BEYOND PARTISANSHIP

The most far-reaching change which the decade of the 30s wrought in the pattern of American life was that brought about by the Social Security Act, one of the many pieces of progressive legislation which bears the name of Senator Wagner of New York
 This year Social Security will be five years old for it August IA 1885. that President Roose- welt signed the measure designed to erect system of security against the major hazards and vicssi tudes of life" The system includes old age annui- ties unemployment insurance, the payment to the States and Territories matching basis of funds for public assistance to the needy aged and for other welfare services such aid to the blind and maternity
 This month Social Security enters phase of practical application for the several million Ameri cans who have been paying percent of their wages to the Treasury, matching similar taxes paid by their employers As of January the pension paying by the Social Security Board gees into effect While no checks are to be distributed until next month, the system is in operation
 It is in no sense charity or relief but based upon self-eaned and saved benefits for old age Pension payments are starting this year instead of in 1922 as result of the amendments voted into the Social Security Act last summer. At the time the present percent contribution by em- ployer and employee was frozen" for three years and benefits were extended to include the widows ana uepenQent children or ellglDle pensioners.
 The record of Social Security far is an im pressive example of the possibility of achieving inn portant social advances under the democratic pro- It refutes the claim, heard more frequent ly than it is now, that it requires dictator to accomplish such changes and that the necessary choice for the democraces is between security and freedom America chooses both and is preparing to get them, not by panaceas Of the Townsend or Bgelow stripe but by sound and practical methods.
 Also encouraging to those who have faith in democratic institutions is the manner in which Social Security has ceased to be partisan issue. This, 1t is true, rather hard In 1886 the Republicans attacked the system in toto. The pay envelope" drive against the Social Security Act on the eve of the presidential election was the crown ing blunder of a stupid campaign and will be corded in American history the perfect example of political boomerang.
 Apparently the Republicans learned something,

Electrical
 Business Is
 On Increase

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Orders re- ceived by electrical equipment man. ufacturers rose steadily in 1889. and total bookings for the year exceed ed 1888 by approximately 35 per cent.
 Production, however, was unable to keep pace with new orders and sales actually billed to customers were only about Is per cent greater than a year ago. Large backlogs of thrilled orders assure high rate of operations at least through the early months of 1940,
 If general business activity con tinues good, trade sources estimate that 1940 VII see a further increase of 10 to Is per cent in output.
