Of disability benefits to air raid
wardens and other civilian defense
aides. He said his amendment would
confine their disability payments to
injuries caused by direct enemy
action.
Senator Taft argued that If an air
raid warden was taking a bath when
the sirens blow and broke a leg in
his hurry to get out, he would be
eligible as the bill is drafted to seek
disability payments.
The Ohio Senator said he had
been informed there may be any
where from 5000, 900 to 5000 900 in
civilian defense work, and suggested
the bill would create a new class of
pensions"
Senator Pepper contended the
payments would only be made for
injuries constituting at least one
third OF total disability, and limited
to five years after the war. The pay
ments would range from a minimum
OF $40 a month for partial disability
and $50 for total disability to a max
imum OF $85, with $50 additional if
an attendant is necessary.
Win First, McKeIlar Advises.

developed, Senator Taft was advo-
eating second amendment to strike

tice blackouts as well as actual air

when the Senate reconvenes Mon

Senator Pepper explained there
was no estimate Of the possible cost
of the plan because no one could
predict the extent Of civilian injury
before the war ends. He argued,
however, the bill had the approval
of the Budget Bureau, which re-
ported it was not in conflict with
the Presidents financial program.
The bill appeared on the verge of
passage in the late afternoon when
the veteran independent, Senator
Norris Of Nebraska sounded the first
note of warning against the Govern
ment's ability to meet such q pro-
gram of civilian benefits.
