SOCi4.a SECURITY

Final action has been taken on
the far-reaching and very i'm
portant amendments to the social
security law. The new law will
bring about ten million more
persons under the social security
program, making a total of forty
five million workers and others
eventually eligible for social Sc
curity retirement.
The largest of the new groups
brought under the program is
five million self-employed people
mostly businessmen who pay So
cial security taxes on their en-
ployees but who themselves have
not been entitled to any social
security benefits.
Under the terms of the bill en-
ployees of religious, charitable
and certain other non-profit or
CARNATIONS will be covered if the
employer files a certificate that
the organization desires to have
the old age and survivors system
extended to its employees. When
the bill was first taken up in
the house last year l checked
with both Muskingum and Mari
eta colleges and was informed
that they expect to request in
clusion under the system,
Under the law all employees of
state and local governments are
excluded where such employees
are now covered by an existing
retirement system. / received
many letters from teachers, state,
county and city employees who
were afraid the new social secur-
| ity amendments might threaten
the retirement system under
which they were working. The
bill as finally passed gives them
complete and total protection.
When a person covered under
social Sc u r. ty retlreS, the
amount due him is determined.
When his wife reaches the age
of SIS, she will receive one-halt
the amount of her husbands pen
sion.
, The house approved the final
bill 371-1 and the senate passed
1T unanimously by a voice vote
The greatest Immediate benefit
of the new legislation will come
to three million people who have
already retired with social secur-
| ity payments. These three mil
lion people now receive an aver
age payment of $4,000 per month
Under the new law the average
will be $4,000 per month. Under
present plans these three million

of credit. Government has always
found it essential to control credit,
even in time of peace, because un-
restrained expansion of credit has
caused dangerous economic de-
pressions since the days of John
Law.
In my opinion, if the Govern
ment pays its way as it goes by
balancing its budget and does
not permit credit to expand,
there will be no increase in
prices. With a vigorous use of
credit control policies, most of
the recent price rise can be un-
done.
THE Controls Bill also contains
powers relating to the produc-
ton of materials for the Armed
Forces and the stimulation of in
creased production. There is no
dispute about the necessity of CIV
ing the Government every power
to get the necessary materials re-
quired by our Armed Forces in
Korea and elsewhere throughout
the world.
But general price and wage con-
troll powers over the economy are
a very different matter. They in
volve complete abandonment of
the free economic system under
which this country has been built
up. After a reasonable length of
time, they interfere seriously with
increases in production. They are
much harder on the small busi-
neSSman than on the large busi-
nessman. 1t seems clear to me that
they should not be adopted or even
authorized until the time has come
when they are absolutely necessary
to prevent a runaway imitation.
In my opinion, the appropria-
tions requested by President
Truman up to this time, which
propose a doubling of our ex-
penditures on military forces,
can be handled by increased
taxes and restraint of credit.
MOST people seem to think that
1 price control is an easy matter
and all the Government has to do

is to step in and order lower prices.
But this is a complete delusion.
We found in 1912 that we could not
begin selective price control un-
less we were willing to extend it
to practically every product pur-
chased by consumers. Then we
found that we could not fix prices
unless we were also willing to fix
wages.
All of this is an infinitely COM
plex operation, and there is no one
in the world who knows enough to
do it without serious mistakes.
There are nearly billion individ-
ual transactions a day, purchases
and wage payments. OPA control
undertakes to make regulation
applying to every one of these
transactions. This involves tre-
mendous detailed operation with
perhaps five hundred thousand
employees and volunteers before
the whole project is completed. II
has to be handled arbitrarily, be-
cause the orders issued have to be
effective Immediately if they are
to be effective at all, and so there
is no real appeal from injustice OF
inequality. During the World War
/ had case after case brought to
my attention where arbitrary rul-
ings ruined patriotic citizens.
The system tends to produce
tremendous shortages because if q
price is a little too low, it increases
demand and decreases supply
Under OPA, at different times
there was no butter, no meat, nc
canned goods, no sheets, no white
shirts, no shoes.
Above all in the United States,
we face the danger of COM
plete breakdown of controls.
While war continues, national
morale develops which makes it
possible to enforce controls. We
hope that the Korean war may
be brief. What we really face is
long period of preparation in
which there will be little inclina-
ton to sacrifice.

The seasons smartest outfits are
the old favorite-the two-piece
suit-as we'll as skirts, weskits
and jumpers. A smart companion
for these basic garments is a
wool jersey blouse in one of the
bright fall colors. Gold, kelly

welcome addition to any ward

You can look sweeter in a
sweater this Fall by matching
the color of your skirt to that of
your sweater. Clothing manufac-
turers are now using the same
dye for both garments to insure
a perfect match. Tops on every

are reasonably priced!
