A 10-point plan through which the
administration hopes to take men and
women out of soup lines and poor
houses and keep them out, Is grad
ually taking shape under the guidance
Of the Committee Of Economic Sc
curity.
To aid this committee. composed Of
four cabinet officers and Relief Admin
istrator Hopkins, President Roosevelt
yesterday named an Advisory Council
consisting Of l9 men and women who
have long studied and evinced interest
in this field of endeavor. The council
will be headed by Frank P. Graham.
president of the University of North
Carolina.
Unemployment insurance and old
age pensions top the program OF social
security with which they are dealing.
When they finish, they hope to present
a rounded program that will cover the
10 phases into which their probings
have led them. Undoubtedly. however.
while a rounded program will be rec
commended to President Roosevelt be-
fore December /, the legislation in
which it will be embodied and pre-
sented to Congress will be split into
several bills.
Experts Compile 10 Points.
In all probability, those calling for
unemployment insurance and old age
pensions-now already effective in one
form or another in 20 States-will go
to the newly elected Congress. What
will be necessary with regard to some
of the other phases cannot be deter
mined until the effect of these two has
been measured.
The 10 points, compiled by experts
in the different fields, for the COM
mittee and the Advisory Council to
assemble into q workable plan are:
Unemployment insurance.
Provisions for old age security.
Provisions for meeting the economic
risks of illness.
Public works as a means of eco
nomic security.
Employment opportunities.
Special measures for economic Sc
curity of children.
Survivors insurance.
Dependency and relief.
Economic security for farmers and
agricultural workers.
Handling and investment of reserve
funds.
Other studies have been directed
| into the fiscal aspects of security
program. and administrative posi-
bilities and constitutional questions
Much background factual data is
ready to bolster the arguments that
will be presented in the recommended
tions of the plan finally assembled.
Pay Roll Tax Definite.
plastic form, waiting for the final
shaping One of the few things that
/ is definite about it so far is that
there will be pay roll tax. the
/ amount of which is yet to be deter
mined All of the plans for unemploy-
ment insurance so far studied have
called for such a tax.
In assembling the material and in
future studies. much thought will be
given to the plan of unemployment
insurance in effect in England. An
outline Of the English plan is before
the committee and Relief Admin
istrator Hopkins gave considerable
study to that plan during the past
| Summer.
There is growing belief that the
Presidents advisers are not following
the Wisconsin plan-the only State
plan in effect-with any definite in
dication of adoption.
