WHAT YOU'D PAY

WHAT YOU'D PAY
 But to get right down to lowest common denominator and see how all this program of broadened so- cial security would hit you as 8 tax payer, consider the figures:
 Under present law, covering some 50 million workers, the employer pays per cent of your wage and de- ducts per cent of your wage for Social Security benefits, principally old age retirement which you col- lect at age 65. This 1 per cent de- duction is applied to only the first $3000 of the wages. In other words, it costs you a maximum of $30 8 year.
 This present law calls for this rate to be doubled automatically, Jan. l, 1943. In other words, it would cost you up to $60 a year and cost your boss the same amount. The Senate Finance Committee has recommended that this increase be suspended for a year, however, so the amount you pay next year is still to be decided.
 But now comes the Eliot bill which proposes among other things that these payments on people now cov- cred be raised to 5 per cent for both you and your employer for 1943- 1945, then go to 5 Ia per cent for 1946-1948 and end up at 6 per cent thereafter. If this bill became law, 1t would cost you up to $15O next year, and it would cost your boss up to $50 year for each em- ploye.
 The Eliot bill would further broaden the Social Security struc- ture by taking in some. 30 million citizens not now covered. Included would be 11.5 million agricultural workers, 2.4 million domestic work CTS, 6.5 million employees of public government and non-profit agencies, 5.5 million self-employed workers like insurance salesmen and store keepers, and from 2 million to 4 mill lion people on relief work projects. These 30 million people would not all pay the per cent to 6 per cent rate, but varying rates of from 2 per cent to per cent.
 Not only that, but the Eliot bill would also extend Social Security benefits to the 4 million to 10 nil- lion men in the Army and Navy men (and women) who may have left jobs in which they were piling up Social Security benefits in civ- ilian life-wthout them or the Army or Navy having to make any pay ments.

curity base are now embodied in bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Thomas H. Eliot of Cambridge, Mass.
 Young MT. Eliot is serving his first term in Congress, but before that he was an assistant solicitor in the Department of Labor and general counsel of the Social Se- curity Board.
 Eliot,s bill is backed by both A. F. of L. and c. I. O. Further, the bill has the active backing of the Social Security Board. Off the rec ord, the White House is said to fa- vor something of this kind.
 Opponents of the Eliot proposals can be counted on to bring up the argument that right now, in the middle of costly war, is no time to go in for the fancy frills of social reform. Their program will be to freeze social legislation as is for the duration.

One of the feature roles In Elmer Rice's drama, Counselor at Law" opening next Tuesday evening at the Royale theater in New York city. will be played by a Water- burian, Caleb Gray, son of MT. and Mrs. Claude Gray of 2060 East Main street. Paul Muni heads the cast of 90 actors and actresses who have been in rehearsal for the past two weeks. The supporting cast, aside from Mir. Gray, includes such well. known names as Jean Hamilton, Jay Dellie, Philip Gordon and Norma Clere.
 Counselor ct Law" will be Mir. 0ray's initial Broadway engage ment, although he has participated in several minor productions. A graduate of Crosby high school in the class of 1899, MT. Gray studied dramatics under Miss Marie C.. Me- Donnell, and was particularly &C., tive in the school dramatic society. He later attended Post Junior Col- lege of Commerce and the Univers- ity of Connecticut, and this sum- mer took a three-month course at the highly. rated New Wayburn School of Dramatics in New York.
 So impressed were theater scouts with Mir Gray's evident ability at the Wayburn school that they im- mediately gave him the role in Counselor at Law" The play was rehearsed two years ago with John Barrymore in the leading role, but was cancelled because of contract difficulties.

Over the Top by New Years Is the Plea of Secretary Morgenthau

November 13 le42 As of today twenty-one million American workers investing eight per cent of their salary every pay day. in United States War Savings Bonds. This is very remarkable tribute to armed forces who are fighting this But this job is only two-thirds accomplished
 There are nine million additional American workers who not investing in War Bonds every pay day.
 This appeal is directed to two groups of Americans:
 First the ,twenty-ons million people who are investing eight per cent of their wages. Nc ask them to increase their investment to ten per cent or more.
 Second = the other nine million whom we ask to join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten per cent of their earnings. It is our earnest hope here at the Treasury Department that by New Ysar's Day thirty million Americans will be investing ten per cent of the1T wages in Var Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
