Bill to Save Big Sum WASHINGTON.—A confident! al report of house ways anc means committee, showing thal the revised social security bill wil save employers and employes $1,- 285,000,000 in payroll taxes in th« next three years, was said to have been observed by a news service Monday. The report also cited that old- age insurance benefits have beer liberalized and that aged men, women, dependent parents and children below 18 years old will receive $1.755,000.000 in benefits between 1940 and 1944, inclusive. About 1,100,000 additional per sons will be brought under the old-age pension system by the bill through the addition of seamen, bank employes and persons em ployed over 65 years old. The ways and means committee considered the report in secret session, but adjourned until today to complete a study of its 111 pages. Before formally reporting the measure the committee will con sider increasing federal contribu tion to old-age pensions from $15 to $20 a month and increasing from a third to one-half the amount to be matched by states for benefits to dependent children. With the Townsend old-age pension plan to be voted on in the house Thursday, indications are that the increase in federal old-age pensions will be voted. Thus, in states which grant pen sions equal to the maximum fed eral contribution, $40 monthly benefits will be paid the aged.
