S0(lAL SECURITY LAW CHANCES ARE
 UNDER DISCUSSION
Huqh Wade Returns from Conferences Held in
 Washington, D. (.

Hugh J. Wade, Deputy Director of the Federal Security Agency, re- turned to Juneau Friday from a conference of Regional Directors of the Federal Security Agency held in Washington the last two weeks in January.
 The meeting was called for the purpose of securing the view point of the representatives in the field on the many bills introduced in Congress affecting the health, well fare and education of the nation.
 Of particular interest to residents of Alaska are a number of bills amending the Social Security Act. These provide for the extension of coverage of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance to the self-employed, to domestic and agricultural workers, and to employees of State and local governments, for larger benefit pay ments, and an increase in the tax rate to IF per cent of the first S4,8O0 individual earnings.
 An act providing for Federal aid to education is now before Congress and has a good chance of passing. This law would provide financial aid to States in the educational field based upon per capital wealth ano school attendance. However, consideration is being given to mak- ing Q lump sum available to Terri torres and Possessions without re- gard to the formula used in meas uring the amount to which a State is entitled.
 Tn the field of health many bills hsve been introduced or are being drafted to carry out the program | referred to as "The Nations Health
 A Ten Year Program" The plan is aimed at supplying additional manpower in the medical, dental, and nursing fields, increased hospit- al and health facilities, extensive research in all branches of medi- ciEs, and finally. a prepaid Govern ment insurance plan designed to provide medical services for all the people of the nation.
 Mir. Wade returned to Juneau via the Regional Office in San Fran cisco where he conferred with the representatives of the Federal Se- cirity Agency who are interested il the Federal and Territorial grant, maid programs now operating in Alaska.
