NOW GO on WITH THE STORY

BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. 49, A
broad program Of health insurance
to round out the Administration s
sweeping social security system is
being studied with a view to con-
gressional action next session.
The Social Security Act, designed
to safeguard $4,000 900 working
Americans against old-age destitu-
ton and unemployment. failed to
make provision for economic pro-
lection against sickness.
One reason was the controversial
character of proposed plans by
which the i'll worker could get
medical treatment on low cost
Federally-aided basis in return for
a yearly contribution from his
wages. Medical societies in many
instances have charged it would
regiment" the profession.
A more detailed study of the
problem is now being made by Adj
ministration figures.
Influence Is Widespread
The security act was generally
view by congressional leaders today
as the outstanding accomplishment
of the present Congress and more
likely to affect the future well being
of TT nation than any legislation
in lcrican history. 1t reaches
down to make its influence felt in
every home It aids 100000 tax
payers. It will give some mOdicum
of added comfort to 100000 de-
pendent aged persons. to dependent
children. the blind and the crippled.
Beginning January, its full force
will be felt. Next year every en-
plOver of eight or more persons
must set aside to pay into the Fed
eral treasury l per cent of his total
pay roll. If the eight persons earn
a total of $4,000 the treasury is
due 5000 For 1887. the employer
must pay $500. For 1888 and there
after 5000.
That tax is for unemployment in
surance purposes. Credits up to 90
per cent of it will be allowed by the
Federal government for employer
contributions to a state unemploy-
ment insurance system meeting
Federal requirements.
State Systems Likely
1t is estimated that industry in
the first year will pay in $3.50, O0O.O 0O
and by 1850 annually S9O6. 100000
will be flowing into the unemploy-
ment protection reserve. The Fed
eral Social Security Board will have
leeway in accepting state systems
and in using reserves for unemploy-
ment aid purposes in cases where
states have not adopted systems.
The incentive will be, however,
for states to set up their own sys-
TENS within the next year Their

NOU know, it's only by COM
u parsons that we are able to get
true and complete pictures And
it's only by watching other people
that we can get a true slant on what
we're doing.
I've often heard golfers on the
links when an airplane passed over
head remark, That's certainly
crazy way to spend an afternoon"
And I've wondered if these golfers
ever thought about what the pilots
say when flying over a golf course
and are looking down at the little
white dots busting over the greens.
They will express an opinion like
this, Now. isn't that a fine way
10 idle away time!"
And another idea about COM
parsons:
1 happened to be watching some
men who were drilling an oil well,
and who were just about to load the
drill hole with dynamite. The fell
low who was breaking open the
dynamite boxes and pushing the
greasy, white sticks down the drill
hole, paused to look up as a plane
flew over Then he looked over at
me and said, while wagging his head
solemnly, Boy, none of that stuff
for mel"
Well, I guess it's all in the view
point.
I heard a good one the other day
while standing in an airport con-
troll tower, listening to the dis
patcher talking to the pilot of an
incoming transport Each landing
made by an airliner is logged, you
know that is, the ships number
and the time of the landing are re-
corded

stOrekeepers. factory owners and Ia
Dor Unions will apply the pressure
to obtain a return on the forced
investment to keep men at work.
1t is estimated 25,8O5,OOO will be
covered by the old-age annuity pro-
visions of the act, but 100000 less
by the unemployment insurance
section. Approximately 100000
persons, according to the 1880 census,
worked in establishments employ
ing fewer than eight. Farm labor
ers, domestics, teachers and institu
tional workers are excluded from
tax aid phases of the act.
The most far-reaching plan in the
act is that for old age security. 1t
provides for Federal grants to states
in meeting state costs for old peo-
pie in need up to SIS a month or
a matching basis. State law stand
ards are required to get the Federal
money.
They must provide for assistance
to needy aged 70 years or older. In
1910 the requirement is for aid to
all over IS 1t is expected the Fed
eral cost will be S5OOO0,00O annually.
At present 100000 men and women
over 65 are dependent on the pub
lie for support.
Hand in hand with this old age
plan in the Federal old age benefit
system for working persons. More
than 25,0O0,00O individuals will start
toward their old age
security under this program from
wages earned in 1887.
1t is strictly a Federal Setup. The
worker will pay l per cent of his
annual wages for 1887 and his en-
ployer must make a similar con-
tribution

MINTON POINTS
WITH PRIDE TO
SENATE RECORD
Backed President in All New
Deal Legislation, He
Declares.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Taking
pride in the fact that he had kept
his campaign pledge to follow the
Roosevelt leadership, Senator Sher-
man Minton today cited the record
to show that many Republicans also
remained New Dealers so far as
their votes in the Senate were con-
cerned.
He particularly called attention to
the votes of the G. o. P. Floor Lead
Ex-senator McNary-and that per-
ennial presidential possibility-Sen-
ator Borah.
Both voted with Senator Minton
and the other Democrats for the
$4,000, 100000 works relief, Wheeler
Rayburn utility bill, Wagner labor
board, social security, AAA amend
ments and taxing the rich.
There is one impression that
stands dominant in my mind upon
the adjournment of the first session
of Congress for me as member OF
the Senate" Senator Minton said.
Praises ROosevelt's Leadership
That impression is of the superb
vision and leadership of President
Roosevelt.
Il believe the most severe critics
of the President will admit that he
gained substantially everything he
outlined at the beginning of the
session as the next steps of the
New Deal program.
This was accomplished in the
face of severe adverse criticism on
the part of carping opposition and
a large section of the public press.
It was done in spite Of desperate
efforts to ALLEVIATE the members of
Congress against the President with
taunts of being rubber stamps
Pointing out that President
Roosevelt assumed the role of
leader" rather than dictator" by
giving broad general directions and
letting Congress carry out the de-
tailed legislative plans, Senator
Minton expressed his approval OF
| the resulting program.
Even Republicans Support New Deal
with more than 70 per cent of
our population bordering on the
poverty line and below, it is obvious
ly necessary that legislation must
be enacted for the Masses he de-
clared.
president Roosevelt mapped his
program with that in mind-a pro-
gram which now is law and should
win the undying gratitude of those
for whom it was directly intended
as an aid and for the entire coun-
try because of its making this ma
ton an even better place in which
to live

