Social Security Council
Asks Study Looking To
Extension OF Old-Age
Insurance COverage

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The
Advisory Council on Social Security,
representing labor, employers and the
public, has asked the Social Security
Board to submit information by Sep
tember Is on possible methods of ex-
tending the coverage of the old age
insurance program to include farm
labor, domestic employees and self
employed workers.
The request of the board opens the
question of extending the coverage of
the old-age insurance program, as ad-
vocated by organized labor.
The council has also notified the
board that it had decided unanimously
to recommend the inclusion of en-
ployes of non-profit religious, chari-
table and educations institutions
under the old-age insurance program.
'.There is no justification in social pol
icy for the exclusion of such organ
izations from the protection afforded

council said.
The recommendations of the coun-
ell were made in letter from j.
Douglas Brown, chairman, to Arthur
j. Altmeyer, chairman of the Social
Security Board.
Labor members of the council
which was set up last year to CO.

The mayor backs up his appeal by
saying that the city has right to fix
working hours for its employees. This
is taken to mean that employees who
disregard his warning will get irregu-

0.N.S.) A more even distribu.
ton of jobs and increased pur-
chasing power among wage earn
ers will result from the wage and
hour law which becomes effective
six weeks hence, Administrator
Elmer F. Andrews predicted to-
day.
He said the law, which estab-
fishes a minimum hourly wage Of
from Is to 40 cents and a maxi
mum work week of A hours for
interstate industries the first year,
will be self-policed by industry and

I'VE are going to depend upon
the citizens of the United States,
not upon an army Of inspectors

He said employers were looking

Q.N.S.) Democratic congres
sional campaign leaders are pre-
pairing for a special drive to re.
elect friendly Administration mem.
bers of the powerful House Ways
and Means Committee as a means
Of checking the antiAdministra'
ton old-age pension movements.
The committee, which will han
die the proposed revision and ex-
tension of the social security pro,
gram, is almost certain to be con-
fronted with demands for substitu-
tion Of the Townsend and similar
old-age pension plans.
FIVE ALREADY LOST
Five of the 18 Democratic mem
bers, chiefly strong Administers
ton men, already have been lest
through primary defeat or failure
to seek reelection.
Two members, Representatives
Lewis of Maryland and Wearin OF
Iowa, gave up their chances for
House reelection to seek Senate
seats. Representatives Sanders OF
Texas and Fuller of Arkansas
were defeated in primaries. Repre-
sentative Vinson Of Kentucky was
named to the District Of Columbia
Circuit Court. Sanders, who
helped frame the social security
program, lost to a "big pension"
candidate.
COP LOSES ONE
The small Republican minority
of seven has lost one member, Rep.
resentative Thurston Of Iowa, who
failed to win a Republican Sena
torial nomination.
Indicative Of the plans Of the
old-age pension groups is entrance
Of a Republican candidate, backed
by the Townsend 5000 q month
old-age pension group, againS;
Chairman Robert L. Doughton, Of
North Carolina. While there ap
pears slight possibility Of defeat
ing Doughton, the Townsendite'
decided to challenge him because
he has stood for the AdminiStra
ton old-age pension program anc
against the Townsend scheme.
The old-age pension groups hop'
to force public hearings on th'
Townsend Or similar plans. They
also seek to capture such a strong
bloc Of votes they can force repre-
Sentation on the Ways and Meanl
Committee regardless Of whether
Democrats or Republicans contro
the next House.
THREAT SEEN .
Success Of the $50 every Thurs
day candidates in the Democratic
primary in California has causes
