Prompt Action Sought
On More u. ). Aid for
Needy Aged and Blind

chairman DOughton OF the House
Ways and Means Committee to-
day pressed for prompt congress
sional action to increase Federal
contributions for assistance to needy
aged and blind and make other re-
visions in the Social Security law.
An increase in the public assis-
tance program, which through the
Federal-State matching system
would enable the needy to obtain
$50 monthly relief compared with
a $40 maximum now, was approved
by the committee yesterday, by a
17-to-8 vote.
Other Proposed Revisions.
Other proposed revisions, pre-
viously agreed on by the committee,
would:
/. Raise the old-age and survivors
insurance tax January from ! per
cent to is per cent against en-
ployes' pay and employers payrolls.
Without congressional action the
tax would jump automatically to 25
pen cent on that date.
2. Extend the unemployment COM
penSation program to more than
100000 maritime workers.
3. Include all veterans families
under the survivor insurance pro-
visions for three years without cost.
4. Repeal Federal Treasury guar
antee of the solvency of the insur-
ance fund, written into the 1943
Revenue Act when Congress voted
against letting the tax increase in
wartime.
DOughton Optimistic.
Hope that the House and Senate
will approve the proposed revisions
before they adjourn for the summer
was expressed by Chairman Dough-
ton.
The committee bill would raise
from $40 to $50 month the amount
the Federal Government may put
up to be matched by the States for
aid to the needy aged and blind.
For dependent children. under
the committee proposal, the first
child in family would be able to
get a maximum, under Federal
State participation, of $27 monthly,
compared with a present $18 maxi
mum, and each other child could
get up to $l8, compared with the
present $12 top.
Matching for these purposes now
Is on straight $3.50 State Federal
basis, but the committee wrote in a
variable formula whereby the Gov
ernment will provide up to 50 for
each State dollar in States with low
per capita income
Would Cost S500,OO0 900.
IT Congress approves the commit
tee recommendations, the Federal
cost of the public assistance program
Will be Increased from a present
S400,000,000 annually to above $780,
100000. Now receiving public as
slstance are approximately 2,05O,OO0
aged, 66Q000 dependent children and
$1,000 bind.
Under the variable contribution
arrangement, which would become
effective October l, the Government
would continue to participate on a
$3.50 basis in those States where per
capita income is above the national
average. These include the District
of Columbia, Connecticut, Nevada,
California, Delaware, New York
Washington, Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illi-
nois, oregon, Ohio, Michigan, Penn
Sylvania, Indiana and Montana.

Tireoutput Cut Deeply

Boston, June 21-(UP)-American motorists will receive 100000 fewer tires this Summer than scheduled, but Europe's starving people will receive extra shipments of bread as result of the transfer of wheat sup plies, an executive of the General Tire 6 Rubber Co. has revealed.
 Vice-president L. A. Mcqueen said large quantities of wheat or4 iginally earrDarked for the manufac- ture of synthetic rubber had been redirected to the United Nations Relief Rehabilitation Administra- tiDn.
 Mcqueen told some 1000 New England tire distributors at their first postwar conference last night that "to make more bread we are making less tires" He added that 'eash tire contains enough wheat to make almost 12 loaves of bread"
 Despite the showdown, Mcqueen said that the industry would pro- duce more than 60,OOO, 900 passenger car tires this year, far more than ever turned out in single year.
