Then, although procedures per mit four days of debate Ja bi-partisan drive began for a final vote by tomorrow night. Speaker Ray burn said passage is certain. Some members voiced hope the bill might soften labor's demands for special pension plans finance; wholly by employers. In the fed eral insurance progrant the costs are shared equally by workers and their employers. Besides expanding old age and survivors insurance coverage, the administration bill would boost benefits by 70 to 80 per cent, ere- ate new cusaDiuiy insurance, ana treble 'payroll taxes in the next 20 years, to finance the expanded program. Here is what the administration bill would do: 1. Increase from 35,000,000 to 46,000,000 the number jbf workers covered by old age and survivors Insurance. Brought Into the pro gram would be about 4,500,000 non-farm self-employed persons, 3.800.000 employes of state and lo cal governments (if these govern ments want their employes to par ticipate), 750,000 domestic ser vants, and several smaller groups. Farmers and farm workers would not be covered. j 2. Boost benefits by an average of 70 to 80 per cent 3. Establish anew insurance for persons who become rto tally and permanently disabled. Thus, in ad dition ; to benefitting fan Insured person in old age. or his survivors If he dies, the Insurance would be extended to protect persons who through illness or accident become unable to work. 4. Increase taxes.

In money the new flaxes would jump social security collections from the present 1,800,000,000 a year to around $2700,000,000 next year, and to about $3,600,000,000 In 1931. r Congress Set " i.

Tourist Trade Previous Mark Oregon's 1949 tourist business brought estimated' revenues of $110,000,000 into the state, the Oregon state highway commission travel Information department an nounced Tuesday. This was an Increase of 19 per cent over the 1948 estimate of $92,000,000 and surpassed the-1947 estimate of $105,000,000 which was the previous record. The last pre war travel year of 1941 was credit ed with a total of $51,000,000. The 1949 figures were based on state highway department traf fic check of out-of-state automo biles at 15 major points of entry. The survey revealed the average 1949 expenditure per day per per son was $5.73 as compared to $5.33 during the 1948 travel year. Each out-of-state car represented an expenditure of $113.39, based on an average load of 2.9 persons per car and an average stay of 6.6 days in Oregon, or equaling, $39.10 per person. These, figures represent motor lsts who stayed In campgrounds as well as those who patronized hotels, auto courts and other re sorts.

Stas SL Murray, Lewis May End Feud To Settle Strike By The Associated Press There ' was speculation Tuesday. that John L. Lewis and Philip Murray may suspend their long standing personal feud and work together to settle the simultaneous strikes of 500.000 steel workers and 400,000 miners. But there was nothing definite indicating any move to get the 900,000 strikers back to work and end the $30,000,000 a day stop pages. And hopes of settling the 26- day old. Missouri Pacific railroad strike dimmed. The railroad re jected a union proposal for settle ment in full of 191 of the 282 union claims which led to the strike Secretary of Commerce Sawyer said the steel-coal walkout is be ginning to have serious effects on some industries. Government con trols on steel exports are being considered, he added. Westing house Electric corporation said it is rationing certain home applian ces to dealers and distributors be cause of the : possibility that steel shortage will mean reduced production. Washing machines. vacuum cleaners, electric ranges and large refrigerators were among the items Westinghouse has put on an allocation basis. In soma areas of the far flung coal fields, continued operation of independent mines rankled deeply among Lewis' United Mine worker unionists and ; UMW pickets ar- rayed themselves against non 1 union miners as well as employers. The tipple of the C V. Fink and Son mine near Clearfield, Pa, was damaged Tuesday by an explos- Ion which state police said was caused by dynamite.

Curb Against Union Asked At Hie Dalles THE DALLES. Oct. t-flPV-Own ers of a bargeload of Hawaiian pineapple said tonight the NLRB would be asked to curb CIO long shore action that halted unload ing of; the fruit here last week. R. M; Botley, agent for Isleways, Ltd., said the national labor rela tions board would be asked to in voke the secondary boycott clause of the Taft-Hartley labor law. He said the company's attorneys would file the action tomorrow in Portland. CIO; stevedores stormed a city owned river dock here last Wed nesday, brushed aside non-union dock workers and police and In Jured two AFL 'truck drivers in the brief raid. The; barge of pineapple was berthed at this far inland Colum bia river port Sept. 25 to avoid picketing at major coast ports. The CIO .longshoremen involved in the; disruption of the pnloading were from Portland. The cargo was., listed as "unfair' after it left Hawaii, where Harry Bridges' longshoremen had tid up the waterfront for months. Botley said there would be no further attempt to unload the $800,000 of canned fruit destined for California canneries until the NLRB had acted. A Wasco county (The Dalles) grand; Jury has been ordered to convene Thursday to consider criminal indictments stemming from the riverfront strife here. State's Attorney General George Neuner announced at Salem that he had assigned Deputy Fred Miller, formerly district attorney of Clackamas county, to work with Wasco District Attorney Don Heisler to assist in prosecution of any f of the Wasco grand Jury in dictments.' There has been no trouble since a circuit court ordered the union to cease picketing and state police shotgun squads patrolled the dock. The court yesterday rescinded Its order because it no longer was deemed necessary. The cargo owners had also been asked by the city dock commission to move the barge elsewhere.
