Growls Heard as Senators
“Revamp Social Security Bi
evamp Social Security Bill
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —A bitter floor fight
1c sms over what the Senate Finance Commrittee
has done to the House-passed bill to amend the
social security law. Two things in particular will be
the cguse for wrangling between the two chambers.
They are the Senate rejection of House proposals
to inaugurate a system of disability insurance and
10 increase public assistance benefits to the needy.,
Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing,
Social Security Commissioner Arthur J. Altmeyer
and their forces may be counted on to lead a fight
t> have these provisions reinstated. They will have
full support from the labor union lobbyists, who
{~-] that the Senate Finance Committee recommen
dations are a severe blow.
Another source of opposition will come from
s! ‘te governments, Many states—New York, for in
stance—had planned their budgets counting on
greater federal aid for public assistance. If the
Senate recommendations for reducing public as
sistance grants can be made to stick, a greater
financial burden will be thrown back on the
states. This would hit the poorer states particularly
hard,
First reaction in Washington was the Senate
committee action represented by a 100 percent vic
tory for the insurance companies in knocking out
disability insurance, The senators have also recom
mended no immediate increase in rates of prem
iums paid by employer and employe, and recom
rended keeping the wage base limit on which
social security deductions are calculated to the first
$3,000 of income, instead of raising it to $3,600 or
higher,
A second and more careful look at the Senate
committee proposals, however, reveals they would
take in more workers and pay higher old-age as
sistance benefits than the House-passed bill.
The recommended changes in the House bill, as
announced by Senator Walter F. George of Georgla,
chairman of the finance committee, are not final,
They may be changed on the floor of the Senate,
And what the Senate votes on may be changed
Izain in conference with the House to arrive at a
sonrpromise.
To understand what all the arguing will be about,
these main differences between the Senate com
mittee recommendations and the House-passed bill
may be kept in mind.
HOUSE RAISES; SENATE SEES IT
AND RAISES AGAIN
There are now about 35,000,000 workers in the
Social Security System. The House bill would take
in 7,000,000 more. The Senate would raise this to
an estimated 8,280,000 plus another 1,500,000 who
might be brought in as voluntary participants. The
total number covered by the Senate would there
fore be close to 45,000,000 workers.
The Senate would also take in 200,000 employes
employed by one employer for 60 days and earning
SSO or more in any three months. The Senate would
also take in an undetermined number of share
croppers—estimated to be as high as 300,000.
The Snate would also take in 200,000 employes
of nonprofit organizations, There was a curious
committee fight on this. Under the House bill, both
employers and employes of nonprofit religious or
ganizations would be required to contribute to the
social security system. The Catholics objected to
this compulsory taxation. Other denominations
joined in the protest—all except the Baptists.
At first the Senate Finance Conmmittee voted to
exclude all employes of religious organizations on
a mandatory basis. This created such a protest,
however, that the Senate committee finally re
versed itself and voted to allow religious organiza
tions to obtain social security coverage for their
employes on @ voluntary basis.
The Senate committee aiso voted to take in about
170,000 federal civilian employes not now covered
under an existing retirement system, and about
90,000 agent-drivers—bakery and laundry truckers
who work on commission,
The Senate knocked out the complicated House
bl formulas intended to increase federal share of
public assistance grants to states nraking low as
sistance payments to the needy. The Senate also
1 >commends making no additional payments to the
i others or caretakers of dependent children now
cligible to receive public assistance. The Senate
committee voted to increase appropriations for vari
ous child service programs from $29,000,000 to
mrooo'm
While the House had recommended increasing
federal old age and survivors’ insurance benefits by
an average of 70 percent, the Senate committee
reconrmends increases of 90 percent. This is the way
the various proposals line up:

Senators Are Lefting Politics
Interfere With Statehood Issue
Though they’re largely unspoken, the main argu
ments in the Senate against statehood for Hawaii
and Alaska are political.
