NEW TAXES PROPOSED,
 PATROLS
Would Finance Expanded Social Security Program
 May Be Six Per Cent
By FRANCIS M. LIE MAY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17-lR- The Administration was reported reliably today as about ready to ask Congress for almost $8,000 000, 900 in payroll taxes next year to finance vastly expanded Social Security pro- gram that would include Govern ment payment of doctor bills.
 This would be more than double the $3,250000,0O now collected an- nually for the present limited cov- craze old age and survivors insur- ance and for unemployment com pensation.
 Now President Truman is propos- ing health and disability insurance, and expansion and liberalization ot present old age benefits and unem- ployment compensations.
 The administration is expected to ask for a six per cent social se- curity tax-probably 3 per cent to be collected from that part of an employed persons pay up to S4,800 (this would make the maximum pay envelope tax $l44 against a present top of $3O), and probably a similar 3 per cent from his boss payroll.
 Later, when the health insurance program gets in full swing the tax will become higher-a determina- tion has not been made, but maybe around per cent each against en- ployee and employer

The Senate, with Senate Memor- ial No under consideration, spent its morning session today in powwow over the legality of the special session of the Legislature. and was to resume the discussion lat ? D. m.
 The Memorial, authored by Sen- ators Jones and Munz of Nome. seeks notification by Congress of any laws enacted during the special session.
 Senator Anita Garnick presented lengthy written brief in support of the contention that the special session is illegal. Tn answer to question by Senator Rivers. Senator Garnick said that the opinion was secured for her by MT White" who got it from local attorney" !, The brief cites sections of the l Organic Act relating to elections land the terms of legislators and ar. Il gues that under the provisions of the Act the terms of legislators commences on the fourth Monday of January in odd d-numbered years Attorney General Ralph Rivers was called to the stand and took an opposite view of the matter. The term of office, he reiterated, com mences when the election is certi- fiSd by the Canvassing Board. while the tenure of office com mences on the fourth Monday of January when the legislators are sworn in and take their seats.
 Brief Is Challenged
 The Attorney General challeng- ed the brief presented by Senator Garnick on that it ignores all court decisions on the question and does not cite a single decision to uphold the opinion rendered.
 Attorney General Rivers said that he can cite decisions from the courts of seven states to uphold his opinion that the session is legal and that he had found no contrary decisions.
 Democracy operates currently and by the people who are cur fently elected, rather than by those who have been repudiated at the polls" the Attorney General stated.
 The full terms of members of the Eighteenth Legislature expired before January 6, l949. and there fore they have no right to sit in the present session, Rivers told the Senators.
 Term and Tenure
 The discussion, with Attorney General Rivers on the stand and being questioned by the senators, became largely one of semantics- the difference between the mean ings of term and tenure" and whether again means once more" or anew" as 1t is generally used. or whether it has a special ill law z
 Senator Jones cited the section Of the Organic Act which states that the Legislature shall not con- tinue in session longer than 60 days in any two years unless again convened in extraordinary session" He asserted that this means that again" means that an extraordinary session cannot De called until after Legislature has once been in session.
 You are arguing from the stand point of logic the Attorney Gen. eral told him, and legal language is not a matter of logic but of law. Again in law means at some other time"
 Senator Jones appeared uncon- vinced Again means that some thing has heen done and that you are doing it once more.' he assert ed

Automatic cooking is the mod
ern way, you no longer have to
stand over your range and watch
your foods cook; there is no need
for peeking into your oven; with
an automatic range you find new
leisure, fuel savings, better tasting
foods, less shrinkage, and you are
insured of foods which still con-
tain our much needed vitamins
and minerals.
Though we are now provided
with all of these conveniences, q
complete understanding of the au-
tomato r n is necessary to
achieve correct cooking processes,
get uniform cooking results. and
to save considerable time.
In baking. let US remember to
pick the size and depth of pans
with care. Too deep pans prevent
browning. Use light colored pans
for baking to insure even Drown
ing. Arrange pans 10 they neither
touch each other nor the oven
walls.
1t Is an economy OF time and
fuel to bake more than one dish
at a time II the same oven temper
AZURE is suitable for both. Most
important of all Is to set the oven
heat control for the exact temper
ature needed. Preheat the oven
and then you may depend on an
automatically controlled even beat
In your oven.
Roasting in the automatic range
is perfectly achieved by q constant
low temperature. Meat shrinkage
Is minimized, guess work is elm
mated, and the food values m
preserved. Place roast In shallow
pan, fat side up. No basting IL nee
essary. and the constant low tenn
perature Is used throughout the
entire roasting period.
For surface cookery. select
utensils that have close fitting
covers and use these covers. Only
a small amount of water is needed
II you simply begin your foods on
high and when high steam is
reached, reduce to simmering.
Avoid raising cover during the
cooking process.
