Social Security Liberalization Likely to Pass; Compromise Sought
WASHINGTON (IP) — Sen. Edward Martin (R-Pa) conceded yester¬ day that Republicans may not be able to hold the line against Democratic proposals to liberalize Social Security bene¬ fits.
"Any time you bring Santa Claus into the picture, you're in trouble." he said in an inter¬ view.
Martin is second ranking Re¬ publican on the Senate Finance Committee, which is considering the administration opposed So¬ cial Security bill passed over¬ whelmingly by the House last year. The measure would lower the Social Security benefit age for women and disabled work¬ ers and increase payroll taxes to pay for the added benefits. Compromise Sought

Both sides remained dead¬ locked after the London talks which ended Friday on the is¬ sues of inspection programs. The Russians have refused to accept completely President Eis¬ enhower's "open sky" aerial in¬ spection program.
The U. S. "disarmament am¬ bassador" said the nSxt impor¬ tant move by the Russians may be a reply to President Eisen bower's proposal of March 5 that future production of nU' clear weapons be frozen. Troop Cut Possible
Russia also may make a uni lateral reduction of its armed forces "in the near future" be¬ cause it needs the manpower for farm and industrial work, Stassen said.
The Russians refused to agree during the London conference to Stassen's proposal that the armed forces of both Russia and the United States be cut to 2.- 500,000 men. The United SUtes currently has 2,900,000 men un¬ der arms. Russia has roughly 4,000,000.

Son of Famed Copt. Colin Kelly Making Name in His Own Righis
CHESTER HEIGHTS, Pa. (W—The son of America's first hero of World War 2 passed an important milestone in his life yesterday—he became 16 years old and eligible to drive an automobile.
Corky Kelly, more formally known as Colin Kelly 3d. re¬ ceived three important gifts from his mother, Mrs. J. Wat¬ son Pedlow. They were a learner's permit to drive a car, a set of license plates, and an automobile insurance policy.
A whole new generation is growing up who never heard of Capt. Colin Purdue Kelly Jr. But early in December. 1941, Captain Kelly's name was just about the only bright topic of conversation follow¬ ing the dismal days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Captain Kelly, killed on a bombing mission three days after Pearl Harbor was at¬ tacked, was America's first hero of Worid War 2. The slim West Point graduate from Madison, Fla., left behind him his pretty widow. Marian, and his baby son, Corky.
The late President Franklin D. Roosevelt made certain .America wouldn't forget young Corky. He wrote a famous letter, now in the National Archives in Washington, ad¬ dressed "to the President of the U. S. in 1956." In it he asked the President in 1956 to "consider the merits of young American youth of goodly heritage ... for ap¬ pointment as a cadet in the U. S. Military Academy at West   Point."
Young Corky is going to take advantage of that oppor-