Some senators simply don’t care to have four
more senators swelling their numbers, They fear
the senatorial toga wouldn't be as distinguished a
garment,
This fear is especially acute among lawmakers
fromr New England and the South, who foresee a
smaller voice for their regions and a lustier one for
the booming West. It's assumed, of course, that
Hawalii and Alaska would stand with their western
brethren on the big issues of resources development
and farm programs.
Not a few senators are cool to Hawaiian state
hood because it would confer voting privileges on
that territory’s predominantly non-Caucasian popu
lation,
And because both territories are chiefly rural,
certain big city lawmakers are against bringing
them in as states. Their feeling is' that Congress
already has too strong 2 rural coloring.
Furthermore, some Republicans think statehood
would work to their disadvantage because up to
now Alaska and Hawaii have tended to lean to
ward the Democrats. GOP leaders bent on recap
turing control of the Senate can hardly take a
happy view of any move that would increase their
handicap.
These are the points turning over in senatorial
minds as the upper chamber fights a delaying ac
tion against statehood bills long since approved by
the House.
But if there is sincere promise in the constitu
tional assurance that any U. S. territory may be
come a state, then all these political arguments are
irrelevant, In one form or another they could have
been made against the entry of many of our pres
ent 48 states.
The question the Senate must honestly decide is
whether Hawaii and Alaska have the genuine sub
stance of statehood, a mature grasp of their. own
affairs, a sense of responsibility that fits them for
fuller representation in the U. S. government.
Any facts which bear upon this fundamental test
are relevant to the Senate’s decision. For example,
can Alaska, whose land now is 99 percent federally
owned, get along without too heavy reliance on
Washington? Can Hawaii mranage larger responsi
bilities without succumbing to troublesome Com
munist influences?
If legitimate queries like these can be answered
favorably for the territories, as the House seems to
believe, then the Senate has no right to block
statehood. Under such circumstances its action
would be properly branded as narrow, selfish poli
tics destructive of the country’s highest constitu
tional ideals.
Punishing Themselves
According to Fortune Magazine's latest, it's the
stocky, muscular type of man who is most suscept
ible to heart ailments. Lean fellows and “rotund”
men are said to be in less danger.
While the rotund chap parks his feet on the
porch railing and the lean “string bean” goes
quietly and calmly about his business, the stocky,
energetic man is driving ahead like a fullback,
He lugs his office bome in his brief case, turns
every meal but breakfast into a business conference,
punishes himself further by skipping vacations and
free weekends. To make up for all this, he may
dash to his club or a gym once a week to cram his
“exercise” into the shortest possible time.
It’s hard to tell whether he’s competing against
his colleagues, his business rivals, or himself,
Whichever it is, too often he loses — with tragic
suddenness,
Maybe if the won-and-lost records of these per
formances were published more widely some of
these hardy men would play the game more sen
sibly,
The establishment of the state of Israel in Pales
tine without a major war is one of the epic events
of history. — United Nations Secretary-General

People Should Be Philosophical
About Senility In Their Elders
BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
All of us who live long enough
will eventually face old age. Cer
tainly few who are elderly con
sider it the happiest time of their
lives, but neither does it need to
be a sad or tragic period of life.
Older people are often freed fronr
some of the problems which trou
bled them when they were
younger. TR : s
When they adjust themselves to
certain changed conditions, and if
they have the understanding and
sympathy of the younger members
of their family and friends, life
can become contented and com
fortable,
Aging of the body and mind
does not occur suddenly nor does
it progress at the same rate of
speed for everybody. Some who
are in their 80’s and 90’s are quite
spry physically and remain men
tally keen. Others, however, who
may be 20 years younger can
show signs of physical frailty and
slowing down of the mental pro-
Cesses. o
One of the complaints of many
older people is a poor memory.
Often an elderly person remem
bers well things which happened
20 or even 50 years earlier but
gets mixed up on recent happeri
ings. This is often shown by re
peating the same story over and
over again. It is annoying to the
listener but should be taken cheer=-
fully because it is not intentional.
Only when loss of memory be
comes extremely severe and is as
sociated with other changes in
mental functioning, is it proper to
speak of true senility. Even in this
condition, however, the memory
for events which happened years
before may be good, while that
for events which occurred recent-
