SECURITY BILL
NEARLY READY
international News Service

After long delay, the revamped
Administration economic security
bill was put in final form by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today.
Only minor changes were ex-
pected to be made before the
bill is reported to the House late
this week.
The program Of old-age pen
sions and unemployment insur-
ance, embraced in the bill, was
said by members to be the most
ambitious program of its kind
ever undertaken. While other
nations have similar laws, most
of them are said to have started
on q much smaller scale.
The House committee adhered
to the Presidents decision to
limit immediate old-age pensions
to a grant of SIS a month for
each pensioner to a State. The
States must match the sum and
can raise it.
A compulsory contributory old
age pension scheme, designed to
make the system virtually self
supporting in 40 years, also had
been approved.

REASON GUIDES
HIGH COURT IN
DEBT CASES
International News Service

AnNefnAIOnhI NeWb service
The Supreme Court has evolved
q new rule of reason" to govern
constitutionality Of national and
state moratorium and other debt
ors' relief laws.
After handing down two add.
tional decisions on this class of
laws springing from the depres-
sion, the court today appeared to
have charted fairly definite
course to guide Congress and State
legislatures.
The rule, in effect is that laws
can be enacted without violating
the Federal constitution which
give reasonable" relief to debtors,
but when they become oppressive,
the court will intervene.
Frazier-Lemke Law Up
Belief that the court would up.
hold virtually all moratorium
legislation enacted after the first
decision in the Minnesota mort
gage moratorium case, had been
diSSipated.
The court had before it again
today the question of constitutions
atty of the Frazier-Lemke bank
ruptcy law under which farmers
were given a five-year moratorium
and the RICH to buy back their
nt
Critical questions were directed
at attorneys arguing the case by
members of the court, although
they were careful to refrain from
indicating a preconceived opinino.
Rule of Reason"
Reasonableness of the five-year
moratorium, and the fact the law
gives the debtor a chance to re-
gain his property without becom-
ing the highest bidder, apparently
puzzled the court.
Decision on the Frazier-Lemke
law, which is assailed by the
Louisville Joint Stock Land Bank,
is expected to furnish new light
on the courts rule of reason"
In one decision yesterday, the
court held unconstitutional an
Arkansas law giving a virtual
moratorium on street improve.
ment bonds.
The law cut penalty interest
from 20 to 3 per cent, extended
the time for payment and other
wise changed the law so that
bondholders could not obtain re-
lief through tax foreclosure for
six and a half years. The court
held that this was an "unreason-
able" law.
Costly to RFC
On the other hand, the court
held constitutional the emergency
railroad bankruptcy act, and held
Federal judges could enjoin banks
and the RFC from selling col
ltaeral which had been specifi-
cally pledged for loans.
For the banks and the RFC to
sell the collateral, the court held,
would defeat the plan of Con-
gress for reorganization of rail-
roads through scaling down of
Indebtedness.
The decision may cost the RFC
which has made heavy loans to
railroads, millions of dollars. Un-
der it, the RFC must join with
other creditors of railroads and
scale down its loans when rail-
roads are reorganized,
