Welfare funds generally are financed by employers, and now total some $22 billion, according to reliable estimates. Some 11.3 million persons are covered by welfare and pension plans. The Taft-Hartley act provides that unions and management both take part in administering welfare funds covered by collec tive bargaining agreements. Partly owing to weaknesses , in the act, however, unions some times have assumed the major role in governing these funds, although employers are the chief contributors, the Chamber points out. It is important to recognize, the Chamber says, that it is good business and good human re lations for private industry to concern itself deeply with these vast employee welfare funds. They should be so administered that benefits will accrue only to the working people foi whom they were intended. This is the responsibility of management as well as the unions. When a wel fare plan is unsound, or hishon estly administered, both labor, management and the public are hurt. The Chamber also has rec ommended that both employers and labor leaders cooperate in seeking legislation setting up strict standards for administra tion of welfare funds. TV There are now between 30, 000,000 and 35,000,000 regular TV sets in the homes of the na tion. Production of color TV sets for the coming year is ex pected to be only a fraction of this total about 325,000 sets. rZS2SSZrc5S u u u xS3 3 zr - Plan Program To Improve Pups!

John W. Glocl:, former Newman Grove superintendc of schools, is the present re search director. The decision to engage in. the program was made following a morning -" long demonstration of new equipment and techni nues designed to improve read ing. R. C. Hamilton, sales manag er for the Keystone View Co., presented demonstrations of the Ortho - Rater, Telebinoc ular, and Tachistoscone to the 100 Council members in attend ance. Dr. Earle Wiltse , Grand Island superintendent Ox i schools, gave further impetus to the program in his address to the Council at the noon lun cheon. Dr. Wiltse reminded Council members that the purpose oi the organization was to im prove education in Nebraska scools through cooperative ef- ! forts. This has been done by sever al programs of the Council, es pecially in the field cf school administration, Dr. Wiltse ad mitted. But, he said, there war, a need for a long range plan to improve some area of in struction in the schools. Dr. Wiltse reviewed the plan to improve .reading that is be ing put into effect in the Grand Island Junior and Senior high schools this year. He encourag ed every Council member to en gage in a similar project in their schools.
