United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Jan. 8.--(UP)-Con- gressional leaders proposed a super Investigating committee of the House and Senate today to tackle President Roosevelt's biggest domes- tic proposal - extension of social security to cover every American from the cradle to the grave"
 The super committee proposal was made by House Democratic leader John w. Mccormack of Mass acfusetts. Republicans quickly agreed that it was the only logical approach to the presidents demand that, this government "ca11 and must provide such assurances. {,
 One Republican-Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, R., Ill.-even wants such a committee to include on its staff representatives of economic and religious groups. .....
 "Since 1t now appears that Con- gress must pass on planning for the postwar era, believe that any such committee should admit outside groups as consultants and witnesses" he said.
 While the committee idea picked LID its initial strength in the House, the Senate awaited a social security program from Sen. Robert F. Wag- ner, D. N. Y, which would extepd benefit coverage to an additional 20,000,00O. ,,,..,,
 Wagner's proposal, which likely will provide the first test on social security legislation, would:
 i. Cover farmers, domestics, pub lie employees, self-employed persons and most other groups not now en- titled to benefits under the Soclal security law.
 2. Provide social security benefits for disabled workmen.
 3. Provide hospitalization benefits for all persons covered by social security laws. .
 4. Enlarge the public assistance

 Washington, Jan. lover the roll- ing hills of Arlington National Cem- etery--Valhalla of Americas soldier dead-the melancholy notes of Taps are heralding the arrival of new generation of warriors.
 Flag-draped caissons are bringing to the cemetery almost daily bodies of men who have died for their country in its latest struggle to re- main free.
 CLEAR MORE LAND
 Workmen are busy clearing away Ilnderbrush and landscaping unde- veloped sections of the 408-acre tract just across the Potomac river from Washington, but cemetery officials are worried. They fear the day may not be too far distant when Arling- ton will be filled unless more land is acquired.
 A bill to gain an additional 20 acres adjoining the cemetery failed of passage in the last Congress be- cause the House Military Affairs Committee thought the price de- manded-$500, ,000-was too high.
 Erection of the War Departments new Pentagon Building adjacent to the cemetery grounds sent land prices in the area sky-rocketing.
 Soldiers of the World War II army who are being buried in the ceme- tery now are men who died in this country either of wounds received abroad or of injuries and sickness in training camps.

 CIRAUD MEETING
Believes French Leader. ship Discussions Should
 Be Started at Ono e

London, Jan. 8 -(UP)- Gen. Iharles De Gaulle, Fighting French leader, has demanded an immedi- ate meeting with Gen. Honore Giraud, chief of the French politi- cal and military forces in Africa, reliable informants said today.
 Replying to a proposal by Giraud that the meeting be held late this month, De Gaulle, informants said, insisted that the discussions on French supreme leadership should Ee discussed at once in view of the urgent political problems involved.
 Fighting French quarters ex- pressed hope that Giraud would re- consider and advance the date for a meeting. -J
 The Fighting French national committee conferred with De Gaulle today and it was believed that pol icy be pursued when the meeting took place was considered.
 Fighting French quarters had little hope, apparently, that Giraud would agree to establish a unifying body in North Africa with De Gaulle as head.
 Some quarters in London saw signs of British American dis agreement over the future political reginae in Africa. Britain had tacitsy recognized De Gaulle as French leader after the collapse of France in l940 and there was con- siderable feeling here that De Gaulle was the proper choice to head North African government. The United States has not recog- nizea De Gaulle and has said that the French people should choose their leader.

BAY STATE ROADS
 DESERTED BY BAN

Boston, January 8. = (UP) - Massachusetts highways were virtu- ally deserted today although police enforcement of the OPA ban on pleasure driving had been postponed until nightfall.
 Most motorists relied on the already heavily : burdened public transportation systems and as, a result one parking lot owner re- ported only two cars were in his lot compared with the normal 200.
 State and city police will join the OPA inspectors tonight in checking up on pleasure driving. It was believed they would not stop moving automobiles, but would merely check up on automobiles parked near theaters, sports arenas, dance halls, roadhouses, and skating and skiing resorts.
 While the OPA has permission to seize ration books of violators, the police are authorized only to report the motorists name and other data to. ration boards for action.

 Proposed to Tackle Social Security Extension

 5. Federalize the unemployment compensation system, now under state administration.
 Wagner also plans to exceed the social security boards recommenda- tion by proposing maternity insur- ance for married women, as Sug- gested in the Beveridge plan pro- posed in Great Britain.
 McCormack's proposal indicated the tendency of leaders to go slowly on the social security phase of the presidents message, pending the disposition of more urgent war meas ures. Both Democrats and Republi- cans were impressed with the enorm- ity of the program envisaged the president, although 1t had been known that he might advocate a plan similar to the Beveridge Social Security plan.
 President Roosevelt presented his social security views to the new Congress yesterday in generalties explaining what he believes the third reedom-freedom from want--was, to the people at home antl at the front.
 "They do not want postwar America which suffers from under nourishment or slums-or the dole" he said. "They want no get-rich- quick era of bogus prosperity which will end for them in selling apples on street corner, as happened af- ter the bursting of the boom of 1929"
 The young men and women of America feel they have the right to work and know that their fathers d!d not gain that right after the last war, the president said.
 When you talk with our young men and women." he added, you will find that with the opportunity for employment they want assur- ance from the evils of all major economic hazardS-aSsurar1ce that will extend from the cradle to the grave. This great government can and must provide this assurance."'
 Congress, meanwhile, prepared to complete its organization today while awaiting the presidents budget message on Monday to learn what victory will cost. They also hope for some indication of the administra- tion's tax program for the remain der of the war.
 Committee ratios in the House were cleared up yesterday following Democratic caucus. The Republi- cans gained more representation on nearly all important committees eX- cept ways and means, where the division will remain IS Democrats to 10 Republicans.
