at our disposal.
Postponement Planned.
Consequently, we believe that a
decision whether or not under the
pay-as-you-go system there will be
a need of advance in the tax rates
from to IL per cent on January
l, 1910, should be postponed until
data necessary for a conclusion can
be reached"
The chamber group also joined in
favoring the earlier date-l94O-fo
beginning insurance payments, and
said a change to pay-as-you-go
would leave ample funds for that
purpose. The report also agreed the
funds then available would be suffi-
cient to make more substantial
annuity payments to those who
reach the retirement age in the
earlier years of the plan, Postpone
ment Of benefits until 1912 in the
original law was based on the ac-
emulation of an insurance actu-
arial reserve.
A supplementary allowance to an
aged wife, equal to half the hus-
bands own benefit, was one of the
chamber suggestions for increasing
benefits to promote security.
"Of course" 1t added, IF an aged
wife In her own right. upon reaching
IS. Is herself entitled to q larger
benefit, she should be allowed to re-
ceive this larger payment in lieu of
the supplementary allowance.
Annuity for Widow.
Another form of increase should
be a provision, under proper safe
guards. giving to the widow of an
insured worker, after she has
reached IS, an annuity reasonably
related to the annuity her husband
would have received.
"A third form of increase would
likewise have as its purpose promo
tion OF family security. and would
make provision against the chance
that an insured worker may die be-
fore reaching IS, leaving dependent
children or widow with dependent
children. For the former there
should be provided during the years
of usual dependency an orphans
benefit, and for such a widow hav-
ing in her care one or more depend
ent children of her deceased hus-
band there should be correspond
ing widows benefit payable during

The Presidents son said his state
ment about Vice President Garner
was purely my observation
of political trend within the
Democratic party. according to my
survey of the situation" as radio
commentator.
Young Roosevelts letter follows:
my Dear john
Thanks for your open letter. I
am glad you like Mr.. Garner for his
fishing ability, chewing of tobacco,
drinking of whisky straight. cussing
and other human traits. You list
him as too sot in his ways and too
old-fashioned
You ask me whether he has tied
into big king salmon like you
have in Puget Sound. incidentally,
the largest king salmon are about
the size of the smallest tarpon
caught off the Texas coast, so don't
boast about your fish like a cham
ber of commerce official until you
ascertain whether you can outdo us
in Texas.
You infer by your public letter
that I am not as strong in support
Of the President as are you.
Il am not politician. not a
New Dealer, anti-NeW Dealer or any
other type of supporter of isms.
But I am as loyal as you or any
one else in the country to my father.
1 do not always agree with his in
dividual programs and I believe he
appreciates constructive suggestions
and criticism. My statement with
regard to Garner was purely my OBJ
servation and report to the people
OF Texas via my semi-weekly broad
casts over the Texas State network
of political trend within the Dem
ocratic party according to my survey
of the situation
Il have no way, nor do you. of
knowing whether the President
would run for third term or not.
When he makes up his mind he will
announce. not through you or me,
but to the world at large. What the
family thinks or feels has no bear

stated. Two points at which these
compensatory adjustments could be
made were suggested One was to
reduce the benefits for single per-
sons who reach IS after the plan has
been in ful!-scale operation. or
after it has been operative for 20
years. The other called for an ad-
justment of the amount payable at
the death of covered worker who
dies before reaching retirement age.
The chamber committee urged
postponement of proposals to extend
social security to groups not now
under the system, such as domestic
servants and agricultural workers,
until the Social Security Board has
studied these questions further.
EmplOye Contributions.
The report urged Congress to con-
slider amending the Federal act to
enable any State to reduce the un-
employment tax burden to meet ac-
tual needs. 1t went on record also
in favor of employees as we'll as
employers contributing to the un-
employment compensation fund.
While advocating a strengthening
of the provisions for old-age insur-
ance, the committee said it did not
believe there should be additions to
the Federal responsibility for the
old-age assistance plans of the
States"
In his statement concerning the
Morgenthau proposals. Representa-
tive Doughton chided Republican
members of the Ways and Means
Committee for issuing a statement
saying the recommendations were
what the Republicans had been de-
manding for three years.

disagree from time to time but any
man who thinks for himself would.

