SOCIAL SECURITY
 TOBE BROADENED
New Congress Will Get Program to Cover Many
 More Workers

Washington. Nov. 30-(UP) Con- gress is prepared to receive from President Roosevelt soon after the new session begins a program for broad extension of the Social Security System to cover millions of additional workers-with a cor responding boost in federal payroll taxes.
 Chairman. Walter F. George, D.. Ga, of the Senate Finance Con- mittee told reporters that Congress probably would be asked to reWrite the Social Security laws but said he did not know how broad In scope the request will be-"
 President Roosevelt wrote George last October that he expected to send Congress "A comprehensive program for expanding and extend- ing the whole Social Security sys- ten along the lines laid down in my budget message last January. This program would involve substantial further increases in rates of contribution"
 The present payroll tax-used to finance the federally controlled Old Age Insurance System-is one per cent each on employer and em- ploye.
 It was understood that Congress will be asked to make the follow ing changes. first outlined in MT, RcoseVelt's budget message:
 1. Nasionalize on a uniform basis the Unemployment CompeE- . sation System now handled by the individual states, extend benefits to farm and domestic workers who are not now covered, and include per manent and temporary disability and disqualification payments.
 2. Boost the payroll tax to live per cent each on employer and em- ploye. Purpose Of this change would be to anticipate heavy postwar drains on the reserve funds. H. nance the liberalized benefit pay ments, and curb imitation by ab- scrbing purchasing power.
 3. Change the present system for Old Age Assistance grants to give the poorer states a relatively larger share of available federal funds. The federal government now matches dollar for dollar the money paid out by the states i'll grants to needy aged persons-ur to a combined maximum of $40 month-but the size of benefits varies widely in different states and averages less than s25 monthly.

 All owners of such vehicles must either place tape or paint over the the upper half of their headlights Mir. Jones also reported the regula. 5ions require drivers of the vehicle! not to operate over 30 miles an houl during the dimout period which starts one half hour after sundowr until one half hour before sunrise
 The regulations require a driver to use the lowest light beam in thickly settled areas. In addition, a parked vehicle must have parking and tail lights on.
 The First Service Commands reg ulations apply to every street or highway throughout the state, if they are registered with the state highway department.
 It was pointed out operators of vehicles must not become confused simply because Naugatuck has not been included in the Waterbury area. That area has nothing to do with the latest orders involving ve- hicles. Residents are expected to immediately make arrangements to comply with the new regulations which will be strictly enforced.
 The Naugatuck Community am bulance has been prepared for the dimlight restrictions for the Water- bury area because of the many trips it makes to hospitals in that city.

 From a grimy section of whirring machines and grinding gun lathes you step into spotless kitchens" where high explosives are prepared.
 It would be an ideal world, were 1t not for the constant threat of death. Through small bright shining windows you look out upon protective hills which have been banked high around these outlying sheds as buffers to stop any blast from reaching the world that is dirty"

TINT, which looks like strons tea, is poured into container, which might be deep dish pie tins except that they are deadly lano mines.
 One room specializes in placing a dab of smoke mixture into each shell which, when fired, makes a black pun that shows observers where the shell burst. This smoke mixture looks like vanilla Ice cream.
 Throughout this world of "clean" there is steam. Great overhead pipes interwine through the sheds and half way along one main pipe is the room where 4000-pound bombs are filled.
 DEADLY PEA SOUP"
 Three cooks" standing on step ladders were in the last stage of filling one of these steel cylin- ders. One man poured Q thick yellow mixture which looked like pea soup, the second stirred it with a wooden paddle, the third tossed in with loving care oh. iects which looked like baking powder biscuits; they give power to this titanic explosive.
 You don't get much money for working in this "clean" world = three guineas a week, which IS about SIS.
