EXTENSION PLEA
iEDBYF.R.
President Will Send Special
Message' to Congress
Early in January Exten
sion, Strengthening, Aim
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (AP)
President Roosevelt Intends 'o auk
congress early In January to extend
and strengthen the social security
act.
White House officials said today
the chief executive Intended to send
a special message "relative to the
extension of coverage and strength
ening of provision of the social se
curity act."
Presumably the message will trans
mit to congress a copy of the report
carrying recommendations of the
social advisory council.
The council made public Saturday
recommendations the insurance cov
erage be widely extended. -Defense
Discussed
White House officials said possibly
national defense also would be the
subject for a special message, but
that has not yet been determined.
Mr. Roosevelt called In a group
of government officials today to dis
cuss defense problems. Those on the
list were Chairman Edward J. Noble
and Robert Hlnkley of the civil aero
nautic authority; Louts Johnson,
assistant secretary of war. and Aubrey
Williams, deputy WPA administrator.
There were Indications President
Roosevelt would embrace railroad
recommendations In his general mes
sage. The railroad situation, also en
gaged his attention todny In a con
ference with Cnrl Gray and Gorgc
Harrison, members of a special board
which is attempting to find some
solution for the plight of the car
riers. The social security board was de
sert bod by officials today as rendy
to parallel at least In fundamentals
the recommendations of Its ad-
Ylsory council for broad extension of
the federal old age Insurance sys
tem. .
' Detailed Plan Drawn
The board will submit to Presi
dent Roosevelt next month a de
tailed program for expansion of the
social security act. It details have
not been disclosed.
The advisory council proposed last
night Insurance coverage be extend
ed by 1940 to about 8,600,000 workers
now excluded and later to "the
largest possible proportion of our
gainfully employed population," In
cluding business and professional
men, farmers and mechanics.
Advocating the principle of pro
tection for "the family unit," It
proposed benefits for the wives,
widows and children of insured
wnrknrs and also creation of a dis
ability Insurance system to protect
Insured workers deprived of their
earning power before retirement ago.
Contingency Fund Urfjed
With these expansion proposals
ths council made a third major i
leoommendatlon that present plans
for a 947,000.000,000 old age reserve
fund by 1080 be scrapped In favor
of a 'contingency fund, set up as
a trust and bolstered by federal sub
sidy. AU revenue from social security
taxes would be earmarked for this
fund.
Under the plan the government
would pay one-third of the cost of
the old age Insurance program: one
third would come from the payroll
tax on employes, and one-third wouldl
come from the payroll tax on em
ployers. This tax. now one per cent
each on employers and workers. Is
scheduled to go up to 1& per cent
in 1940.
Senator Vandenberg (R., Mich.),
a sponsor of the advisory council,
hailed its report as an "expert, un
partUan clarification of a complex
problom." He predicted Republican
In congress would cooperate In enact
ing the changes It recommrnclcd.

MEDIATION PLAN
LOSES AT LIMA
Pan American Conference
Steering Committee Kills
Cuban Proposal Solid
arity. Defense Issue Near
LIMA, Peru, bee. 19, f AP) The
eighth Pan-Americsn conference, s
steering committee today killed a
Cuban proposal for mediation by
American republics In the Spanish
civil war by a vote of 18 to 8.
The Cuban project would have
sought an Immediate armistice after
which American nations, chiefly the
Spanish -speaking states, would have
offered mediation.
Chief .objection was that the plan
constituted an attempt to involve
the western hemisphere In the affairs
of Europe at a time when the confer
ence waa seeking means of keeping
European hands off purely American
problems. Only Haiti and Mexico
voted with Cuba for the proposal.
Solidarity Issue Near
Ths conference moved nearer ac
tion on the Issue of continental soli
darity and defense when It was an
nounced the Brazilian delegation,
headed by ejc-Porelgn Minister, Afra
nlo Mello Franco, had completed Its
formula for such action.
Informed persona ssld Mello Fran
co's draft Included a declaration that
the signatories would hold themselves
ready to defend the American conti
nent against expansionist designs of
non-American powers and proclaimed
again the American doctrine that lack
of raw materials, excess population
or qfher such pretexts do not confer
rights on nations to acquire the terri
tory of others.
In com of any agression against
an American state the signatories
would sgree to combine Immediately
in a common defense.
Argentina Displeased
Delegates expressed the belief today
Alf M. Ltndon'a speech emphasizing
the Monroe doctrine was highly dis
tasteful to Argentina, which already
had differences with the United
States on the question of continental
solidarity and defense.
A few hours after the speech, how
ever, Istdoro Rubs Moreno, chairman
of the Argentine delegation, declared
"we already have smoothed out some
differences and I am sure a complett
accord will be reached."
Argentina has been fighting the
United States on the matter of conti
nental solidarity ever since ths con
ference opened.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our deep appre
ciation for ths beautiful floral offer
ings and loving sympathy expressed
by our many friends at the time of
the loss of our beloved Nathalie.