POWELL, Wyo., March 25.-Ofi-
GERS found today within 3 miles of
Powell hideout in which Earl Du-
rand, raw meat-eating badman killed
by his own bullet, stayed five days
while possemen hunted his trail.
While the 26-year-old Wyoming
game poacher was dressed for his
burial in a trinity fashioned brown
suit, Sheriff Frank Blackburn re-
ported discovery of the hideout in
which Durand had left quarter
of raw beef and leg of venison.
Slayer of four men, the desperate
fugitive died yesterday, shooting up
his hometown bank at the end of a
bloody nine-day flight from the law.
The bank teller was killed in the
wild holdup battle.
Private Funeral Arranged.
Durand's mother and father, re-
spected ranching couple, arranged
private funeral for their son.
Coroner Ray Easton said no in
quest was necessary for the dead
fugitive and the funeral probably
would be Monday at the ranch home
Of his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. w. w.

Friends of the family said to-
night, however. the burial might be
made tomorrow to avoid curious
sight-seers. Only members of the
family and few close friends will
be permitted at the funeral.
Mr.. Easton said he probably
would hold an inquest Monday in
the death of John Gawthrop. 20,

fore him as shield against the fire
OF toWnspeople into the bank door.
Mr.. GaWthrop was killed by a bullet

tirements is designed to increase
job opportunities for some of the
unemployed.
The South Carolina Senator said
also he thought it would be possible
to increase the annuity payments
! for those who would retire In these
earlier years without putting next
years scheduled pay roll tax boost
into effect.
Senator Byrnes also urged simpli-
fication Of the rules governing social
security tax payments to relieve
thousands of small shopkeepers from
what he regards as burdensome re-
quirements in seeking to comply
with Federal old-age tax reports
and State unemployment compensa-
ton tax records.
Since tax legislation must origi-
nate in the House, the Morgenthau
proposal probably will start in the
House Ways and Means Committee.
There is already on the Senate CAL
| endar, however, the House bill for
reciprocal taxation of Federal and
State employees, under income tax
laws, and since this Is a revenue
measure, social security tax revision
could be tackled onto 1t as an
amendment.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
| of Michigan, who for two years has
been urging the administration to
call off future increases in the pay
roll taxes in order to get away from
building up a huge reserve. has
drafted an amendment for that pur-
pose, to be offered whenever the
reciprocal income tax measure is
taken up.
S1,131 900, 900 Reserve Fund.
In its report, the Chamber of
Commerce committee pointed out
the old-age reserve fund already had
reached $1,131 100000 on December
81, and that if the pay roll taxes
go up one-half of l per cent on
both employer and employe next
year, the annual yield would increase
from $500, 900 to 5000, ,0O0 900.
The report presumably was draft
ed before Secretary Morgenthau ad-
vanced the administration propos-
ais for changes in the social secur-
ity system. In some respects, how
ever. its recommendations followed
closely those of the Treasury head.
Secretary Morgenthau suggested
the present plan for full reserve"
might well be abandoned in favor
of contingent reserve of $4,000, ,000,-
900 to $300O000 900.
The Chamber of Commerce report
while recommending 'pay-as-you-
60" basis. suggested maintaining "a
contingent reserve sufficient only to
permit continuation of maturing
benefit payments during periods of
temporary depression and continual
ton of stable tax rates."
THE extent of the funds available
next year, if there is change to a
pay-as-you-go basis, is obviously
large" the report stated. THE
amount will appear large, too, in
relation to such supplemental and
increased benefits as are advocated
in this report. The exact require

featured in the campaign.
Schubert Symphony Leads.
The survey showed that the i'm
mortal Unfinished Symphony" of
Franz Schubert, first of the 10 SYM
phonic works being made available,
continues to lead in the distribution.
More than 1000 sets were sold dur
ing the first week this symphony
was offered but in the succeeding
weeks the total for this release has
jumped above $500.
More than $500 groups of the re-
cordings of Beethoven's Symphony

of the campaign, have been pur-
chased, and more than $500 sets of

Meanwhile the first three SYM
phonic masterpieces will continue
to be available at the music appreci-
alton booth, and the record players
may be obtained during the entire
period of offering.

The number of sets of the "Un-
finished Symphony" that have been
distributed thus far exceeds even
the total number of reservations
