But Action Unlikely Until 1950
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-P
ine House Ways and Means
committee Is putting finishing
touches on legislation intended to
insure about 42,000,000 of Ameri
ca's working people against want
in their old age.
Moreover, the legislation If it
becomes law would:
1. Boost by about 70 percent
the benefits being received bv
2.500.000 persons now retired, or
by their survivors if they have
died. Increase by an average of
SO percent the benefits of Insured
persons yet to retire, or to their
survivors if they die.
2. Liberalize by about $160.-

insurance program. The federal
government now is contributing
about $1,100,000,000 a year for
this purpose.

(In the Insurance program the

assistance is direct relief based
on need.)
4. Increase the payroll taxes
that support the insurance pro
gram. The committee's new
schedule calls for a boost from
the present one percent each on
employes' pay and employer'
payrolls, to 1 12 percent on each
January 1, to 2 percent on each
January, 1951; 2 1-2 percent in

percent on each In 1970.
This Is the most Important so
cial security law revision approv
ed by the committee since 1919
when Congress brought "surviv
ors" of the insured into the pro
gram, along with providing bene
fits for the insured persons in
their old age.
The program goes a long wav
toward what President Truman
has asked Congress to do.
However, there is little chance
that the legislation will be ap
proved finally this vear. The
House may act upon It. A legis
lative Jam In the Senate prob

action until 1950.
