ACE PENSIONS

Proposes Ssh Pay
Before 1912

GN.SD. President Roosevelt
today called upon Chairman A. G..
Altmeyer of the Social Security
Board to perfect plans for a more
liberaAzed old-age pension system
which would contemplate payment
of benefits at an earlier date than
January l, 1912, as now estab-
lished by law.
The President proposed further
that the board attempt to make
available larger benefits to the
aged, to the widows and wives and
to young children of those who
died before reaching retirement
age.
URGES REVISION
The President directed the So
cial Security Board to have it's
own plan for liberalizing old-age
pensions in shape for submission
to Congress next January.
In his letter to Altmeyer, the
President pointed out that the
board should not lose sight of the
need constantly of extending and
perfecting the provisions of the
social security act in the light of
changing American social needs.
CITES BRITISH ACT
Commenting briefly on his move
at today's press conference, the
Chief Executive pointed out that
Great Britain, with social Sc
curity system in existence for a

MintOn Bill
Failure
Seen

G.N.s) President Roosevelt
gave further indication of his dis.
trust of newspapers at his press
conference today when queried
about the proposal Of Senator
Sherman Minton Cd, of Indiana,
to make it felony to knowingly
print an untruth.
Pressed for comment on Min.
tons attack on the press. Mr..
Roosevelt smilingly declared he
was afraid that was a mat
ter which would have to be re-
ferred to the Prison Commission
and he most certainly did not
want to build any more prisons.
The President added that re-
porters had asked for it by asking
such a question.
Meanwhile doubt that Congress-
will pass the Minton bill to punish
newspapers and magazine pub
fishers, was voiced by Democrats
and Republican leaders on Capt..
tol Hill.
The bill was referred to the In
terState Commerce Committee Of
which Senator Wheeler CD, Mon
tana, is chairman.
Criticising newspapers in .
speech, Minton charged that the
Administration cannot get q
headline in the newspapers" and
that the press carried misleading
stories"
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association adopted a reso-
luton at it's meeting in New York
this week demanding that free
speech on the radio be cuTbed,"
Minton told the Senate. He
claimed that the radio afforded
the "only medium for getting the
truth to the people"
His bill would provide that any
person, firm, corporation or asSo-
citation that publishes in the Dis
trict of Columbia or causes to be

Clears Desk
FOrTrip
BY GEORGE DURNO

1.N.SD A Cabinet meeting
and conferences with numerous
key officials featured President
Roosevelt's day as he cleared UP
his desk preparatory to departing
tonight for Charleston, S. C,
where tomorrow he embarks on a
brief ocean cruise.
Late this afternoon, following
the Cabinet meeting, Mr.. Roose'
welt was comforting with Myron
c. Taylor. recently retired chair
man of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Senator Key Pittman, chairman
OF the powerful Foreign Relations
Committee, had been invited in
for a luncheon conference.
RAIL LABOR HEARD
George Harrison, chairman OF
the Association Of Railway Labor
executives, was another White
House caller. Harrison's call on
the President followed close on the
decision of directors of the AS
ISOLATION of American Railroads to
move for a wage cut involving ap'
proximately a million men.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
and Acting Budget Director Bell
also had engagements.
The President said his cruise
plans were indefinite. He will
board the cruiser Philadelphia to
morrow morning and head out
into the Atlantic, with no decision
yet as to when he will return.
PAT CAN'T GO!
There was a possibility he would
return to Charleston, Mr.. Roose'
welt said, adding that he would
keep the press advised through
the Navy Yard there.
With regret, the Chief Executive
announced that Pat" McKenna
veteran white House doorkeeper
would be unable to accompany
him because of a sudden illness Of
McKenna's sister. The President
added that Pat was drawing a rain
check against the next cruise.

