Congress adjourned last night

federal workers had rough jour-
ney through Congress. AS late as
yesterday morning, it was ques-
tionable whether any plan would
be approved.
The House had voted Z per cent
pay boost for half a million post
al workers and the Senate favored
an average per cent hike for
both postal and other classified
federal employees. Neither house
approved an administration de-
mand that mail rates be raised to
offset part Of the revenue loss.
Though COP leaders threatened
presidential veto, the House
passed the Senate's plan to the
White House by voice vote, and
without debate.

security program passed both
houses virtually intact yesterday.

By JOE HALL

WASHINGTON Up Congress has
passed q bill liberalizing and ex-
tending the social security system
Just about as President Eisen-
hover wanted.
The measure aroused some pre-
adjournment political pickering,
but both House and Senate shouted
approval Of a compromise version
late yesterday and the bill-final
major legislation of the 83rd Con-
gresS-went to Eisenhower for his
expected signature.
II will increase present and fu-
ture benefits to retired persons and
survivors, boost taxes to finance
the higher payments and bring an
additional 10 million persons under
the 2O-year-old system.
This was one of the key bills in
the Eisenhower legislative program
and one from which the Republic
cans expect to reap q political
harvest.
Particularly is this true since the
increased payments to Ga million
persons now on the rolls viii go
out about the first of October,
when the fan campaign for control
Of Congress will be in full swing.
Democrats, however, insist the
voters will not forget that the
system originated under a Demo-
cratic administration and Congress
and that the Democratic party has
fought to expand it.
The bill viii extend social secu-
rity coyerage to nearly all working
people in america, whether they
are employed by others or are
self-employed.
The biggest new group brought
into the system comprises $500, 900
farmers and 100000 additional
farm hands.
Farm coverage aroused a last
minute controversy in the Senate
over the bill as finally worked up
by 4 Senate-House conference. The
senate had excluded farm opera
TORS. but House conferees stood
firm on this point and finally won
over TO their side the three Senate
Republican conferees.
Sen. George (D-Ga), senior DEM
ocratic conferee, was not happy
about the outcome. He shouted to
the Senate that social security was
intended to protec industrial work
ers and he like, but never the
seH-employed, such as farmers.
The chief administration argu-
ment for coverage of farmers and
their workers was that this seq
ment Of the population had been
seriously neglected in the past as
far as social security was con-
cerned.
Here are the main provisions in
the bill as it went to Eisenhower:
Benefits-Five million retired
nersons now on the rolls will get
| increases Of at least S. a month,
with an average boost of S.. New
average payments to these persons
will be about $57. One and one
half million survivors and depend
ants on the rolls viii get proper
donate increases. Persons retiring
IN the future win receive much
| larger increases by changes in all
benefit formulas. For instance,
maximum payment for an individ-
nal viii 60 UP from SIS to sos. so,
for q couple from $127.5O to
$162.75.
Taxes - Effective next Jan. 1,
the tax base win go up from s. 500
% $500. Thus an individual earn
ling 81, 100 or more a year and his
employer each win have to pay
SIP more in 1855. The tax rate 81
II per cent does not change until
I1s0o. Tia seIf-employed rate like.

mn Reports On
An1llsGL Census
OF Hospitals
lspsslaI . Ths cltizsnl

NEW YORK - H o "
many hospital beds are
needed in Key West? Are
present facilities adequate I?
How does the local situation
compare with that in the
rest of the country?
With people more hospital-con-
scious and the population increas-
ing in most parts Of the United
States more rapidly than many
cities can add to their hospital
installations, the problem is a
real one. The most recent light
on the subject is shed by the AM
erican Medical Association in its
annual census Of hospitals.
Averasa Per Person
In Key West, according to the
study, there are Is beds available,
equivalent to one for every 361
residents. This is less than the
average for the nation as a whole,
one bed per 20l people. The data
Is for registered general hos
pitfalls. Federal institutions are ex-
cluded.
Galley Memorial Hospital, the
survey shows, took care Of s12
patients in the past year. It's is
beds were in use s per cent Of
the time.
Monroe General Hospital, with
81 beds, took care OF 1897 patients
and had an average daily uusage
Of ~ per cent.
Importance Crews
Hospitals have been taking an
increasingly important part in
meeting the medical needs Of the
American people.
During 1858 more people sought
hospital treatment than in any
other year on record. A patient
was admitted every 1.6 seconds.
Nearly 40 million entered the re-
gistered hospitals in the year,
which was nearly three times as
many as 20 years ago.
Nowadays, nine out Of every
ten babies are born in hospitals,
as compared with four out Of ten
at that time. Hospital births last
year topped 5000, 900.
Favorable economic conditions
have made It possible for an In
creasing number Of people to avail
themselves Of hospital services.
