lated services and agencies. we have broad
ened and cleared the channels of cooperation
in two important directions. One line of
cooperation follows the traditional pattern
that ties together the several branches of our
Government, Federal State and local; the
Social Security Act. as written in 1885 and
amended in 1889, recognizes that all three
have a stake in the security of individual
citizenS-and an obligation to promote and
protect their well-being. The second line of
cooperation recognizes interrelationships
within the Federal Government; the Federal
Security Agency, established in 1899, brings
together group of Federal services all en-
gagged in this broad field of social security.
Cooperation along both lines is obviously
an aid to effective administration. But essen
tial as this is, Government cooperation has
also further significance; it represents a
creative application of American principles of
Government to the problems of our own
times. In the long run, that may offer as
great promise of future strength as do the
specific projections so provided.
During the past 18 months, world events
have made us acutely conscious of the need
for positive, constructive Nationwide team
work. 1t is imperative not only for security
at home, but also for national defense against

means of righting this situation can and

threats from without. In the present emer-
gency our eight years experience in national
cooperation for social security may we'll
prove invaluable. 1t has demonstrated that
democratic government, in this country today
has the intelligence, the vitality, and the will
to utilize its own mechanisms effectively.
And it has provided us with one of the essen
tials of national defense, which could not pos
sbly have been created overnight after the
emergency was already at hand.
That essential is a solid base for the eco
nomic stability, the health, and the morale
of the people-a foundation which the peo-
pie have built for themselves and through
their own processes of sclf-government But
comprehensive as it already is this founda-
ton is by no means complete: the task is
too big to have been completed all at one

tions into the Federal old-age and survivors
insurance system. Providing this protection
for domestic and agricultural workers does
present problems, but possible solutions are
already being studied. A similar need for
gradual extension of coverage is also evident
in job insurance, and eventual development
in this direction may also be expected
Along with this reaching out to protect
more people, we must work toward more
adequate provisions for health protection.

WHEN Congress had the Social Security
Act under consideration first in 1885 and
again in 1882 it wisely tabled certain issues
until actual operation should suggest how
best to meet the special problems involved.
Perhaps the most important of these long
recognized needs is the extension of social
insurance to cover more people and more
risks.

sentially the same in all three public assist
ance programs. Federal cooperation has
already made much more assistance avail
able than at any time in the past. But the
existing system, under which the Federal
Government makes grants to match State
funds for this purpose, does not take into
account the great variation in the fiscal
capacity of the States. AS a result, assist

Defense Urged 10 Use
Inland Waterways More

With Undersecretary Taylor di-
recting their efforts. Commerce De-
partment officials have launched
drive this week for greater utillza-
ton of inland waterways by ma
tional defense agencies. In addition
to stepping up the flow of petroleum
to the Atlantic Coast area by barges
operating on the Mississippi and
Ohio Rivers, they hope to increase
the use of these waterways for the
TRANSPORTATION of other bulk COM
modities.
Following a conference here Sat-
urday between department officials
and a group of inland waterway car
riers, a committee was appointed to
study the possibility of establishing
a favorable balance of traffic by IN
creasing the volume of southbound
movements, and to canvas the need
for additional equipment.
Though barges moving upstream
are reported to have been carrying
capacity loads since July l, ship
ments southwark have declined, due
chiefly to the transfer of steel car
goes to the railroads.
According to reports reaching the
Commerce Department, a barge tow
of 100000 gallons of gasoline left
New Orleans last week for Pitts
burgh-the largest single movement
of gasoline up the river in the his
tory of that port.

FurIoughs Forecast Record
Travel for Holiday Season
Railroads and Bus Lines Prepare for
Avalanche; Air Lines NrtuoIIy Booked Up

Railroads. air lines and bus lines
serving this nerve center of the Ma
tion's defense effort are preparing
TO handle the heaviest year-end
holiday travel in many years-and
quite possibly the heaviest in WASH
ington's history.
Basing their predictions on an al
most unprecedented avalanche of
advance reservations. the fact that
large segment of the armed forces
will be furloughed for home visits,
and the prospect that general
travel will be much greater than in
recent years, transportation officials
anticipate record-breaking throngs
OF holiday passengers.
The biggest task facing the air
lines is that of finding enough planes
to accommodate all the people who
want 10 fly. Actually, the air lines
don't expect to be able to carry large
numbers of additional passengers
during the Yuletide HOLIDAYS simply
because facilities are being taxed
almost 10 the limit on normal" days
now.
Trips Booked Weeks Ahead.
Air line officials said many reser-
YatiOnS for holiday trips have been
booked for weeks, and passenger
traffic already is heavier than ever
before
And We could double the number
of air travellers if We could get all
the extra planes We need" COM
mented one air line official.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad said
today that the movement of soldiers
alone will require the line 10 place
300 or more extra trains in opera
