Social Security

Wahingtonans will have opportunity to register their
views before subcommittee of the Senate District Commit
tee week the farreachng provisions Of the Eenbogen
social security bill for the District.
Senator Copeland and Senator Capper in charge Of the
which already passed the House, have consented
to hold hearings order that the BILL which sets up
poyment Insurance. may brought into line with the revised
national social security bill which is still pending.
It will behoove Washngtonans to study the measure and
be prepared to give to the subcommittee the benefit Of
their advice and suggestions.
There apparently little quarrel with the object Of the
bill
There is however considerable dispute among informed
as whether the present provisions Of the measure
are properly designed to carry out that object
In setting up the unemployment insurance fund the BILL
as it passed the House, provides for direct tax of three
per cent on the pay rolls employers who have than
four workers.
further provides that the District Government shall
tribute to the fund per cent basis.
The fact that the District Government working
an unbalanced budget does to have been
consideration in framing the bill, ALTHOUGH DISTRICT
OFFICIALS ARE FACED WITH THE NECESSITY OF
ADOPTING A NEW TAX PLAN TO FINANCE THIS AND
OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
There is serious doubt the minds of many thoughtful
Washngonians to whether under the present economic
situation the additional be raised without VIRTUAL
DESTRUCTION of many important business elements
If that were true of course the bill instead of pro-
SOCIAL INSECURITY
It may be that there needless alarm this phase Of
the situation.
The Senate hearings however, will give all sides op
portunty to present their in the end is probable
that if amendments necessary they will be made.

hundred pounds of dynamite to
be detonated in the center of a
truck load of gravel. This scat
tering, or expanding, has been
going on for several hundred
million years.
In order to realize the splen.
dor of this spectacle, let us re-
gard for a moment some OF its
elements:
Suppose we say that our en-
tire Solar System, out to the
orbit of the faraway Pluto, is
represented by the smallest Wis
ible speck of dust. The nearest
fixed star would be seven inches
away: the nearest galaxy Is
miles; the farthest galaxy our
most powerful telescope has re-
vealed, $3.50 miles.
We can see thousands Of gal
axieS. We believe there must be
millions. In each one OF them
there are from 10000 to 10000
million stars like our Sun!
EVIDENCE
That we obscure inhabitants
of insignificant Earth should
have the temerity to turn our
attention from not only our
Earth. but our Solar System,
and even our galaxy, and pre-
sumo to examine into a subject
of the tranScendent magnifi'
cence of this, would have been
considered, a century ago, as
sacrilegious. Today, the think
ing mind approaches such a
matter with a bold confidence.
The lines in the spectrum Of
each galaxy, when explained by
means of the Spectroscope, are
found not to be where they
should be, but instead are
shifted toward the red end OF
the spectrum.
This means that each galaxy
must be moving away from us,
because the only way the shift
toward the red can occur is to
have fewer light waves arriving
per second. which is what hap

something to prevent it.
But everyone knows why