last session party lines were sew

Under this annuity plan no bene-
fits will be paid until 1912. The
minimum monthly payment under

amount of contribution-and the
maximum $85. A person averaging
5000 month at the end of 10 years

at the end of 20 years $51.25, at the
end Of 80 years S61.25.

AS far as Millholland knows, there
are no articles, fictional or other
wise, on the adventures of these
craft, but he needs no other data
than his own recollectionS. He spent
10 months in the war zone as chief
engineer on a submarine chaser
which sailed from New London
Conn.
TIL vessel was 10 feet long, pro-
PEELED by gasoline engines and
manned by a crew of Is and one
commissioned officer. The arma-
ment consisted of two machine
guns, a depth mine protector and a
three-inch anti-aircraft gun that
fired armor piercing shells. Work.
in units of three, the boats put
down mines, meanwhile listening
for subs" with hydrophones.
Millholland saw service in the
vicinity of Bermuda, the Azores,
Gibralter and Malta. For nine
months his boat operated in the
Adriatic, pursuing Austrian sub
marines, and it was one of the II
American submarine chasers which
took part in the battle of Durazzo,
off the coast of Albania, Oct. 2, 1918.

Tunnel Film
Seems Trite
to Reviewer
Circle Film May Prove
Stimulating to Those
Who Like to Build.

Kids who like to build things
with tinker toys and grown-ups who
like Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. G.
Wells, may receive faint stimulus
to the pulse of their imagination
from the picture, Transatlantic
Tunnel" at the Circle.
In it George Arliss is Britain's
Premier, Walter Huston is Presi-
dent of the United States, and a
tunnel is constructed between Lon
don and New York.
The picture is full of futuristic
mechanismS, radium drills, televi-
sion apparatus, and is we'll acted by
the cast headed by the virile Rich
ard Dix. Mr.. Dix's voice is just a bit
mushy for the talkies. but he is still
strong and silent at times.
Plays Engineer
He portrays McAllen, engineer,
who sells his idea for a trans
oceanic tunnel to group of CAPT.
talists, headed by a crippled old
bird &C. Aubrey Smith, whose
daughter, Varlia, is in love with the
dashing young designer.
But Mr.. McAllen has a devoted
wife. and son, and isn't interested
in other women. But Varlia persists,
and finally causes trouble.
With the tunnel started, McAllen
suddenly is called to New York and
told that to boost the slipping tun-
mel stock, he must remain in Amer
lea, giving interviews, being photo
graphed, getting in the publics eye,
and hair, so to speak
He does so reluctantly and his
wife takes the sudden departure as
evidence she has lost his love.
She Goes to Work
She goes to work as nurse in
the tunnel hospital, contracts blind
ness, and leaves her husband, TAX
ing their son with her.
So engrossed has Mr.. McAllen
been in his work that he doesn't
miss her until he returns to Lon
don months later. A little depressed,
he goes ahead on the tunnel, but is
stopped when the workers drill into
a submarine volcano which explodes
killing hundreds, among them Nc
Aliens son. The shock brings the
man and wife together again.
One or two of the sets are dis
tinctive. Mr.. Banks is the best of
the actors, and Helen Vinson and
Madge Evans are family convincing
as the would-be and actual sweet
hearts of Mr.. Dix. So short are the
appearances of Mr.. Arliss and Mr..
Huston that they are safe from
criticism.

presence of the overdrawn sex scene
between Ellie May Lester and Low
Bensey in the first act. Although we
suppose that the author meant this
scene as slap in the face to an
audience which he wanted to make
alert to the rest of the play, We
think it could have been done with
less disastrous results to the sensi-
bilitieS of the public.
Likewise, the scenes between Sis
ter Bessie and Dude Lester could
have been less wildly done. After
all, drama is fundamentally the
portrayal of action and not the &C
ton itself.
The script of the play has been
noticeably tanned" for the Indian
apolis audiences. Whether or not it
will come back" during the latter
days of the engagement, remains 10

Country Needs 1t
That Jack Kirkland's play is a
powerful piece Of social missionary
enterprise is not to be denied. Such
play will step in where social
workers and preachers fear to tread

But it does not stay long off the
beaten path. For the taste, or dis
taste, with which one comes from
the play is a much more serious
feeling, a feeling of sympathy and
pity for folk such as the Testers.
Besides Mr.. Timblin, the rest of
the cast was almost as able.
Florence Gerald as Ada was ex-
cellent. She played up to the high
points of Timblin's work with
energetic artistry. Cynthia Arden
as Ellie May and Robert Rose as the
soft-brained Dude, were the best Of
the youngsters. Tilden Davis and
