House 10 Finish
Security Bill
Debate Today
II Efforts to Revise
Amendments Are
All Beaten Back
BACKGROUND

bAC OOND-
Social Security Act has not
been opened for amendment
since passage in 1885 In 1888
Congressional campaign, many
victorious candidates were
pledged to support Townsend
old-dge pension scheme. To meet
threat OF this ertreme proposal,
administration this year drafted
amendments liberdlising social
security, then administered
crushing defeat to Townsend bill
before bringing its o,Dn alter
natiUe to House floor.
Encouraged by their complete sue
cess yesterday in beating off all ef-
forts. II in number, to revise the
Social Security Act amendments re-
ported by the Ways and Means Com
mittee, House administration leaders
planned to complete discussion OF
the proposed notifications of the
law today.
Working their way through the
bill. section by section, yesterday
afternoon, the House spent most of
its fury in debating and voting on
numerous proposals for increasing
the Federal contributions to old
age pensions.
At the present time, such con-
tributlons have a maximum of SIS
per person per month, with the
States required to match this sum.
BY the terms of the committee
amendments. this maximum would
be raised to $40.
First One Loses ia to 81.
BY the terms of numerous pro-
posals offered on the floor yesterday.
the dollar-for- dollar matching form
ula would have been abandoned to
make the Federal Government sup
ply as much as four dollars for each
one put up by the States. This par
tlcular proposition. offered by Rep
resentative Colmer. Democrat, OF
Mississippi was first voted on and
was defeated by a teller count of
l74 to 81.
Notifications of the Colmer pro-
posal went down to speedy defeat
later.
Representatives Carlson. Repub-
lican. of Kansas and Jenkins, Re-
publican. of Ohio provoked a con-
troversv which consumed almost as
much time as debate on the Colmer
amendment when they tried to strike
from the bill sections they said
would entitle foreign sailors, perhaps
those of Japanese fishing vessels, -"
/ to old-age insurance.
/ Other Amendments Voted.
Representative Buck. Democrat. of
California pointed out that this type
Of benefit would be extended only
to crews employed by at least one
citizen or corporation of the United
States.
Representatives Carlson and Jen-
kins wanted TO eliminate a phrase
pertaining to employment "irrespec-
tive OF the citizenship" of the worker.
The House gave tentative approval,
among other things, to the following
committee amendments:
( Creation of an old-age and sur
vlvor insurance trust fund.
Bringing into the old-age pension
system about 100000 additional
persons. including seamen, bank en-
ployes and employed persons age IS
and over.
Increasing the Federal contribu-
tion for dependent childrens benefits
from 81 for every 50 provided by
States to fiat dollar for dollar.

As Echoes of Come
Again Ring in Eors
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.


The Capital speculated today over
how and when President Roosevelt
will return the historic visit of Eng
lands King George and Queen
Elizabeth, who waved CHEEKY
goodby to Washington last night
amid echoing shouts of come
again"
The gracious visiting monarchs
left behind them hosts of memories
for a thrilled populace to talk about
and historians to record as the re-
suit of a crowded two-day program
that mingled ceremonial pomp and
grandeur with pleasing informahty
1t is for the President to decide
how the neighborly visit, cement
ing more closely the ties of Anglo
American friendship, shall be re-
paid.
Protocol-that rigid etiquette of
international elations-demands a
return call of some sort. Mr.. Roose-
welt has the choice of going to
London in person as President or
after he leaves office. or of sending
a representative to pay his respects
Meet Again at Hyde Park.
Departure of the King and Queen
for a hurried view of the New
York Worlds Fair marked only an
interlude in the Presidents enter
tainment of his royal guests, for
they will proceed late today to Hyde
Park for restful, informal week
end at the Roosevelt homestead.
The King and Queen left on
their blue and silver royal train at
1l:45 pm, only a few moments
before President and Mrs. Roose-
welt entrained for Hyde Park to
meet them again following au re-
volrs at ceremonial dinner given
by their majesties at the British
Embassy in honor of the President
and his wife.
The dinner party climaxed a day
in which the royal visitors greeted
British subjects and war veterans
at the Embassy and members of
Congress at the Capitol. laid
wreaths on the tombs of George
Washington and the Unknown
Soldier, looked over the Fort Hunt
Civilian Conservation Corps Camp
and heard officials and a labor
leader informally explain the social
and economic activities of the Gov
ernment.
Wherever they went about the
city, their smiling majesties were
greeted by enthusiastic cheers from
thousands gathered along their
way, carrying on in more scattered
fashion the tumultuous reception
that welcomed the British sover-
eigns Thursday.
Undaunted by darkness or the
lateness of the hour, more than
10000 men, women and children
eager for last glimpse of the royal
visitors, massed behind police lines

500, 1000 crowns ($20,00O and disci-
plined by stringent curfew, the
closing of its schools and the re-

As New Zoo Arrivals Clean Up
Big Cargo Of Birds and Animals
Happy to Be Uneroted After Long Trip

new quarters today. Also three
wild dogs of the pampas. These
little fellows were still belligerent
after three weeks in a crate. They
got into a brawl at 4 am. yesterday
as our ship approached New York.
DR.. Mann, whose cabin port looked
out on the cages, was awakened. He
tried to make peace by sprinkling
the wild dogs with drinking water.
but that only made them madder.
The result was that DR.. Mann, and
perhaps a few other passengers for
ward, got no more sleep that night.
1T was almost morning, anyhow" +"
DR.. Mann said.
The Zoo director is anxious to get
the new animals on exhibition as
soon as possible. One reason is the
fact that two sailors from the S. S.
Brazil are expected here to see them
tomorrow-Bos'n Charley Bauer and
Seaman Chester (Scotty) Brown.
The two men were life-savers on
the long voyage North, working over
time at cleaning, shifting crates and
feeding. DR.. Mann wants them to
see the animals under more IA
vorable circumstances. 1t was hot
work, coming through the tropics,
especially in the doldrums with a
following breeze.
Under such circumstances 70
crates Of birds, beasts and reptiles
can give off distinct odor. A Brit
lsh noblewoman who got on the ship
in Trinidad will testify to this. The
only available cabin was in the cen.
ter OF the boat, and the port looked
out on the freight deck.
The lady passenger was no SOON
er on board than she stuck her
head out of the port. The horned
screamers were sounding off and
the wild dogs f1ghting-again.
I hear you have some animals
on board" the lady said to DR.. Mann.
"Yes," DR.. Mann replied, you
can hear them for yourself, but
hope you can't smell them"
"Ah, they're bit sniffy, I should
say but fortunately I picked up
something OF a cold IN Trinidad"
On hand to see that the animals
were made comfortable in their new
homes were DR.. Mann, who escorted
them from their South American
environs; Ernest p. Walker, assist
ant director, who has awaited the
arrival of the collection with eager
ness, and William H. Blackburne
headkeeper, who states openly that
newcomers mean nothing but more
work for him, but secretly Is de-
lighted when strange faces appear
for his care-taking.
Missing from the list of scheduled
newcomers were two llamas and
two guanacos. They had to be left
behind in New York in quarantine
DR.. Mann said their homecoming
will be delayed for two or three
weeks.
