SoIons Ask FDR
To Drop Program

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. CUP
Influential Democratic COMPRESSION
al leaders today are trying to per-
suade President Roosevelt to post
pone asking congress for new So
cial security program broad enough
to cover every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The fear that any proposal COM
parable to the British Beveridge
social security plan will precipitate
an unnecessary and dangerous
dispute in the new congress.
The group includes both senate
and house leaders and it is trying
to arrange an audience with the
President before he delivers his
state of the union me. sage, now
schedule for Thursday
None of the congressman is very
hopeful of convincing Mr.. Roose-
Welt that his message should be con-
fined to the war effort, but all were
said to believe that they should APP
peal for omission of any reference
TO a new social security plan.
UNTIMELY FIGHT
I'm very much afraid that the
inclusion Of social security revision
in the Presidents message will bring
on an untimely fight which will

upset the whole tempo of congress
sional action on war measures one
member of the group said.
Another said:
I sincerely hope the President is
not going to include social secur-
lty in his opening message to con-
gresS, but I'm afraid he is. He wants
a Beveridge social security plan
here and unless he changes his mind
he will ask for it
There has been little indication
of the sort of social security reyi-
slons the President is planning. But
it was considered almost certain
that he would seek to improve the
benefits of the present system and
extend coverage to millions of work
ers not now included.
The Beverage plan which recent
ly was presented to the British
house CT commons would provide
insurance for an individual from
the cradle to the grave. including
health. hospital, unemployment and
old age American social security
officials in a recent publication of
the American council on public af-
fairs cited the need for similar min
