HOUSE SEEN thorn
IN SECURITY PLANS
Vote on Senate Amendment
to Exempt Private Sys.
TENS Is Feared.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration men expressed con-
Germ today lest the Roosevelt social
security program be wrecked by a
dispute over exemption of private pen
sion plans
ConfereeS have been working on the
program, attempting to straighten out
differences in the bill as passed by
House and Senate. For two weeks they
have been ned up in a controversy
over the Senate amendment to ex-
empt companies and workers covered
by private pension plans from the
taxes TO be levied for the Nation wide
old age pension system. They met
again today in an effort to work out
settlement.
Danger Seen in House.
Informed Senators have forecast
that the conferees will fail to agree
and the dispute will have to be car
ried back to the two houses for settle
ment. From the administration
standpoint, however, this course pre-
SentS some dangers.
The House has not yet voted on the
private pension amendment It prob
ably would be called on to vote first.
and if the amendment should be ap-
proved at that end Of the Capitol, it
would be in the bill TO Stay.
Critics of the amendment contend
it would endanger the entire program
and might bring a presidential veto
They argue the amendment would
permit private companies to keep their
younger employees in their private sys-
TEN and leave the older workers for
the Government to carry.
Private Plans Liberal.
On the other hand, those sup
porting the amendment argue it would
permit some existing private pension
plans. which are more liberal than
the proposed Government system. TO
continue in operation. They suggest
that without the amendment these
private systems, some of which have
accumulated millions of dollars, would
be junked. Then, if the Federal plan
were declared invalid, the workers
would be left unprotected, these legis-
lators argue.
Some believe President Roosevelt
may be called on TO intervene to settle
the dispute.
Several other points also are still
In the process of negotiation between
the conferees for the two houses, but
leaders feel none of them presents
difficulties comparable TO the private
pension issue.

GOLD SUITS BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL
House Committee Acts as
Senators Discuss
Initiation.
BY the Associated Press.


The House Banking Committee to-
day approved an administration bill TO
bar suits against the Government to
collect alleged damages arising out of
devaluation of the dollar
Imitation possibilities of this legis-
lation. high on the administration
must" list, simultaneously we're being
discussed by the Senate Banking
Committee.
Treasury experts denied that such
a possibility. mentioned by commit
tee members. existed
McAdoo Raises Question.
Senator McAdoo, Democrat. of Cali
fornia. a former Treasury Secretary
raised the question when John G.
Harlan, assistant general counsel of
the Treasury. said there were about
$4,000 100000 Of outstanding gold
clause obligations affected by a reso-
luton provision which would allow
holders of such obligations to ex-
change them for cash.
Harlan contended that the resolu-
ton did not authorize the issuance
OF any new currency. He said the
Treasury would obtain the money by
the issuance Of new bonds, as it has
obtained refunding money in the past.
Senator Maloney. Democrat, of
Connecticut, suggested. however, that
cancellation OF the right to sue for
damages might create a buyers
strike" in which it would be i'm
possible to float new bonds
The Treasury expert contended also
that in all probability only a small
part of the outstanding $4,000 000.-
900 would be presented for cash.
Persisting in his questioning. Nc
Adoo asked. however, what would
happen if all $4,000 100000 we're
presented and the Government could
not obtain the money through the
bond market.
Both assumptions are unreal" J.
G. Laylin, another Treasury counsel,
interjected.
Its conceivable" McAdoo insisted
that so many would be turned in that
the bond market corlCn't absorb the
new issues.
Then just PASS another act re-
pudiating this promise" Senator Ad-
ans. Democrat, of Colorado, suggested
sarcastically.
Selling Above Par.
Laylin replied it was 'n4conce.vable
all the bonds would Ue turned In be-
cause they are new selling above par
and carry higher interest than new
bond issues.
The controversy ended there. but
Senator Steiwer, Republican, OF Ore
gon said he was concerned over the
effect the resolution might have on
Government credit abd asked that
Morgenthau be called to testify Mon
day.
The effect on credit is g thing
that Congress must oecide," McAdoC
