Social Security Fund

urged Congress to stop spending
social security funds to pay cur
rent operating expenses" OF other
Government functions.

dent Of q household goods distrib-

as-you-go plan on dement's with
an annual ceiling set by Congress.
Mr.. Evans testified before the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee. which Is studying President
Truman's proposals for . vast ex-
pansion Of the social security pro-
gram. 1t calls for an increase in
payroll taxes to finance 1t.
The social security program
launched by President Roosevelt
in the depression sos has built
up . trust fund backlog Of about
$40 200. 900 900 through taxes on
payrolls and paychecks.
However, the Government
spends the trust fund and sunsti-
tutes Government bonds or
"IOU's" for the money. Later 1t
redeems the bonds out Of tax
money.
Mr.. Evans said that under this
setup. "the only security for those
who are paying to insure old-age

merely have q mortgage on taxes

son formally has requested Police
Supt.. Robert j. Barrett to launch
q police search for Charles B.
Dawson, missing tenant Of q Con-

paid for but not occupied for two

man was notified that. unless the
administrations recommendations
were sent up by May 5 the COM

In . caustic two-paragraph
reply. President Truman declared
