would make unnecessary Congress to go through what appears to be annual process of deciding what next years tax rate is to be. By setting the schedule say, for three five year period, and by providing for periodic review, the situation would be much more satisfactory than at present."
 The life insurance experts come to con- cusions that will surprise laymen. One of these is their doubts the wisdom of merit rating Another is their conclusion that compulsory old age insur ance is not comparable to private insurance hence analogies based upon the latter, and advocating a full fund lack pertinence." All their recom- mendations however, for an extension of the Social Security system made subject to extremely important qualification:
 For the individuals of unregimented state to supply the necessary drive and to work together for economic progress it is essential to have effective system of rewards and incentives to make it worth their while economically at least to take risks and put forth efforts plan of Social Security, to be sound, should support not undermine, such system Reasonable controls must be maintained so that pay ments according presumptve need do not discourage people from contributing to the communitys output of goods and services
 ITO maintain proper incentives to work, Social Security benefits should be determined by the level of subsistence. In free country where people can work or not as they like the benefits of Social Security must be apprecably below what the individual ordinarily regards satisfactory standard of living for himself If Social Security benefits become accepted satisfactory standard of individual security through confusing their purpose with that of programs which involve individual responsibility and thrift the will to work will be weakened or destroyed"
 This qualification must be kept consistently in mind in all proposals to improve Social Security if we are to maintain the health of the whole economy upon which any Social Security system must depend

SOCIAL INSURANCE

Experts in the life business, because of their special experience, should have peculiarly valuable contribution to make to the study of Social Security report published recently presents the recommendations of committees representing the American Life Convention, the Life Insurance Asso- citation and the National Association of Life Under writers The committees endorse the principle of Social Security and recommend it's extension to mil lions of workers excluded but advise against changes which would impair the will to work the soundness of the national economy. Some recom- mendations of the committees
 Extension, wherever feasible, of the coverage of od-age and survivors insurance to all those gainfuy employed groups not covered, including agricul- tural and domestic workers, Government employees, railroad workers employees of non-profit organiza- tions and the sef-employed The chief obstacle to such extension in most cases is administrative diff ficulties; but the committees suggest ways in which some of these difficulties may be met.
 A review of the processes by which benefits and eligibility are determined suggested for example that present minimum benefits of S10 month might well be raised to S20 month Cor $50 for aged couple), subject to appropriate safeguards, with increase, however, in the present top limit of s85 month.
 re-examnation of the entire problem of fi- nancing old-age benefits The committees oppose proposals that Social Security taxes should be n- creased to combat imitation help finance the Social security taxaton they hold must be determined by the needs of Social Security only They recommend that committee of qualified persons be appointed by Congress to review the financial question fully: "A revised tax schedule should be developed which

FARM BLOC FUNCTIONS

Sometimes the Congressional Farm Bloc feels it's oats to such an extent that it demonstrates its power just for the fun of it. That was what happened when the House passed the Flanagan Reso- lution-which does nothing more than say that Congress considers a law it passed two years earlier still should be observed. This law is the Tydings Amendment to the Selective Service Act which pro- vides for the deferment of farm workers.
 The House spent several hours trying to decide whether it should pass the new resolution, even though everyone knew it would go through. Hard-hitting Congressmen like Ed Izac of California, Gene Morley and Ewing Thomson of Texas, pointed out that all the resolution did was remind the na- tion that 340,00O men from 18 to 25-the age group the army wants most for fighting-are being denied the Army
 Fl Paso'S Thomson declared his support for the TydingS Amend ment, but said he saw no reason to pass further legislation on the subject San Diego's Izac, wound ed and decorated Lieutenant Con- mander in the last war, came out against the Tydings Amendment.
 If the Army needs these men to win the battles that have yet to be won to win the war" Izac said, we should give the Army and the Navy those younger men
 If we turn this resolution down maybe the Senate will have back bone enough to throw out all legis- lation that interferes with the winning of the war" Izac con- tinued. "The 340,0O0 boys on the farm are no more precious to their fathers and mothers than are the other boys who have been taken away and are now serving in the Army and the Navy"
 After several hours of debate however, the House passed the resolution by a voice vote; but not before the author of the resolution

HOROSCOPE. E "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
THIIRSDAY. MARCH 8

THURSDAY, MARCH 8
 An adverse sign dominates. the early hours today but later benefic aspects are strong. Disturbing news from a war front is indicated.
 Heart And Home
 The close of the war will awaken in women an ambition for mental and spiritual development, it is foretold. Returning husbands and brothers will expect much of women, astrologers warn, because Service men have learned a great deal through suffering.
 Business Affairs
 The month should be favorable for the business world. The stars pre- sage for financial leaders clear fore sight and caution as they plan in- ternational banking relations.
 National Issues
 Pension problems will result in the scientific study of old age. The stars are read as indicating that wise provision will be mades for all who have passed life's meridian.
 International Affairs
 The seers foretell extreme punish ment for the Nazis wherever Russia has change to dictate how the defeated foe shall be treated. Diff ferences of opinion among the United Nations may be expected when it is time to mete justice and impose lasting illustration on ag- gressors. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune. It is well to be guarded in speech and in writing.
 Children born on this day probably will be intense in their emotions, keenly intelligent and generally lucky.

ARE SHELLFISH FARMERS EXEMPT?

COPS Carl Hinshaw of Cali fornia then proposed that pro- cessing, transportation, distribution and final sale to the public of farm crops be included. Clason came back to ask if dairying was in- cluded, after which Charles Clifford of the fishing town of Cotuit, Mass, came through with the prize ques- ton.
 How about shellfish farmers?" he asked.
 Nobody was ready to answer that enc, so Clifford continued. Some times you refer to those fellows as fishermen. Of course, I have to offer an amendment to include fishermen unless I get an admis- sion that they are included in that category as being essential to the war effort.
 When they Scrape the bottom, which is ground with a little water on top of the land, they try to make themselves fishermen because i, of that. They rake the bottoms for the founders. We have she'll fish farms, and I want that clari- fled"
 Clifford never did get an answer as to whether shellfish farms were included in the new Tydings Reso- lution. He continued to argue, how ever:
 "A farmer tills the land and he is an agriculturist,' Clifford con- tended, but because there is water over the land which the fisherman cultivates, he is not classified as an agriculturist. I claim he ought to be. He is often working on the land, even if it be a little under water. The fish that swim are like the poultry and the pigeons that fly over the farmers land :"
 Finally, just before the resolution was passed, one more attempt was made to extend the definition of agriculturist when an amendment was introduced by Robertson of Lexington, Virginia, to include coal miners among d eferred farmers. However, he was ruled out of order.

John Flanagan of Virginia, was called upon to define what he meant by an agricultural occupa- tion." republican Congressman Clason of Springfield, Mass, was afraid the words might be inter- preted as referring only to men growing or handling crops. Flan- nagan assured him it included also poultry farmers and livestock farmers.

 Now, however. it is relatively easy to get Jews out of German intern ment camps. The cost is about $20 a head. It is done via Switzerland, and already 1,200 have been taken out at cost of about Sl5, which goes into Nazi hands, plus S5 paid to intermediates.
