager or perhaps MaJ. Pete
Bvarest A year and a half age
tha air fares anneuneed that
Yeager would try to fly too X-l
up to 1188 miles an hour the
maximum speed far which it waa
originally designed. Everest
Miles said has been testing lha
rocket-powered eraft
The needle-nosed 31-foot-long
X-l is dropped from the belly
of a Superfortress fnr its flights.
It dlmbs almost vertically to about
80000 feat before beginning its
speed rune. Its four rocket tubes
with a total af 8000 pounds of
thrust can operate far slightly
more than four minutes. At the
end of that period the fuel is ex-
hausted. Milas said air fane officers In
Washington refused to confirm or
deny tha mach S figure.
In December of 1947 Mika re-
ported that Capt Yeager in the
X-l had surpassed the speed of
sound. The air farce did not ad-
mit this until six months later.
About 10 billion glass containers
are used in the United States in
ana year.
