Expected Cold Spell
Threatens 10 DELAY
Cherry Blossoms
Festival to Be Held Next
Week Regardless,
OfficioIs Soy

The advancing cold spell today
threatened to upset calculations of
the committee which is planning the
Capitals annual Cherry Blossom
Festival for q week from tomorrow,
but officials said the festival would
be held then whether the blossoms
are out or not
C. Marshall Finnan, superin-
tendent Of National Capital Parks,
said the buds on the famous Jap
anese cherry trees around the Tidal
Basin looked today as If a week of
warm weather would bring them out
into full bloom. but uncertainty of
what the weather will be makes it
impossible to predict the actual bios
soming time.
The temperature was falling this
morning, and the Weather Bureau
forecast fair and colder tonight and
tomorrow, with the lowest tempera-
ture tonight expected to be about %
degrees. The mercury fell slowly
from 24-hour high point of IS de-
grees at 2 pm. yesterday to A at 7
am today, and was down to 43 by
$50 am.
Festival UNCHANGED.
Encouraged by the warm weather
the first of this week to expect the
blooms within a week, the Cherry
Blossom Committee decided Tuesday
that, the 1889 festival will be held
March "a. Edgar Morris, chairman
Of the committee, said today he still
hoped the blossoms would be out in
full color by then, but that the festi-
val would go on as scheduled, re-
gardless of whether the trees had
bloomed.
1t was necessary to set a date for
the festival and stick to it, Mr..
Morris said, because of the arrange
ments that have to be made in ad-
vance, particularly those involving
cooperation of the Army and the
Marine Band.
The Commissioners were expected
to sign a proclamation today OH
cially setting March "a as Cherry
Blossom Festival day.
To Begin At 7 AM.
Mr.. Morris said construction work
on the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
site will not interfere with the view
OF the cherry blossoms this wear.

When to Shelve Patience

Patience isn't much of a virtue
when it is spent in waiting for
something to turn up.
The two most beautiful things
in the universe are the starry
heavens above us and the feeling
of duty within us.

1t Pleases Him More
It is much easier for a woman
to mend her husbands clothes
than his ways.
Too many people think "give

giving and their taking.
A high degree of education
sometimes makes a man con-
temptuous of the rest of us.

Security Officials
See Eventual Need
For u. 5. Subsidy
Estimate Payments Will
Far Exceed Pay Roll
Toxes by 1855

b the Associated Press.
Social Security Board officials said
yesterday that under the revised law,
the old-age insurance program
sooner or later would cease to be
self-supporting and would have to
be backstopped by outright Govern
ment subsidies.
Because of unpredictable business
conditions and inexperience with
the program, they declined to guess
when this condition would come
about or how much of direct sub
sidy would be necessary.
But they estimated that along
about 1855, payments would so far
exceed incoming pay roll taxes that
Congress would have to go to the
rescue of dwindling reserve fund.
The situation developed when
Congress recently enacted amend
ments to the social security law
which, among other things, abandon
plans for a ,000,000000 reserve
fund by 1880, revise benefit payment
schedules and freeze pay roll taxes
at per cent each for employer and
employe for the next three years.
Changes Explained.
In detailed explanation of the
changes, the board said:
The old-age reserve account is
replaced by an old-age and sur
vivors' insurance trust fund which
will be maintained on a substan-
TALLY 'day-to-day' basis. Since no
large reserve will be built up, it is
expected that the program can not
be supported entirely by pay roll
taxes in the relatively distant fu-
ture."
An assistant to Chairman Arthur
J. Altmeyer said the contemplated
deficit undoubtedly would be offset
by outright appropriations, since
Congress probably would not be dis
posed to increase the present Sched-
ule of maximum tax of per cent
3 per cent each by employer and
worker-in 1949.
1855 Picture Forecast.
Board statistics showed benefit
payments would exceed pay roll
taxes-under the present schedules
for the first time in 1855. A deficit
of S81 100000 in that year would
be offset by an estimated sl69, 900, 900
interest payment on the accumu-
lated reserve. That found then
would be $6;87l OOO,O 900, but would be
close to the statutory limit.
When the reserve drops to less
than three times the highest esti-
mated annual benefit payment total
for the succeeding five years, the
three trustees must report to Con-
gress. The trustees are the Secre-
taries of Labor and the Treasury
and the Social Security Board chair
man.
