SOCIAL SECURITY FOR
 SERVANTS

President Truman's program to extend Federal old-age insurance to an additional 2O,OO0,000 persons will not slide through the Ways and Means Committee as easily as did the bill to extend reciprocal agreements.
 Although Chairman "Muley Bob" 'Dcughton of North Carolina agreed to introduce the administration bills on Social Security, he explicitly did so only "as the basis for consider ation and discussion"
 When current hearings have heen completed, the committee will then sit down in executive session to write it's own bill, which will prob- ably hear little resemblance to the Truman proposals.
 For example, the President in- cludes million farmers, 35 million hired hands, and 2.5 million cooks, maids and other household servants in the 2O,000,C00 total to be covered. Yet members of Congress from ru- ral areas, among them Speaker Sam Rayburn. are convinced that farmers are opposed to Social Se- curity And the prospect of a re- hsllion from an army of irate housewives, compelled to pay and collect employment taxes on their hired help, makes even the Con- gressmen from the cities shudder ( bit.
 Actually, compliance with the simplified plans for collecting So- cial Security taxes from farmers and housewives would be relatively easy, but the coutry doesn't think so.

CIVIL RIGHTS FOR
 HOUSING

-witted Sen. Ralph Flanders, Vermont Republican, has introduc- ed a new term-"horse shedding"- into the dignitied process of law making.
 During a closed door huddle over the housing bill, Flanders suggested that they get down to morse she'd ding" This, he explained, is New England term for gathering in the horse shed when a controversy gets deadlocked. and doing some horse trading on both sides.
 The Democratic Senators snapped up Flanders suggestion and spent the rest of the afternoon horse shedding" By give and take, they patched together strong housing hill acceptable to the majority of both Democrats and Republicans. The only holdouts were the never say-budge friends of the real-estate lobby, Republican Sen. Harry Cain of Washington and John Bricker of Ohio.
 At one point, Bricker warned he would try to amend the housing bill on the Senate floor to require a ncnsegregation policy wherever pub- lie housing is built. Bricker didn't say so, but it was quite obvious he had in mind wrecking the housing program by arousing a northern battle over civil rights.
 All of which caused one Demo- cratic Senator to whisper: Gain and Bricker want to eliminate dis crimination all right-by giving no- body homes"

Dewey's "HOuse Divided" Speech
(St. Louis Star Timesl

(St Louis Star-Tlmes)
 At his Lincoln Day dinner speech Thomas E.. Dewey joked that his defeat in November saved him from double housing crisis. That may be so But it didn't him of his habit of double-talk once again he promised to make speech that he didn't make again he specific in generalities.
 And so many times during the campaign Dewey reaped the disadvantages of both extreme wings of the Republican Party without harvesting the advantages of either. He embraced the main objectves of the Democratic Party without telling persuasive terms how his program different, and thereby he sounded like the 'metoo" Republican whom he castigated And yet he criticized the Democratic program in terms at the time vague and vehement that he sounded like the Republican reactionary whom he also castigated. In between these two extremes lay the place for his program, but he spelled it out.
 In important respect MT. Dewey's Lincoln Day speech different from his campaign speeches. This time instead of praising unity that didn't exist recognized disunity that does exist Dewey is both the beneficiary and the victim of that disunity Be- cause of it he was nominated two times for the presi dency Because of it he lost what looked like sure thing last November.
 MT. Deweys joke about housing was this: He said if he had been elected President he would have had no White House to live in and one or two Demo- double housing program. He doesn't have the Blair House to live in neither does he have united Re- publican Party
 He and his fellow partymen live in house di- vided against itself The first step toward the healing of split personality undoubtedly is to recognize the split exists and this at least and last Mir Dewey did But for the ntegration of the Republican per- sonality we suspect the services of penetrating analysis than MT Cewey will be required

a time when the Army at first refused to budge.
 What happened was that on Jan- uary 12, Paul L. Fickenger, region al director of the Indian Service at Billings, Mont, telephoned Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, Army District Engineer at Omaha, asking the Ar my for assistance. General Pick, one of the highest officers in the Engineers Corps and already nomi- mated as Chief oi Engineers, refus- ed to budge.
 He said he was most sympathetic with any plan to help snowbound people and cattle, but he had no authority to act. ALSO, he said he had no funds allocated for this purpose.
 Meanwhile, tie bureau of Land Management also lacked funds or authority. Without waiting for word from Washington, however, it's officials proceeded to spend money anyway. Figuring that Washington would reimburse them later, they worked round the clock with no figuring in of overtime.
 Taking a chance that Washing ton later would pay the bill they contracted for snow-removal equip ment, etc, which were not author ized. Later, the money came through. But it was the so-called civilian bureaucrats who had the courage to act when the Army hesi- tated.

OLD AGE BENEFITS

On the other hand, increasing So- cial Security benefits will definitely be approved However Congress will throw out the benefit payments for both sickness of short duration Cup to 26 weeks and for extended dis ability. Too many people, the Con- gressmen think, would get sick on purpose.
 In addition, old-age retirement for women will probably be re- duced from 65 to 50 and bene- ficiary will be allowed to earn up 10 $50 (now Sl5) per month without losing the right to his government pension check.
