Senate Expected to Act
Today on Nomination
of Nine Employees.

The dispute over jobs at the Social
Security Board neared settlement to-
day., with the Senate prepared to
act on the nominations Of nine en-
ployes, reported out late yesterday by
the Appropriations Committee. In
cluded were those of Frank Bane,
executive director: John j. Corson.
assistant executive director, and
Leroy Hodges, head OF the Bureau
OF Old-Age Benefits.
This group was the last OF block
OF So nominations tied up under a
new law which required Senate con-
firmation for all employees getting
$4,000 or more annually. The others
were acted on last week.
Confirmation will pave the way for
those involved to draw pay for July
which previously has been withheld
Dissatisfaction with employment
policies at the board led to the re-
striction on appointment which was
effected by Senate amendment to
the independent Offices bill.
At the same time, it was announced
at the board that efforts are being
made to reach about 10000 persons
who have not applied for lump sum
payments due under the old-age ben
eft provisions Of the act.
This money represents tax paid by
persons who have reached the age OF
65 or have died since January l. and
the payments will range from IS to
approximately 5000
The board takes it for granted that
in some instances the amount due is
so small that claimants are not in
clined to seek it. In others, obviously,
the application has just been ne
elected. The prospective bene1ciaries
