In Social Security Act

Washington, April 2S-While it is
uncertain whether proposed changes
in the Social Security Act will reach
the Senate floor for action this ses
sion, Senator Harrison of Mississippi
chairman of the Senate Finance Com,
mittee, said today that he hopes to
sec improvements rraSn &c e~on rs
possible in the Act" SO that poorer
states will be aided in the distribu
ton of funds to the old aged.
At the same time, he announced
membership of a subcommittee of the
Finance Committee to make a full
and complete study of the provisions
of the Social Security Act relating
to old age assistance and Federal old
age and SURVIVORS insurance benz
fits and the Federal Insurance Contri'
buttons Act; and any bills relating tc
such matters referred to the com
mittee during the SeventySSixth Con
grss."
The subcommittee is composed OF
Senators George, chairman; Connally
Byrd, Herring, johnson, LaFollette
V~andenberg and Townsend. Thirty
four measures affecting Social Sc
curity, including the so-called Town
send Bill, sponsored by Senator Dow
ney of California, nave been referred
to the Committee.
Declaring he desired to see all pro-
posals given a review, Senator Har
rison add that IT am anxious that
sometime in the near future the So
cial Security Act be strengthened SO
that the aged in such states Is Mis-
sissippi will receive more funds
monthly"
He recalled that last year he sup
ported the Connally amendment
which provided that the Federal Gov
eminent contribute to old age fund.-
at a ratio of two to one to the states
up % SIS and half over SIS. For
instance, If Mississippi contributed IN
average of SIS monthly to an aged
needy person, the Federal Govern
ment would put up $40. While al
states would be aided in proportion,
poorer states would be materially
benefited.
Under the present act, the govern.
ment and states contribute on q
$3.50 basis. Added cost of the Con-
nally proposal to the Government was
estimated at hearings last year at
$4,000 900 annually.
Tie Connally amendment, while
approved by the Senate, was lost in
Conference. Agreement on the mat
ter could % be reached and House
conferees declined to accept the plan
although Senator Harrison's insist
ence that the proposal be adopted
kept the committee in session until
two days before adjournment.
The Connally amendment was re-
introduced January 4

We feel a deep sympathy for Mr.. Citizen who evil
IDENTIFY is very dissatisfied with his lot in life. Perhaps
his wife has divorced him or perhaps he never had a wife.
Or maybe all his children were girls.
At any rate it is no fault Of modern women that
today we are expected to get out and earn our living
after being supported by our fathers to the age of &C.
countability. The modern lasie cannot do like her
mother and grandmother did. She cannot sit at home
and sew and read like a lady waiting until some man
would come along and swoop her off her feet and pay
her board bill the rest of her natural life. No indeed.
The modern miss is expected to stand on her own
feet and earn her own way after being reared and edu-
Gated by her family. At least the majority of women
nowadays come in that class.
Women work because they are compelled to as we'll
as because they like the freedom and independence
their jobs give them. The reason so many women to-
day seem to prefer a career to marriage is because they
hard matter perhaps to find a husband, but the modern
woman wants a man who can support her. And most
of these females" as he calls us, can do better for our
SELVES than a husband could do by us.
Young people getting out of school now want to
badly as any generation ever born. But young people
now graduate into the world of a complex economic
system. This world and economic system does not al
ways take them in. 1t is a long struggle. If they are
lucky and both have jobs they get married. And both
continue to work. If they aren't they stay single.
Every survey made and every poll taken in repre-
sentative schools throughout the the nation show the
large majority of our young women definitely prefer
marriage to a career.
There is some merit in some of the things Mr.. Cit
lzen says. We women are prone to go to extremes in
most anything we do. But all of us aren't unreasonable
and there are some of us subject to reasoning at times

solos by James French, Halle
Crowson and Helen Payne" and
you don't even have a hfe-size
picture of Miss Payne nor nomi-
nate her for the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra. I wonder
how this oversight occurred?
Yes-give the devil his dues.
But this extreme over-emphasis
of the female ability Is a decided
slam on tn ability Of the male
trend Of the newspaper publicity
the female is the only one who
can do anything. Mote the two
lovely ladies running for City
Clerk, with no maaes offering.
Just you try getting run into
by some sweet lady driving a car,
and NO MATTER what the cir
cumstances, you're always to
blame-s.why you saw her coming,
you should have gotten out of
her way"
Yes, I'm Southern born, but
this inherited Southern Chivalry
Is getting decidedly COOLER of
late years. In the South. In the
North 1t has already put women
on an equal footing with men,
the same as in Russia. While u
WCTU and other militant female
organizations usually clamor for
women's rights and equality, the
fact Is, they don't want equality,
they want the whole show, with
the male in the dog house or
playing a very minor role.
More and more these females
shy around motherhood duties.
The glamour of the movies and
newspapers has gone to the fem
mime head, and that all they will
condone. No more cooking and
household duties, just hire a ne
gro woman to do her wifely du-
ties and let the wife be a stem
ographer-but for glamour pur-
poses she calls herself a SECRE-
.AtL .vr sonl. poor r-a.a ~ ms
to be the head of his family and
support it.
Where Is all this feminine over
emphasis going to bring the ma
ton? Other nations do not have
this trouble, but America will re-
quire a sad awakening to come
to her senses on the matter. Be-
tween the movies, tn newspapers
and government or political Sc
lectioa the women have aban on
ed the role of mother for that Of
female. md il child, by ac-
cident, comes to the family, b.
all mean it's the last one, for
it interferes with her career and
activity Of the B. & P. w.
The working girl with her cos
metics, whiskey and cigarettes Is
a menace to the prosperity of the
nation. Why. even Hitler and
Mussolini won't stand for it, why
should we Americans?

Reminder Of Your Biggest Bargain

In a message to the editors of weekly newspapers,
Wright A. Patterson, publisher of the Newspaper Aux
liiary says:
"You put into each weekly issue from six to eight
columns, at least, of news about the friends and neigh
bors of each purchaser. That means at least 5000
words of such news each week-more than 100000
each year and in a years time equaling the content of
three averagesize books.
ut is all there for the subscriber to see, but does
he realize it. -t
"In your eight or more pages you are giving to each
subscriber at least 80 columns, 10000 words of what
to him is the most intensely interesting reading he can
obtain. That means a million and one-half words each
year, equal in quantity to the content of some Is average
size books which would cost him from $3.50 to $4,000"
The value is there. The subscriber can figure 1t
out for himself if he will"

if it is done in the right way.

We women aren't trying to run everything. AT
least some of US aren't even though we may be accused
of it often. We're just trying as best we can to do our
jobs in the only way we know how, so please don't Judge
us too harshly, Mr.. Citizen and Mr.. Male. If sometimes
we seem a little dictatorial or a little know-it-al don't
Judge all women by us. Rather just put us down as
human beings with the normal faults and failings that
characterize all women N MEN.
AS for equality of the sexes Heaven forbid
the day when women are really equal with men.
