Wider Social Securiiy
Plea by President Due
To Meet Obstacles
BY the Associated Press

ny the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's Forthcoming
message urging an expanded social
security program faces fork in the
road the minute it reaches the
Senate.
On the one hand Senators Wag-
ner, Democrat, Of New York; Muir
ray. Democrat, of Montana and
other advocates of far-reaching
social reforms favor immediate
hearings and an expedited vote on
amendments which would broaden
the coverage of benefits.
On the other Senator Vanden-
berg. Republican, of Michigan is de-
termined to press for full study
by the Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation, which, under
resolution he introduced Saturday,
wouldn't have to report back to
Congress until October l.
Promising detailed recommends
ton later, the President said only
IN his message on the state Of the
Union:
An expanded social security pro-
gram and adequate health and edu-
cation programs must play essen
tial roles in program designed to
support individual productivity and
mass purchasing power"
Senator Wagner, who sponsored
the original law on the subject,
remarked that he always was al
great believer in studies-"if they
aren't for the purpose of delaying
things"
Senators Wagner and Murray in
troduced a measure last session to
expand social security coverage and
benefits greatly and provide med
ical assistance for covered persons.
1t never got beyond the Finance
Committee.
The New York Senator is con-
vinced. however, that the demand
for similar legislation is increasing
sharply and he will have his bill
ready for the Senate when the

A reorganization began to shape
up today for the Democratic party.
It's leaders have an eye on two de-
velopments-a split among their
own members in Congress and re-
ported lack of interest or overcon-
fidence among Democrats through
out the country.
House Majority Whip Ramspeck
told . reporter he Is deeply con-
cerned'' about problems facing the
party, and believes 1t must organize
intensiyely" to solve them.
He said he had scheduled a con-
ference with National Chairman
Robert E. Hannegan to discuss pos
sible action.
Mr.. Hannegan told newsmen Fri
day after a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt that plans for the
1916 congressional elections would
be mapped right after the presi-
Dental inaugural January 20.
Mr.. Ramspeck reported Mr.. Han
negan had written him he parti-
cularly wanted to discuss the Geor-
gian's suggested plan for organizing
the party on q dues-paying, county
unit bases.
Under this proposal the Demo-
Gratis would form educational
forums in each county and mem
bers would be asked-not compelled
to pay annual dues OF approx
mately IS.
Mr.. Ramspeck said he thinks this
plan mot only would finance the
party, but would develop q feeling
Of unity and interest among those
participating"
He is less concerned about the
split which developed last week
when 81 Southern Democrats teamed
up with Republicans to pass an adj
ministration-opposed measure re-
creating the Committee on Un-
American Activities.
He believes some Tightening up
Is needed, but said the issue "is not

pletely from the Atlantic
Asked if his visit to the East Coast
port was due to the possibility of a
robot bomb attack, the admiral re-
piled: Il can say yes,
Steps Taken to Thwart Attack.
He said he could not divulge the
steps which have been taOen to
thwart a buzz-bombing of New
York and said his statement re-
garding a possible attack was based
on his own experience with the
enemy.
Such an attack against New
York or Washington for political
purposes would naturally be well
coined by Mr.. Goebbels," he added.
Turning to the record of the At
lantic Fleet, Admiral Ingram said
the fleet had conveyed more than
1000 ships across the ocean and
mot one in 1000 of these ships has
been lost by enemy action, and not
one transport has been lost by en-
envy action in an Atlantic Fleet
convoy"
- In what he said was the first
statement concerning The Atlantic
Fleet since the Nation entered the
nwar, Admiral Ingram said there
were $4,000 officers and 400, LOCO
men in the group.
If it were not for the Atlantic
Fleet, it would not have been pos
sible to make landings in Africa,
