Whether the historic 78th con
gress will end in hurmony or in
bitter strife was figured today
on n slim one-half of 1 per cent.
That was the measure of a
proposed compromise, passed
along the corridors, in the
brewing controversy over ef
forts to "freeze" tho social se
curity tax at 1 per cent instead
of letting it rise automatically
January 1 to 2 per cent, as the
law now provides and as the
administration wishes.
Those seeking to avoid an
other showdown fight between
the White House and anti-ad-ministrationists
indicated a wil
lingness to split the difference
and let the tax go at 1 is per
cent.
The 1 per cent tax. support
ing the old age and survivors'
insurance program, now is
yielding about $1,500,000,000
annually for the program's re
servo fund. "Frcezists" and "an-ti-freezists'1
differ on whether
the increased tax is needed to
guarantee a healthy condition
for this fund.
And the "freezists" were not
sure they could override a veto,
if successful in passing their
bill.
The ways and means commit
tee, in its first post-election
meeting - yesterday, opened the
way for a battle, if not a com
promise, by calling open hear
ings beginning Monday on
whether "to freeze or not to
freeze."
The committee, ignoring a
request by President Roosevelt,
refused by a 15 to 9 vote to
consider legislation to revive
federal minimum price regula
tions in the bituminous coal in
dustry. The price program died
last year when the committee
voted against an extension of
its powers.
