Social Security Act Is Cause
 of Much Speculation; Many
 Questions Arise, No Ans,vers
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Cred- it Secretary Morgenthau with throwing a spotlight, although for just a moment on one of the un- deriving big problems incident to operation of the Social Security Act
 Within IT years. he said, ''vari- ous laws, such as social security sinking fund, and so forth, will absorb about 0,000000,0o0 worth of public debt
 Don't be misled into thinking the social security money viii be used to retire the government debt. That isn't the law His statement sim ply means that in about IT years the social security act, together with sinking fund and So forth" will pile money into the treasury land the treasury will invest it, just like an insurance company.
 But in connection with the pros pect of such sum massing in the hands of government (and some es- innate it may nearly double that) many questions arise that get in the hair of practical politicians as well as in the hair of economists.
 Questions
 l What if there came along a first line war, or a number one national emergency, or lot of pesky little emergencies How well would the government withstand the tempta- ton to dip into the pot, take it all in the name of national emergency of national exiegency?
 |of national exigiency?
 Suppose a depression came along and the middle-aged and near-pen- sion-aged folk decided they needed the money right away instead of waiting? And the inflationists in- sisted that the pension savings un- der social security ought to be pumped into business to perk up business? And columns of elderly and near elderly marched on Wash- ington demanding prepayment of the old age bonus?"
 But if no big fund is built up in which employees have definite con- crete stake which they can call theirs by right, then what assur- ance is there that some Congress might not decide to abolish social security or reduce it greatly? AL ready there is afoot program backed by many business men urg- ing that the social security pay ments be met on a pay-as-you-go basis by raising enough taxes each year to pay the needs rather than
