Grumbling Heard When Senators
Revamp Social Security Measure
By PETER EDSON
NEA Wuhlnfton Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA) A bitter floor fight looms over what the
Senate Finance committee hat done to the House-passed bill to
amend the social security law. Two things in particular will be the
cause for wrangling between the two chambers. They are the Senate
rejection of House proposals to inaugurate a system of disability
insurance and to increase public assistance benefits to the needy.
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing, Social Security Com
missioner Arthur J. Altmeyer and
their forces may be counted on to
lead a fight to have these provi
sions reinstated. They will have full
support from the labor union lob
byists, who feel that the benate
Finance committee recommends-

tions are a severe blow.
Another source of opposition will
come from state governments.
Many states New York, for in
stance had planned their budgets
counting on greater federal aid for
public assistance. If the Senate rec
ommendations for reducing public
assistance grants tan be made to
stick, a greater financial burden
will be thrown back on the states.
This would hit tha poorer states
particularly hard.
First reaction in Washington was
that the Senate committee action
represented a 100 percent victory
for the insurance companies in
knocking out disability insurance.
The Senators have also recom
mended no immediate increase in
rates of premiums paid by employ
er and employe, and recommended
keeping the wage base limit on
which social security deductions
are calculated to the first $3,000 of
income, instead of raising it to
$3,600 or higher.
A second and more careful look
at the Senate committee proposals,
however, reveals they would take
in more workers and pay higher
old-age assistance benefits than the
House-passed bill.
To understand what all the argu
ing will be about, these main dif
ferences between the Senate com
mittee recommendations and the
House-passed bill may be kept in
mind.
Would Extend Coverage
There are now about 35,000,000
workers in the Social Security sys
tem, ine House Dill would take m
7,000,000 more. The Senate would
raise this to an estimated 8,280,000
plus another 1,500,000 who might be
brought in as voluntary partici
pants. The total number covered
by the Senate would therefore be
close to 45,000.000 workers.
The Senate would take in 800,000

Good Seed Year
Ahead For Stands
Of Douglas Fir
A bountiful seed year is in the
making in the vast Douglas fir
forests of Washington and Oregon,
according to W. D. Hagenstein,
forester engineer for the forest
conservation committee of the Pa
cific Northwest Forest industries.
Tiny, inch-long green cones now
thickly cover hundreds of millions
of trees throughout the region.
They will grow and ripen during
the summer.
Conditions are ideal, Hagenstein
said, for excellent reseeding during
the coming fall when the cones
ripen. Loggers burned lots of slash
last fall and large areas of forest
stubble are ready for natural seed
ing. .
"We have one big worry today,"
the forester said. "Only fires,
caused by man's carelessness, can
spoil this potentially fine seed year.
Every user of our forests should be
on the alert to prevent fires and
should observe every possible pre
caution all summer long." i
"Nature will plentifully reseed
tens of thousands of acres this
fall," the forest leader pointed out.
"All man has to do is protect these
naturally seeded forests while sun
and rain and the good earth grow
more crops of usable wood."
Two Interior Posts
Filled By President
WASHINGTON, May 27 UP)
President Truman Friday nominat
ed Dale E. Doty of Pasadena
Calif., to be assistant secretary of
the Interior. Doty is now special
assistant to Secretary Chapman.
The White House also announced
that Mr. Truman had approved
the appointment of Vernon D.
Northrop as administrative assis
tant to chapman. iNortnrop, 43-year-old
native of Scranton, Pa ,
has been in charge of the depart
ment's office of administrative
management.
The post which Doty fills was
created in the department under
a reorganization plan approved by
Congress. It pays $15,000 a year.
His appointment must be con
firmed by the Senate.
Northrop will get $14,000 a year.
His appointment does not require
Senate approval. He is a native of
licdlands, Calif.
farm workers employed by one
employer for 60 days and earning
$50 or more in any three months.
The Senate would also take in an
undetermined number of share
croppersestimated to be as high
as 300,000.
The Senate would also take in
200,000 employes of nonprofit or
ganizations. There was a curious
committee fight on this. Under the
House bill, both employers and
employes of nonprofit religious or
ganizations would be required to
contribute to the social security
system The Catholics objected to
this compulsory taxation. Other de
nominations joined in tho protest
all except the Baptists.
At first the Senate Finance com
mittee voted to exclude all em
ployes of religious organizations on
a mandatory basis. This created
such a nrotcst. however, that the
Senate committee finally reversed
i itself and voted to allow religious
organizations to oDiain social se
curity coverage for their employes
on a voluntary basis.
The Senate knocked out the com
plicated House bill formulas in
tended to increase federal share of
public assistance grants to states
making low assistance payments to
tho needy. The Senate also recom
mends making no additional pay
ments to the mothers or caretakers
of dependent children now eligible
to receive public assistance. The
Senate committee voted to increase
appropriations for various child
service programs from $29,000,000
to $04,000,000.
I While the House had recommend
! ed increasing federal old age and
I survivors' insurance benefits by
an average of 70 percent, the Sen
ate committee rercommenos in
l creases of 90 percent.

Romanian Envoys
In U. S. Restricted
WASHINGTON, UP) The
United States has clamped tight
restrictions on the movement of
Romanian diplomats in the United
States.
The move was in retaliation for
actions taken against the American
legation in Bucharest by Roma
nia s Communist government.
Announcing the step, Undersec
retary of State Webb said Roma
nia has been informed that the
United States will reduce its of

mand that the staff be slashed to
10 persons.

Creation Of Nationwide Civil
Defense Program Will Likely
Be Finished In About 2 Years
WASHINGTON UP) Government experts figure it will take two
yean before states and cities get around to setting up a permanent
nationwide civil defense program.
The civilian defense office in the National Security Resources board
says it will have a plan for a permanent program ready for states and
communities in September. A permanent plan doesn't mean perfect
protection only the best that seems possible.
Getting the plans in operation is
something else. That is why a tem
porary, emergency plan also is
being developed to give cities an
idea of bow they could use the:r
present equipment and manpower
in case of an immediate attack.
So far only 20 states have passed
civil defense or "disaster prepared
ness laws. Plans for dealing with
disasters have been developed by
administrative action in seven otner
states.
That leaves 21 without laws. What
the count is on cities nobody
knows.
NSRB is working on suggested
models for civil defense laws for
the states and ordinances for the
cities. It i.opes to send them around
within a few weeks in hopes legis
latures and city councils will pro
vide some action and money before
another summer comes around.
Many legislatures will be meeting
next spring, NSRB officials say.
and that is when they hope for
some real results.
What they are proposing is that
a state pass a law setting up .a
civil defense council, authorizing
formal appointment of a iirector,
and empowering the governor and
the director to go into action and
mobilize help in event of disaster.
Furthermore, NSRB says the
governor and his budget chief
should be thinking about putting
into me nuagct tor next year an
appropriation to finance the coun
cil .ind pay the salaries of the
director and his staff.
Then, the federal planners are !
urging, the governor or tthe civil
defense director should prod their
cities to duplicate the state system
on a community scale, with local
counci s and directors and local
appropriations.
They say the laws and ordinances
ought to. be so worded that the
states and cities can get busy on
the national civil defense plan with-
out any delay. t
Until they do, the emergency
plan will be available starting
this summer. It is being worked i
out on the basis of something like
war games in Washington, Chicago i
and Seattle. i
These cities are going to assume
they have been atom bombed and
figure out what they would do, be
fore and after the attack, with the
people and equipment they would
have available at the moment.
Whatis learned in the three-city
project will be passed along to
other cities for their guidance.
