Congress Developing Rough
Spots in Adjournment Plan

Washington, Nov. "a -AP-
Rough spots developed today to
clutter the Administration path
to a Dec 10 adjournment of Con-
gress.
There was trouble in both houses
for the planned "non-controversial
legislative agenda which the 18th
Congress hopes to get through be-
fore the final gavel.
The House Ways and Means
Committee gathered to consider
bringing out a bill to freeze for an
other year the Social Security pay
roll tax rate at one per cent each
on worker and employer. Such a
move is certain TO encounter strong
resistance although
a bloc OF Democrats and Republi-
cans in the House and Senate will
back a freeze.
Without such a bill the Social
Security tax will double with the
start of the new year Its increase
has been held off for years by legis-
lation preserving the one per cent
rate.

bers OF the Judiciary Committee
