Social Security Quiz
How Revised Setup Would Apply to
Each Worker Is Revealed

sideration would increase the bene-
flts payable, particularly to those
who Will reach IS and retire during
the next few years.
Two Methods for Benefits,
Q. How will benefits be increased?
A. Two methods are proposed: {:
First, by figuring benefits on the
basis OF average wages instead of
on the present basis Of total ac-
cumulated wages. Second, by pro-
vlding supplementary benefit for
your wife If she also is IS or over.
Under the present law the average
monthly payment in 1912 probably
would come to about $17.50 month
under the revised plan, the average
for single persons would be about
$25.85 and for a husband and wife
about $38.78 a month.
@. Will these amendments af-
feet the benefits payable to my
family in the case of my death?
A. Yes; they will increase their
protection by providing monthly
benefits for widows. orphans and
dependent parents. Under the pres
ent law, no monthly benefits would
be payable If you should die; in
stead your heirs or estate would
receive single cash payment equal
to 3l2 per cent of your earnings
covered by this system.
@. How much would these month
ly benefits for survivors come to?
A. Benefits for widows would
come to three-fourths of the basic
benefits to which the worker would
have been entitled; benefits for de-
pendent children and parents to
one-half. If worker leaves no
relative entitled to monthly bene-
fit, a lump-sum death payment
would be payable to another rela-
tive or to the person who handled
the funeral expenses. The maxi
mum for such lump-sum payments
is six times the basic benefit to
which the worker would have been
entitled.

A double -barreled attack on ad-
ministration fiscal policies was TAX
ing shape in the Senate today, with
the so-called economy bloc open
ing fire on dollar devaluation leg
islation and Western Senators criti-
cizing the silver program.
Republican Leader McNary dis
closed he was planning a confer
ence of his party members to map
opposition to a House e-approved bill
extending the Presidents authority
to reduce the gold content of the
dollar and to continue the $2,000,-
100000 stabilization fund.
Joining the Republican opposi-
ton was group of economy mind
ed Democrats, led by Senators Glass
Of Virginia and Adams of Colorado.

man, Democrat, of Nevada, said he
had urged Secretary Morgenthau
to make known the administration s
intentions about a possible change
in the price of silver when the do
mestic purchase proclamation ex-
pires June 30.
Senator Pittman charged that the
Western mining industry was being
"ham-strung" by lack of knowledge
of future silver prices.

A House Ways and Means Sub

ing a bill extending more than
$500 900 900 of excise or nuisance"

remove so-called "irritants" to busi-
ness. The measure is not expected
to be ready for House consideration

AItmeyer Suggests
Greater Benefits for
Poorer States
Varying Percentage
Of TotoI Cost Urged
Before Senators
BACKGROUND

House on Saturday approved
reuisions in social security laws.
The changes pouide for begin
ming old-age benefit payments
merit year instead of in 1912 and
tor postponing increases of the
old-aoe insurance tar scheduled
under the present ldW for jan
udry, 1912. The amendments
also eItend the benefits of the
la,0 to some Uorkers not pre-
UtouSly couered.
By the Associated Press.
Revision of the social security pro-
gram to give greater Federal benefits
to the less wealthy States was sug-
gested today by Chairman Arthur
J. Altmeyer of the Social Security
Board.
Mr.. Altmeyer testified before the
Senate Finance Committee on
House-approved amendments to the
Social Security Act. Among other
things, the amendments freeze
existing old-age insurance taxes for
three years at the existing rate of
l per cent on employees and / per
cent on employers. They also would
start old-age insurance payments in
1910 instead of 1912.
Mr.. Altmeyer testified the Social
Security Board believes it is es-
sential" to change the system of
making uniform Federal grants to
States for public assistance pro-
grams and to substitute a system
whereby the percentage of the total
cost in each State met through
a Federal grant would vary in ac-
cordance with the relative economic
capacity of the State"
At present, the Government puts
up so per cent of benefits paid by
States to the aged and the blind
and 33ls per cent of benefits paid
to dependent children.
Chairman Byrnes. Democrat, of
South Carolina of the Senate Un-
employment Committee, was invit-
ed to sit with the Finance Com
mittee in the consideration OF the
new legislation. In the past, Sen
ator Byrnes has advocated a vari-
able system Of Federal grants based
on the relative ability of the States
to finance security programs.
Although the social security
amendments would freeze the old
age insurance taxes at their pres
ent level, Mr.. Altmeyer told the
committee his board was skeptical
Of proposals to reduce the existing
unemployment insurance tax of 8
per cent on employers pay rolls.
There certainly is not sufficient
experience at this time to justify
a general downward reduction in the
contribution rate" he said.
Mr.. Almeyer testified that $780,
600 needy persons received benefits
totaling $495 100000 during 1898
from Federal-State public assistance
programs. OF the total outlays S391,-
100000 went for old-age assistance,
$93 100000 for aid to dependent
children and $1,000, 900 for aid to
the blind.

He knows, as he goes about his daily runs, that he Is the No. 1 man fl, baseball. There isn't . manager or owner in either league, who, if given his choice of players, wouldn't cali his name above all others.
 Public Hero
 He is mobbed at the ball park by admirers. His path along the streets no matter in what city, is blocked by autograph and camera fiends. Nc matter where he goes he is recog- nized, applauded, and given homage
 Joe DiMaggio actually must won- der how long soft touch like base ball has been going on. He never had the weary, dreary years in the min- ors. Within three brief season he proved himself ready for the majors, where the pay is good, the living comfortable. He never had the hard, long pull for recognition.
 After that one season in the min- ors he moved right into the lineup of the Yankees, the richest. most suc- cessful club in baseball. His every season in the majors has been cli- maxed by 6 world series engage rnent, and most of the players in baseball would think fate had done it's bit to get them in one world series.
 And all the series have been win. ming ones, with Joe getting the gold and glory that goes to the star of thu victorious team. He hasn't missed ar all-star game, either. He made 1t hi first year, as rookie, and he hai made 1t ever since.
 Bright Years Ahead
 And Di Maggie is really just be. ginning. With average luck he car look forward to 10 or more years oi first class baseball. With better thar average luck he can look forward t< l5 more years under the big top. Anc with top billing too.
 The man has everything that ht wants, even love. Yes, dear old, sweet old, boy and girl love. He is engaged to the girl he considers the "only gir, in the world." and will be married soon after the world series in Oc. tober.
