'Home Relief Plan Divides State Officials WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 -JF) State officials split sharply today over President Truman's plan to aid the nation's needy with a vast new "home relief program. Members of congress also were divided on the administration's proposal to expand the social se curity system by adding- 20,000,OOCf workers to the old age insurance rolls and increasing the benefits through more payroll deductions. An Associated Press poll of gov ernors and welfare directors show ed the major "home relief dis pute centered around the sliding scale of federal contributions which the local governments would be called on to match propor tionately. Under the proposal, the largest federal grants would go to those states having the lowest per cap ita income. The maximum payment toward which the federal govern ment would contribute would be $100 per month for husband and wife, and $20 for each additional family member needing aid. Par ticipating states would put up from 40 to 75 per cent of the cost, de pending on their per capita wealth. The other phases of the pro jected social security expansion are expected to boost the current $1300.000,000 in payroll taxes for old age and survivors insurance to about $6,000,000,000. To pay for that, the adminis tration has proposed doubling the Jayroll tax to 2 per cent next anuary 1. The self-employed who would be added to the rolls under the expansion plan would pay t4 per cent levy. House Democratic Leader Mc- Cormack (Mass), conceded that congress may not bring in all the persona Mr. Truman wants cov ered in the new program, put he told a reporter "there is na ques tion but the major part, of the program the president recommen ded will be adopted. But Rep. Taber (R-NY said "I'm not in- favor of taxing the people generally to pay any more gratuities to anybody else; unless it is a direct obligation of the government."
