The administration plan for q
vast expansion Of social security
has picked up strong support on
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. . spot survey showed To-
day.
As the committee started writ
ing q new bill after two months OF
hearings. . check Of members in
dicated that the measure they
have in mind would give President
Truman . large part-although
not all-of the broadened social
security program he proposed to
Congress.
1t may include q boost in old
age insurance benefits, with COW
erage extended to perhaps anothei
20. .000, 900 Americans. but 1t rrob-
ably will not call for any increase
in the present payroll tax. other
than the boost scheduled for jan
uary under the present Law.
Representative Kean. Repub-
lican. Of New Jersey. a commit
tee member, told a reporter he
expects considerable support
from Republicans" for broadening
the program. He said the Re-
publican platform called for So
cial security expansion. and
added:
II think we must agree TO per-
feet the program we have or
later run into something like the
Townsend pension plan"
Representative Mills. Democrat,
of Arkansas, another committee
member. proposed a new tax plan
to enable farm hands and house
hold workers to get old age and
survivors insurance coverage.
Mr.. Mills said he will suggest
that such workers get full cover
age by paying the tax as any
other employe-but without any
payment being required Of their
employer.
Moreover. Mr.. Mills said that
under his plan farm operators
would be fully covered by paying
the same tax rate that an en-
ploye in industry pays. Other
self-employed may be required to
anteup . slightly higher tax rate
because Of their status as both
employe and employer.
The poll of members indicated
the committee might produce
legislation about like this:
/. Old age and survivors in
surance would be available to
virtually all the 100000 en-
ployed persons not now covered,
possibly bringing the total num-
Der under the program to 50.000,-
900. Mr.. Truman asked for such
expansion to include farmers,
farm hands. household workers.
the self-employed and others not
now covered. Farm operators
might be given a choice between
getting in or staying out, with the
same option offer to employees Of
municipal and local governments.
2. Old age benefits would be
raised an average Of about so per
cent. Mr.. Truman has asked for
an increase Of almost 100 per cent.
No Sickness Insurance.
8. The administration proposal
for new temporary disability or
sickness insurance would be
turned down. But the bill the
committee approved may include
d new provision that person
totally and permanently disabled
would get the same benefits as
II he had reached 65 years Of age.

Having rolled losing streaks OF

That lead vanished in the second

AL Gettel was no help to the

Meanwhile Gray was having a

Wins a of 6 Games,

BY Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer

The biggest break the Boston
Red Sox got this season was when
Maurice (Call Me Lefty McDer-
mott swallowed his pride and con-
sented to return to the minors for
more seasoning.
Because of that decision. the
Red Sox today own the brightest
young pitching star in the Ameri-
can League.
Last April. when Manager Joe
Mccarthy farmed him out to
Louisville. the 20-year-old left
handler was so incensed that for
while he was ready to return to
his home in Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Il was so mad then" the young
ster was quoted as saying the
other day. that I was ready to
blow my top. guess, for once,
I had some good sense. I thought
it oyer and came to the conclu-
sion that Mccarthy was right"
Not long after McDermott set
an American Association record
by striking out 20 st. Paul players
in a single game. Lefty was re-
called by the Red Sox. That was
on June IL. Since then he's made
six starts and won four of them.
His two defeats were by 10 and
5-4 scores.
In Fifth Year as Pro.
The youngster, now in his fifth
professional season. although not
yet of voting age. pitched another
beauty last night as the Red Sox
chopped up the Chicago White
Sox, 11-2. In going the route for
the fifth straight time. the lanky
f1reballer allowed six hits, walked
six and struck out seven. In So
innings, he's allowed only 81 hits,
walked 80 and famed 80. Eight
is the most hits he's given up in a
game.
Lefty missed his second shutout
when he let up in the ninth and
permitted Cass Michaels to hit his
sixth homer. then walked in the
second run with the bases loaded.
Until the eighth, it was a tight
pitching duel between McDermott
and Chicago's Bob Kuzava. A
sixth-inning run had put the Red
Sox in front, 1y With Alex Carr
rasquel on tfesmound in the
eighth, the Red Box suddenly ex-
