HOUSE TO STUDY
PENSION PLANS
Doughton Says All Who Have
Schemes viii Be Given
Full Hearing.
By the Associated Press.

Representative Doughton, Democrat,
Of North Carolina gave assurance to-
day that a wide variety of pension
plans, including one for $200-a-month
payments, would get congressional at
tention next session.
He said the House Ways and Means
Committee, of which he is chairman,
would begin exploring the whole field
Of social security legislation shortly
after Congress meets in January.
Advocates of the Townsend and So
called general welfare plans will have
an opportunity to be heard fully, along
with other persons proposing changes
In the Social Security Act" he said.
Several score Congressman have
asked for hearings on the general
welfare act" which embraces the
Townsend plan in most details. The
Townsend and other pension programs
figured as issues in many Of the recent
primary elections, but the man who
introduced the general welfare bill,
Representative Crosby, Democrat. of
Pennsylvania, was DEBATED for res1om-
nation.
Payments Of $500 Monthly.
The bill contemplates payment of
not to exceed 5000 a.month to persons
over so. "A 2 per cent transactions tax
would finance the arrangement. Re-
cipients of the payments would have
to spend their money the same month
they received 1t.
Representative Doughton was not
prepared to say in what form the ad-
ministration might propose amend
ments to present social security legis-
lation. The Social Security Board, at
the direction of President Roosevelt,
has been exploring several possibilities
for altering the law.
Any recommendation it may make
on such points as these, Representative
Doughton said, will receive the COM
mittee's consideration:
Extending old-age pensions to some
$4,000, 900 agricultural, domestic and
other workers now excluded.
Larger Sums for Widows.
Providing larger pensions for Or
phans and widows Of persons who die
before reaching the retirement age OF
IS.
Increasing the benefits for persons
retiring in the next few years.
Starting old-age pension payments
before January l, 1912, the date hxed
in the present law.
President Roosevelt submitted half
Q dosen relatively minor Social Be-
curity Act amendments to Congress
last December. They were not acted
on, however.
Some legislators believe the financ-
ing Of the social security program will
be point Of dispute in the coming ses-
sion. Republicans particularly have
insisted on "pay-as-you-go" basis
instead Of building up q $47, ,000, 900 200
oid-age pension reserve fund by 1880.
Several members Of Congress have
proposed that old-age benefits be
raised from $40 to $50 or $50 month.
A number have introduced bills to
bring into the system persons now ex-
cluded.
