SOCIAL SECURITY
PLANS CLARIFIED
District May Need Special Legis.
lation to Qualify Under
Program.

Judging from the anticipated legis-
lative form of President Roosevelt's s
social security program, special legis-
lation probably will have to pe passed
for the District If the aged, children
and other handicapped and unem-
ployed persons are to benefit.
No direct Federal money, according
to the Presidents present plan, will be
paid out to individuals. Moreover, Fed
eral funds will be granted only to States
which have now adequate laws for
dealing with pensions for these de-
pendent classes. Those States which
do not have proper organization or
sufficient laws on the subject of social
security will not receive any Federal
financial assistance.
This was revealed after q conference
at the White House today attended by
Secretary Of Labor Perkins, Speaker of
the House Byrns, Senator Wagner of
New York and Representative Lewis
of Maryland. The latter two will
handle the administration social Sc
curity legislation.
This conference developed that the
program of the administration will
cover aid to dependent children,
handicapped citizens of all ages and
unemployed. Aid for maternity cases
also is provided under a special set-up.
Although details regarding the pro-
visions for old age insurance were not
made known, it was explained by Sec
retary Perkins that the AGED will be
helped in two ways, by tensions and
by some form Of insurance.
President Roosevelt said today he
probably would submit the social Sc
crIrity program to Congress in a spe-
cial message next week. and Senator
Wagner added he would introduce the
legislation.
Administration leaders intend to
group the various proposals into one
bill.

Most of the incoming ex-Service
men jumped at the chance to go.
They have agreed to stay at these
camps for three months, are given
$50 a month, and board and lodging,
which is something of a bonus in
itself.
The reason the Government has
been so quiet about it is that it
does not ,Udnt all the Ueterans in
the country tumbling dotDn on
Washington. There is not much
money left to continue Mr.. Hopkins

the bonus army as it drriUeS.

Today they are out in the Atlantic
Ocean, building a causeWay, sprucing
up the forests around king tree, or
working in the navy yard at Charles

back until the bonus issue is voted
on and disposed of.
And yet some people say these New
Dealers are dumb.
Other Units Opposed.
All the regular veterans outfits
here are against the proposed march,
including the American Legion and
the v. F. w. They realize march
would just about ruin the bonus cause
1t would give the opposition just the
excuse needed to stamp out the move
ment.
The left wingers are led by one
Harold Hickerson, who calls his outfit
the rank and file committee. Their
opponents say they are radicals and
the title of the committee is certainly
auburn if nothing else. Government
Investigators say they have learned
that the response to the marching calls
has been disappointing. Possibly Mr..
Hickerson misaddressed his invitations.
He should have sent them down South.

ROOSEVE[TPOW
POLICY UNSHAKEN
Report Shows Insurance
Firms and Banks Hold Few
Utility Securities.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt is going ahead
with his announced policy to bring
about lower power rates throughout
the country. feeling confident holders
of life insurance policies and savings
bank deposits invested in public util-
tiles will have no cause for concern.
The Presidents confidence has been
strengthened by a report made at his
request by the Federal Powe. Commis-
sion after study of public utility
securities held by life insurance COM
panies and savings banks.
The commissions report was made
public. 1t shows the amount OF money
so invested Is trivial compared to
other investments. Mr.. Roosevelt re-
called that his announced determina-
ton to bring about cheaper power was
followed BY statements from utility
sources to the effect that many widows
and orphans and others would be
ruined financially as a result.
Declines to Comment.
The President gave out the report
without comment, but he took occa-
sion to emphasize the importance of
certain sections.
He pointed out the report showed
the utility investments of standard
lie insurance companies and savings
banks are almost exclusively in the
bonds OF operating companies and that
they hold few preferred stocks and
practically no common stocks. They
also have almost no holding company
securities Of any kind. In this con-
nection the report explained that this
Is IN accordance with State laws which
impose strict limitations upon the in
vestments OF such institutions, pre-
scribing as legal only those regarded
as safe and conservative.
The report then went on to give
some idea Of the extent of these in
vestments by saying they examined
security portfolios of six large life
insurance companies in New York
State, having total admitted assets of
$8,5l8,0 900 900. which showed that in
1888 they had invested in public utility
bonds s72o. .OOO,O 900, or only 81 per cent
Of their total assets. They have only
$81, 900, 900 invested in public utility
preferred stocks, or less than Der
cent Of their total assets.
Few Utility Stocks.
The report furnished figures from
Is large insurance companies in other
States with total admitted assets of
$7,87l ,000, 900, which have s753, ,00O,-
600, or 9.5 per cent in public utility
bonds and only 4,000, 900, or 9 per
cent. in public utility preferred stocks.
To give some idea of just what this
means the report pointed out that
these 81 companies combined repre-
sent 10 per cent of the admitted as
sets Of all the life insurance COM
panies In the United States.

r Tow to handle a bonus march
- Is one Of the most important
/ hidden questions Of Govern
ment. 1t has been since Mr..
