Decision on BOOSTING
Social Security Tax
Urged by Vandenberq
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan asked Con-
gress today to decide whether to
postpone for a third straight
year increased payroll levies on
employers and employees under
the Social Security Act.
Congress voted last year and the
year before to postpone an increase
in the levy to per cent. Each post
ponement was at Senator Vanden-
berg's insistence.
Unless third postponement is
voted, the increased levies auto
matically go into effect January l.
Asserting he was keeping an
open mind" on the subject, Senator
Vandenberg told the Senate, II
think it should be fully canvassed
by both the Senate Finance Com
mittee and the House Ways and
NACoAAo COiHleCLlOn
with other tax decisions which are
to be made this fall"
Senator Vandenberg, member of
the Senate Finance Committee,
made public a letter from DR..
Arthur J. Altmeyer, chairman of the
Social Security Board, asserting it
would be "unwise to defer the in
crease in the contribution rates"
DR.. Altmeyer reported that total
receipts from social security taxes
for old-age benefits in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1913, were $1,130,-
000, 900, while the total draft upon
the fund for payment of benefits
and administrative expenses was
100000. The reserve on June
30. l943, was 4,268, ,0O0, 900.
While saying this would appear to
be ample, Senator Vandenberg added
that THE tremendous and unantici-
pated expansion of employment and
resultant soci&l security coverage"
because of the war now injects some
new and highly speculative actuarial
calculations for the future"
In view of the situation, Senator
Vandenberg said he did not want
the responsibility for third recon-
mendation in opposition to Social
Security Board recommendations.

In addition, the 164th Division,
which had been flown from Crete
to North Africa is believed to
have joined Rommel's forces.
The military situation in that

In the meantime, a light column

say. They insist that the general
public is more interested in
winning the war-and that many
of the voters do not take kindly
to this intersection of national
politics into the picture whole
year in advance of the first pri-
mary election for delegates to
the 1914 Democratic National
Convention.
James A. Farley, Democratic
State chairman of New York, the
astute political leader who laid
the ground work for the first
presidential nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt in 1892, is looked to as
the probable organizer of an
anti fourth term movement
among the Democrats. Mr.. Far
ley is saying nothing at this
time-but saving wood. That he
is in communication with Demo-
Gratis in many States goes with
out saying. His only public state
ment in regard to the 1914
presidential nomina ton so far
has been that 1t is too early to
start such a campaign, and that
the country should give its at
tention to the prosecution of the
war.
Mr.. Farley not only had a
great deal to do with building
the Democratic organization in
New York State during the first
eight years of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. but also with build
ing the party's national organi-
zation. AS in New York, his

self might make a big dent in the
delegate membership of the ma
tional convention next year If he
should enter the lists for dele
gates in his own right.
He is making no announcement,
however, Of his plans at this time.
If he determines to seek Farley
delegates to the national con-
vention, he will not make any
open move for some time to come.
In the first place, no one knows
what the Presidents attitude is
toward fourth term. 1t may
very we'll be that the President
does not know himself. The war,
as we'll as the domestic situation,
as it exists a year from now may
have a compelling influence on
his decision to be or not to be
a candidate.
In 1910 Mr.. Farley. as well as
former Vice President John N.
Garner of Texas, Senator Wheeler
of Montana and several other
prominent delegates had delegates
instructed" for them in num-
Der of States. Mr.. Roosevelt
maintained complete silence
regarding his plans up until the
time of the national convention.
That being the case, and no one
knowing absolutely that the
