NEW PENSION PLAN
|. HEARING TONIGHT
Private Programs Would Be
Preserved Under Set.Up
for Joint Committee.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A new plan for preserving private
pension plans in industry after the
Federal retirement system goes into ef-
feet will be presented to the joint
House and Senate subcommittee when
it meets at 7:3o o'clock tonight In an
effort to solve the problem.
Instead of authorizing the Social
Security Board to exempt from pay
roll taxes the employers and employees
of concerns that hav ve private systems,
it Is understood the new proposal
would call for payment Of the taxes by
all industries, and then authorize the
board to make grants in aid to COM
panies operating private plans to the
extent which such plans would relieve
the Government.
The original Clark amendment,
which failed in conference last year
after the Senate had placed it in the
social security bill, was based on ex-
empting concerns that operate private
plans from payment of the taxes called
for in the social security act. 1t is
believed much of the opposition of
administration leaders to the original
Clark amendment was based on fear
that an exemption from the tax would
weaken the legality of the social Sc
curity law.
It is understood the new plan re-
tains the requirement that private
l'lans, to be approved, must be equal
to or more beneficial than the Gov.
errment system.
The taxes called for by this part
Of the social security law do not 20
into effect until next January. These
taxes start at l per cent each from
employers and employees, and increase
gradually to a maximum Of per cent
from each in l949 and thereafter.
Although they were unable to agree
last August on the Clark amendment,
House and Senate conferees on the
security law appointed the present
joint subcommittee to make further
efforts TO work out the problem
Whether the subcommittee will ac-
cept the new plan which actuaries
are expected to present to them will
not be known until the meeting to.
