The new excise levies which be-

Although the Treasury Depart

part Of the whole revenue program

President to

Plans New Curb
on Initiation

Washington, oct. LAP A spe-
cial message will go to Congress
soon detailing President Roose-
velt's recommendations for a broad
expansion OF the Social Security
program which would double the
number OF workers covered and
probably increase the contributions
Of employers and employees.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a press con
ference yesterday that such a
move would be beneficial in two
ways deterring initiation by max
ing a smaller amount OF earnings
available for the purchase OF scarce
consumer goods, and guarding
against deflation when the post
emergency transition is made to a
normal economy.
BY the Presidents own estimate,
the number of persons covered by
Social Security provisions would
be Jumped from 400 5000 to So
100000.
Particulars OF the plan were with
held pending preparation OF the
presidential message, which Mr.
Roosevelt said would be sent to
Congress soon. Several changes,
however. are known to have been
under discussion by interested Of
fcials.
One OF these called for extending
the contributory old-aRe insurance
system TO form laborers, domestic
servants, self@ployed persons,
farm operators and others not cur
rently covered.
Another plan proposed broaden
ing the unemployment insurance
regulations to take in maritime
workers and employees OF firms with
payroll OF less than eight both
now exempt classes.
Treasury and Social Security ex-
perts also were working on a plan
TO liberalize federal grants to less
prosperous states. 10 permit pay
ment OF larger old age pensions
tnon-contributory benefits, as con
trasted 10 the payments TO indiyi-
duals made under the old age in
surance SYSTEM
The President said no considera-
ton was being gwen 10 increasing
the total federal contribution to-
ward old age pensions or reducing
the age limit Of 65, but that the
federal aid should be higher for
low income states.