The step was taken to make
way for numerous authorized Fed
eral and national defense projects
for which no funds have been ap-
propriated, and to increase the
amount available to States and
cities willing to match a 45 per
cent Federal grant with a IS per
cent local contribution.
WOULD CUT LOANS
At the same time, it was pro-
posed to reduce the $3.50, 900, 900
PWA loan fund, originally re-
quested in President Roosevelt's
recovery message, to $500, 00O, 900,
with the expectation that nearly
all Of it will be used for interest
free Federal loans for the entire
cost of projects in communities
prohibited by constitutional or
statutory limitation from incur
ring or increasing their debt.
Administration spokesman said
the change, while leaving the ulti-
mate burden on the Treasury at
the $1,000, 100000 figure demanded
by the President, would not only
permit more pump printing Fed
eral construction, but make posi-
BILE an increase in the number Ct
Federal grant-local contribution
projects that could be started.
APPROVAL EXPECTED
The proposal was laid before
the House Appropriations Corn
mittee, now engaged in drafting
the omnibus recovery bill, and is
slated to be approved. A ranking
committee member charged with
handling the bill, Representative
Woodrum CD of Virginia, said:
1T now appears likely that the
billion-dollar PWA fund will be
approved by the committee in
the form of a $700,000,00 ap-
preparation for outright grants,
and a 100000, 900 authorization
for loans.
THE committee will also
write language into the bill en-
powering the President to allo-
cate portions of the grant fund
to Federal projects already ap-
proved by Congress. These in
clude a number of Federal build
ings and post offices, army hous-
ing, air bases authorized under
the Wilcox act, and other prof.
ectS.

This bill" said Cox, who is
leading the fight to bottle up
the bill in the committee, sis
an attempt to regulate all in
dustry and to destroy the re-
served powers of the States over
their local concerns.
1T seeks to push Federal
power to the point of obliterat-
ing the distinction between COM
merce among the several States

He declared the idea that PEG
pie Of the nation will accept
Federal control over their daily

and ambitions, as q permanent
thing, is a lotuS-eater'S dream"
SABBATH AROUSED
Lambertson aroused the ire Of
Representative SABBATH CD of II
linois. who charged him with
making a political speech before
the committee.
But the KanSan, who main
tanned he has been a friend Of
labor, was allowed to continue his
attack on the measure.
1T is the intention under this
bill not only to control wages
and hours of industry in inter
state commerce but ultimately
to control all labor, even within
the States" said LambertSon.
II don't like this circumvention
of the Constitution.
This country Is too big and
too varied to be bianketed under
a bill without differentialS.
There is no question in my mind
that this bill first was proposed
to be a revamped MIRA"
Lambertson charged the bill
providing minimum wages rising
from Is to 40 cents after three
years and reducing hours from A
to 40 in the third year, woulc
destroy workers jobs.
DISTURB BUSINESS
"To pass this bill would dis
turb already alarmed business,
and send a thousand shoppers
over the country to pry into
business. big and little" he said.
He asserted it would not help
the 100000 unemployed to raise
wages of those who already have
jobs.
Representative WEIGH R) OF

be-, warned the committee it can
not permanently prevent passage
of wage-hourS legislation.
THE people want this human
itarian legislation" said WEIGH.
lou may delay this bill-but
you cannot delay it beyond the
next session of Congress.
WEIGH and Representative Coz
engaged in a heated controversy
over scope of the legislation.
You appreciate that farm
labor is the lowest paid labor"
said Cox. why did you leave it
out of the bill?"
Il didn't" retorted WEIGH.
"I'll support an amendment to
put it in"
You left it out because you
knew agriculture couldn't live
under the bill"
HITS LOW PAY
Cox attempted to draw from
WEIGH an admission that the bill
attempts to regulate production
and to invade the reserved pow
ers of the States.
Cant you see principle is
involved which threatens our
whole form of government?"
demanded Cox.
IF your people in the South
were paid more money every
body would be better off," re-
torted WEIGH.

moved for an international agree
ment to limit battleships to IS 900
tons each.
FOES KEEP FLOOR
AS the Senate resumed debate
today, there were threats to hold
the body in session tonight in an
effort to exhaust the opposition
Senators who have made nearly
all of the speeches on the bill
during the 10 days it has been
discussed.
Proponents, satisfied they have
enough votes to pass the bill, have
made few speeches, waiting for
the bipartisan opposition coali-
ton to complete bombardment.
Some congressional leaders fore
cast the bill would be passed by
the Senate tomorrow or Monday
at the latest. Majority Leader
Barley of Kentucky said he
would move again today for unani-
nous consent to put a gag" on
debate.
Controversy has centered upon
the section of the bill to authorize
an increase in tonnage. The
House, in passing the bill, voted
to authorize $4,000 tons, to be
divided into three capital ships OF
IS, 900 tons each. The Senate
naval affairs committee increased
this to $4,000 tons to allow for
three battleships Of $4,000 tons
apiece.
