SOCIAL SECURITY
PARLEY DELAYED
Senate Conferees Try Anew
for Compromise on Clark
Amendment.
BY ], A. O'LEARY.

Renewed efforts by Senate con-
ferees TO work out a compromise on
the Clark private pension amendment
caused o last-minute poStponement Of
the conference scheduled for this aft
ernoon on the administration's social
security bill.
While 1t Is not known whether the
House group would accept the amend
ment in modified form, it was learned
that members OF the Senate are Still
trying, in consultation with experts.
to have some provision kept in the
bill to preserve existing private retire.
ment systems.
Cancellation of the conference was
somewhat OF surprise, since 1t had
been indicated earlier that administra-
ton forces, who are opposed to ex-
empting private retirement systems
from the Federal old-age pension plan,
had expected the Clark amendment
would be dropped from the bill today.
Agreement Hoped Fer.
Their hope was that Senate advo-
Gates of the Clark amendment would
agree to It's elimination with the under
standing that House and Senate COM
mittees would try to work out In the
separate bill later some method Of ex-
empting private plans.
The canceling of the call for today's
meeting indicated that Senate con-
ferees have not abandoned hope Of
compromise.
Senator Clark, Democrat. Of Mis-
souri,. who has led the fight to allow
industries to remain out of the Fed
eral, contributory old-age insurance
system If they operate their own re-
tirement plans equal to or better
than the Government system. said
this morning his present inclination
is to ask for another test vote on
the issue in the Senate. He added,
however, that he has not definitely
decided what course of action he
will take on the proposed settlement.
The Senate put the Clark amendment
in the bill by vote of 81 to IS.
House Bars Exemptions.
During the weeks Of conference the
House group has held out against
exemption of private plans, bolstered
by q House vote instructing them not
to yield. President Roosevelt also has
expressed his opposition to the amend
ment.
All other phases of the social Sc
curity program have been agreed upon
in House and Senate, so that q settle
ment Of the Clark amendment with
in the next few days would send the
far-reaching measure to the White
House to be signed.

The Guffey coal bill is not buried
as deep in the congressional bin as
you may have been led to believe. 1t
has only been covered over with ashes
until the tax bill is out of the way
in the House. Then q real admins
tration effort will be made to enact
it. You may depend on that. The
chances Of success are not good, but
stranger things have happened lately
What is worrying those inside that
situation is whether there will be a
coal strike if the bill fails. Opinion
Il divided about fifty-fifty. It seems
to get down to question Of whether
John L. Lewis has enough money
in his mine union Golfers to finance
q strike.
Perhaps that question is beside the
point. Harry Hopkins has plenty.
Soviets Building Ships.
The reason Britain was so quick
to consent to German rebuilding of
submarines is the report In choicest
diplomatic quarters that the Soviets
have built or are building plenty. One
good report says go.
=, Some of Senator Vandenberg's
friends have complained to him that
he was not bitter enough against the
New Deal. This may, in part, explain
his thunderous opposition leadership
against the tax programs.
Senator Borah calls the newspaper
Offices personally and dictates those
well-known Sunday night statements
which catch the Monday morning
headlines.
The best advocate in the House is
Representative Huddleston. but he
emerges only once every few years.
Prior to this holding company fight.
his last major appearance was in the
sales tax fight several years ago.

GREAT STEP SEEN
IN STREET SAFETY
A. A. A. Advisory Board
Chairman Praises Respon-
sibiIity Bill Passage.

As the District safety responsibility
bill moved toward the White House
today, its journey through Congress
completed. 1t is described as q
great stride forward in the campaign
for street safety, in statement issued
by George w. Offutt, chairman of the
advisory board Of the A. A. A. District
of Columbia Motor Club.
"Law-abiding motorists need have
no fear of this measure, since it was
specifically designed to restrict care
less and irresponsible drivers without
causing any hardship to the cautious
drivers who make up the great ma
jority Of highway users" Ofutt stated.
Clears Last Hurdle.
The bill, which has been considered
in House and Senate committees at
intervals for seven or eight years,
cleared the last legislative hurdle
when Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah. had the Senate approve the
conference report yesterday afternoon.
The House agreed to the report Mon
day.
The effective date Of the measure is
90 days after its approval by the
President.
Mr.. Offutt said the sponsors Of the
bill we're fortunate in having the non
resident clause restored in conference.
This clause authorizes the same
method Of serving process on out-of-
town drivers that is followed in most
of the States. This provision was i'm
portant, Offutt said, because 20 per
cent Of the cars using Washington
streets are from the States.
Provision of Bill.
The bill provides that any motorist
convicted of driving while drunk or
of leaving the scene of an accident
in which personal injury has oc-
CURED without making known his
identity, would be deprived of the
right to drive again until he demon
strated ability to respond for dam
age or personal injury that might re-
suit from a future accident. Driving
permits also would be suspended as
long as accident judgments remain
unpaid.
Financial responsibility could be
shown in one of three ways: BY in
surance, by surety bond or by cash
deposit.
