SOCIAL SECURITY LEVY
STAYS AT ONE PER CENT

An overwhelming majority IN senate
and house, by which congress decided to
freeze" the social security rate at one
per cent evidently convinced President
Roosevelt that veto would not stand
and so he signed the measure and it now
is law.
The house passed the "freeze" act by
a vote of 262 to 70 and the senate's mar
gin was AZ to 10. And while only &C OF
the 96 senators answered the roll call
and 334 of the 435 house members were
recorded, the proportion, it was known,
would hold on a total membership. 1t
was a bit too risky for the chief execu
tive to exercise his right of veto. Any
how he could include in his signing
statement identical words he would have
used in a veto message, and so all seems
even.
Now that congress emphatically again
has refused to let the original act auto
matically double the percentage of the
amount deducted from the incomes OF
those who come under its benefits, it
should 90 further and order and carry
out a complete investigation of the oper-
atons of the law thus far and begin to
map new program entirely for this
phase of security.
The President complained at congress
for interfering with the intended opera
tions of the act He announced that he
plans to submit soon "a comprehensive
plan for broadening and improving the
social security system" After twelve
years, this announcement only emphasiz-
es the refusal or the inability of the new
deal administration to give honest con-
sideration to a matter in which the en-
tire population, ia one way or another
directly is affected.
1t is too bad the President did not in
clude in his remarks an explanation OF
the way the administration has handled
the security funds. and why these funds
are not invested in income securities in
stead of having been spent as fast as ac-
cumulated on running governmental eX-
penses.
The administration had figured on the
increased rate yielding and additional
81 100000 ,000 which is a tidy sum for
Mr. Morgenthau to have coming in as
pocket money" for any and all occa-
Sions.
The accumulated surplus from the
years the socialist security program has
been in effect now is represented in
IOU's issued by the secretary of the treas
ury as he taps the till and then calls for
loans at interest to pay the current calls
by security clients.

Under Ci Act

In some instances where assist
ance cannot be legally given, the
quasi-official community bodies such
as the Oregon veterans commission.
can apply political pressure.
CASE IN OREGON
Such was the case with the vet
eran who bought a car in oregon
for S999 but found it wouldn't run
because the dealer hadn't adequately
prepared it. When he offered it
back to the dealer the dealer would
pay him only $699-ihe ceiling
price. The Oregon commission in
tervened, and the dealer quickly
bought the car back at the sale
price.
To such commissions come knotty
problems such as the American who
volunteered in the British ambu-
lance corps, contracted malaria in
Burma and was discharged.
He wanted disqualification, but
was not permitted in any army hos
pital because he was not an Ameri-
can veteran. His case was referred
to the Oregon veterans commission,
where executive secretary William
Gaaremstroom wrote the British
embassy who got in touch with the
U. S. sugeon general with the re-
suit that the man can enter any
nearest army hospital.

GOOD SHEPHERDS

They did more than praise the Lord
and pass the life belts, those courageous
chaplains on the torpedoed transport

No more inspiring word picture has
come out of this war than that of the
four brave "men of God'-Protestant,
Catholic and Jew-who having given out
all the life jackets and encouraged the
soldiers to go overheard without fear,
finally surrendered their own belts to
those without, and stood arm in arm IN
prayer as their sinking ship took its final
plunge.
The army has just conferred it's Dis
tinguished Service Cross post-humously
on the chaplains. But they must long
since have received their real reward.

If the undertaking proceeds as

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l8. CUP)
The hundreds of governmental
quasi-official and private agencies
administering the veterans pro-
grams in the three west coast states
and Nevada can provide thousands
of dollars in benefits to any one G1
and help him fit back into normal
civilian life easily and quickly.
But there are also problems which
they cannot legally touch, or for
which there are no appropriations.
The discharged CTS often ask the
veterans administration for new eye
glasses. dental service and prenatal
care for their wives, according to
c. o. Carlstcn, acting contact officer
of the veterans administration in
San Francisco.
CAN'T BE GIVEN
The veterans administration is
sorry" but it can't give out
patient" service to discharged vet
erans. who were used to having
similar treatments free of charge
in the service. They can't, that is,
unless the disability the veteran
wants treated was service-incurred.
Veterans administration dentists,
for instance, will fix ex-servlce-
mems teeth if the man contracted
stomach ulcers while in service, and
keeping his teeth in repair seems a
coed means of mitigating further
stomach complications.
Nor can the veterans administra-
ton provide transportation home
regardless of how broke the veteran
and how big the heart OF the ad-
ministration. 1t can't even lend him
money. However, it can issue him
a half-fare ticket sometimes, and
refer him to the Red Cross for
further aid.
II should be understood, further
more, that the veterans adminiStra-
tion home loans division Is not a
loan bureau" where the ex-service-
man can borrow money at low rates,
The honorably discharged young
ster, who wore the Purple Heart
for action on Guadalcanal, and who
made the down-payment on $1,000
Cadillac in Seattle, then asked the
home loan division for his money
so I can pay up on that car" was
badly misinformed. The home loans
division merely guarantees amounts
I'D to $4,000 that a bank loans the
serviceman on home.

SOUND ADVICE AS WELL
AS FAIR ATTITUDE

Recently in a discussion of public af-
fairs and the manner Of handling the
peoples business by officials elected for
that purpose, businessman uttered a
bit of advice which should be we'll taken
by all who are wont to criticize without
knowing exactly how the machinery
works.
Said he: Before we set ourselves up
as critics and before we conclude that
things are not being run right, we should
interest ourselves enough to drop in on
city council meetings and sessions OF
other boards engaged in conducting the
business Of the taxpayers" And then,
to bolster his remarks he concluded that
not a single person in the assembly to
which this businessman was directing his
remarks, had looked on a council meet
ing in years. >,
Granted that the average city council
meeting is not dressed up as a source OF
entertainment for the public; that most
such sessions are dry and drab as far as
spending a pleasant hour or So goes.
Nevertheless, this piece of advice is quite
pat and to the point.
There can be helpful criticism as well
as criticism that is warranted. In large

Cheese production in the United
States reached a total last year of
BAG, 1000, 900 pounds, an increase of
7O,000,0 900 pounds over the pre-
vious year. A factor in the in
crease is the fact that importation
Of cheese from Europe has been
cut, because of the war, to 1I10th
pre-war levels. Secretary Wick
ard got a rise out Of the Dairy
Associations of the country when
he urged Americans to eat less
cheese that more might be shipped
to England. The cheese industry of
Wisconsin, which spends million
dollars year to increase consump-
ton in the United States; OBJ
jected through the states congress
men to Secretary Wickard's plea
stating that if the government
would subsidize the dairy industry
as it had other defense industries
it could make enough cheese to
supply both the United States and
Great Britain. The present per
capita consumption of cheese in
the United States is about six
pounds. The per capita consump-
ton in Britain is about nine
pounds, in Switzerland III, and
Holland 14.7.
