The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-05-22
BY CHARLES r. BARRETT

WASHINGTON R-President Eli
senhower's program for bigger
and more liberal social security
system was almost ready today
for House consideration.
Members of the House Ways and
Means Committee predicted their
group would approve the legisla-
ton next week after a couple of
finishing touches. The committee
has been taking up the Eisenhower
program on an item-by-item basis.
Late yesterday, the committee
approved all of the Presidents re-.
quests for higher benefits and in
a few cases added some of its
own.
It also approved over the up
position Of most committee Re.
publicans-the Presidents plan to
raise from So, 900 to 81 200 the max.
imum annual income on which
benefits are based and taxes are
levied.
That left only two substantial
items still to be acted upon:
proposal to extend leverage to
farm laborers, and a plan to give
disabled workers full benefits.
The committee already mad ac-
cepted Eisenhower's request to ex-
tend social security coverase to
doctors, lawyers and other profes,
SIGNALS, to farm operators, minis.
tiers, state and local government
employees and various smaller
groups.
If the bill becomes law. the sys-
tenn, now covering some 20 mil
lion workers and paying benefits
to 6 million persons, would blank
almost the entire working force
of the nation.
The social security system pro
vides monthly payments to work
ers and their families on retire
ment or to their survivors. Both
workers and their employers pay
special taxes into trust fund
from which benefits are paid.
Although some parts of the pro.
gram are controversial little op-
position to the overall ;nll is ex.
pected in the House.
The new benefit structure would
boost the minimum monthly pay
ment for a single retired worker
from SIS to $50, and the maximum

Bond Sales For
County Amount
To $2S7,424

The sale Of Series e and H Saw.
lngs Bonds continues on the in
crease in Florida according to an
announcement today by J.. J. Ire
vor. Chairman Of the Treasury's
Volunteer Savings Bond Committee
for Monroe County.
Purchases in Monroe County
during April were Sill, 400 and for
the first four months of 1854 to.
tai $2s7, 42<.'' Sales for this period
In the state are now more than So
million ahead of the SAME months
last year and show a percentage
increase Of $l2.4 per cent, Mr.. Ire.
vor stated.
Florida has now reached 20 per
cent OF the years quota of SITS
million which is the volume the
Treasury has assigned our state to
be able to achieve the objective
nationally OF a billion more in "a.
Mr.. Trevor explained.
1854" Mr.. Trevor said "mark.
ed the heaviest year of War Bond
sales and ON January LIST there
more than $Sh billion Series =
bonds which had been bought dur
ing 1914 which would mature
sometime during the current wear,
It is gratifying that the owners of
more than IS per cent of these are
holding on to them and earning 3
per cent compound interest on the
value under the automa-
tic extension plan which Congress-
authorized. in 1851. It is the Urea
sury's policy in following sound
money practices to achieve new
sales volume at least equal to the
redemption Of matured as well as
unmatured E and H bonds. The
score so far shows the Treasury
ahead by <272 million"

The Veterans
Corner

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to three questions Of interest to for
mer servicemen and their fami-
lies:
@. My husband, a World War
One veteran who did not have any
CT life insurance, left me a $10,.
600 commercial life insurance po-
Icy when he died. He stipulated
in the policy that the proceeds be
paid to me in a lump sum, but !
was permitted to change that so
! would receive regular monthly
amounts. In computing my an.
nual income for VA pension pur-
poses, am I supposed to count
these monthly insurance Payments
as income?
A. So long as the original option
was for lump sum payment, you
must declare the SIC, 1000 face value
Of the policy as income for the
calendar year in which your hus.
band died. Then you do not have
to report the monthly payments as
income until they total $40, 900. At
ter the monthly payments aggre-
gate $40, 900, however, you must
report any monthly payments over
that amount as income for VA pen
sion purposes.
@. I am receiving disability COM
pensation payments from VA, but
lately my service-connected disa-
bility seems to be getting worse.
Could get statement from my
private physician, testifying that
my disability has increased? Would
that be sufficient to entitle me to
higher compensation?
A. A statement by your private
physician would serve to reopen
your case, but your condition
would have to be ascertained by
an official VA examination, and
then a comparison OF the findings
would have to be made with the
requirements for increased COM
pensation payments.
@. Since I was discharged before
August 20, 1852, my deadline for
starting training under the Korean
CT Bill is this coming August 20.
Must I actually be in school on
that date, in order to continue af-
forwards?
A. Not necessarily. You must,
under the law, begin your training
before that date, in order to con-
tinue later. So long as you start
in time, you won't be required to
be in training on the date itself.
VETERANS living in Key West who
wish further information about
their benefits should contact the
VA office at Room 104, Federal
Bldg.)

worker and his wife.
The new $4,000 base also would
increase taxes by SIP a year for
those making that much or more.
Insured workers survivors
would get similar increases, with
the monthly minimum for a fam
lily rising from $1S.75 to $30a nd
the maximum from $16S.75 to $500.
Eisenhower had proposed a fam
lily ceiling of $50, but the COM
mittee went $40 higher.
Benefits are based on average
monthly wages under the system.
