5O96 Increase Is Seen
In Social Security Tax
By Compromise Plan
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A prediction that both branches
of Congress will vote to halt the
doubling of payroll taxes for old
age insurance, slated to take
effect January l, came yesterday
from Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee.
Senator George said he doubted
however, that Congress would over
ride if President Roosevelt vetoed q
bill freezing the rates at the present
level of l per cent on employer and
employe.
AS the House Ways and Means
Committee prepared to begin hear
ings on the subject at 10 am. to-
morrow, therefore, the odds appear
to favor an ultimate compromise on
half of the proposed increase, which
would make the tax IL per cent
each on employer and employe dur
ing 1945, instead of the per cent
rate that will become effective six
weeks hence unless Congress acts.
Sees Hope for Compromise.
Senator George, whose Finance
Committee would handle the subject
for the Senate after the House acts,
indicated he believes the compro-
mise has better chance of becom-
ing law than an outright freezing
Of the present rates.
"If the issue is pressed, I prob
ably will vote for the freeze" the
Georgian said, although I would
like to retain the contributory prin-
ciple on which we founded our social
security system by splitting the in
crease.
Senator George said he is "in-
clined to believe the Social Security
Board would recommend to the
President that compromise be
accepted"
Arthur j. Altmeyer, board chair
man, will be the first witness at
the House hearings tomorrow. The
hearings are expected to occupy
three days.
Jenkins Offering Bill Tomorrow.
Representative Jenkins, of Ohio,
a Republican on the Ways and
Means Committee, announced last
night he will introduce a bill in
the House tomorrow to freeze the
old-age tax rates at the present
per cent level indefinitely, on the
theory that the reserve is adequate
for the time being. The effect of
this bill would be to require Con-
gress to take affirmative action to
raise the rates when the condition
of the reserve requires it, instead of
having the taxes 60 up automatically
at stated periods, regardless of the
adequacy of the fund.
For three successive years Con-
gress has halted the increase from
to 2 per cent, but each time it has
acted for one year only.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Congressional supporters of a
constitutional amendment to give
the House a voice in making the
coming peace are counting on
the pressure of public opinion to
force Senate approval Of the pro-
posal.
A House Judiciary subcommittee
will meet at 10 am. tomorrow to
pass on final draft of the amend
ment, which would make future
treaties subject to ratification by a
simple majority vote in both
branches of Congress. Treaties now
must be ratified by a two-thirds
vote of the Senate alone
Representative Walter, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania, subcommittee
chairman, and Representative Ke-
fauver, Democrat, Of Tennessee,
expressed the belief yesterday the
resolution would be approved, and
canvass of other members of the
Judiciary Committee strengthened
belief that it would be overwhelm-
ingly reported to the House itself.
Bank on Public Pressure.
House supporters, while admitting
they face difficulties in the Senate
are banking on public pressure to
bring the Senate around. They say
that members of Congress who have
been home recently have been told
by many of their constituents that
they do not wish to have future
peace agreements and treaties
jeopardized by minority of the
Senate.
The House proponents feel that Il
the lower chamber sends the amend.
ment to the Senate by a large vote
the Senate will have to act or b.
subjected to a wide demand of the
people for action.
1t requires a two-thirds vote of the
House and Senate to submit con.
sttutional amendment to the States
for ratification. Democratic anC
Republican leaders agreed that more
than two-thirds majority could be
obtained in the House.
The fight will come in the Senate
A high-ranking member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
said yesterday he does not believe
the Senate Judiciary Committee will
report out such a resolution and he
was certain that a two-thirds ap-
proval could not be obtained.
Several Proposals Made.
Several proposals have been made
in Congress for amending the Con-
stitution as it relates to the rati-
f1cation of treaties. One of them
leaves ratification in the hands o1
the Senate exclusively, but calls fol

well, Mr.. Hoffman said: s"Some of
the happiest days of Dicks short

to our son. We may believe that
in spirit, at least, he will be taking
part in the bull sessions around
the old tree"
Their two daughters, Rosemary
and Peggy, are graduates of George
town Visitation Convent, a short
distance from the college campus.
Last June, when they came here to
attend Peggy's graduation, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoffman called on Father Law

maple, located near the entrance
to the Healy Building, and told
them he hoped some day to make
some improvements around it for
the convenience of those taking part
in the daily bull sessions" They
recalled that their son, also, had
spoken to them about the "tradi-
tional meeting place" and of the
good times he had enjoyed there.
Later, they determined, 1t would

By NINA TEMPLE
Onion Beauty

There's lots Of beauty in an
onion. Eat them at night or even
in the day if you chew a coffee
bean to sweeten your breath,
The onion not only clears your
skin, but sweetens and rights
the stomach. There is no vege-
table more powerful for the
furtherance of beauty. Spring
onions make a delightful salad,
they are not strong and are
great appetizers. The white on
ion is less strong than the red
as a garnish or eaten with salt.
The red onion is splendid when
Sugared and simmered down to
a syrup for colds.

vitamin content. Vegetables that
stand may lose some of this food

cooking them
Rules for Cooking Vegetables
Here are some rules that will

Vitamin and mineral content in
cooking and serving vegetables.
But first, remember to serve salads
of uncooked vegetables frequently.
Pare very thin or not at all;
prepare just before cooking or
serving; do not soak in water;
cook quickly, if boiled or steamed;
use as little water as possible; salt
water slightly; do not use soda, it
changes flavor; cook only until
tender; do not overlook. Serve
boiled or steamed vegetables with
melted butter or margarine, cream
sauce, cheese sauce or lemon juice.
Lemon Juice for Flavor
Lemon juice deserves special
mention here. Easy to add - just
cut halves or quarters and squeeze
- it often makes all the difference

the federal status OF equality
for colored people, the former
slaves-equality Of citizen

the denial Of presence and of

public patronage as the one
great way to brand colored
people as having been a slave

the scorn Of civil society.
