U. 5. Chamber lJrues
Universal CoyeraQe
OF Social Security

The United States Chamber Of
Commerce reiterated today its
support Of universal social se-
crrity coverage and operation Of
the system on q pay-as-you-go
basis.
In testimony prepared for the
Senate Finance Committee.
Chamber Spokesman A. d.
Marshall urged that q House,
passed bill to broaden social se-
curity coverage be revised still
further to provide dement's for
the eight million persons now In
eligible.
The Senate committee is hold
ing hearings on the House meas
ure, which would bring nearly 10
million more persons under So
cial security, increase benefits,
and broaden the salary base on
which social security taxes are
levied.
Short Of 1907 Coverage.
Mr.. Marshall applauded the
expanded coverage proposed, in
line with recommendations Of
the Eisenhower administration.
but he added:
Even with this change, the
bill still falls far short Of really
universal coverage; 9.7 million
more people viii pay taxes in
anticipation Of future benefits,
but 8 million aged still are de-
MED benefits"
The chamber position is that
tax coverage and future benefits
should be extended to all gain
fully employed persons and the
system operated on q pay-as-
you-go basis, preserving the
present trust fund Of some $lo
billion Is q reserve In the event
OF possible future recession.
Mr.. Marshall, an oflcial Of the
General Electric Co, Schemes.
tady. N. Y. and member of tho
chambers Board of Directors.
told the Senate committee the
administration formula for in.
creasing benefits discriminates
against low wage earners.
Example Of Benefits.
He said q beneficiary whose
average monthly wage is $3.50
would get q 10 per cent benefit
increase under the House bill.
while q person earning $3.50
monthly would get q 90 per cent
benefit hike.
He questioned also the ad-
ministration proposal, included
in the House bill, to raise from
$500 to $4,000 q year the
amo1nt Of earning on which
both workers and employers pay
social security taxes. currently
at a rate Of 2 per cent each.
I'm a public purpose program
providing a minimum layer of
protection against old age" he
said, primary consideration
should be given to the lower
earnings group-those with less
opportunity to plan for their
own retirement.
The $4,000 taxable base shifts
the primary consideration to
higher earnings groups in vio-
lation Of basic social security
principles"

M Did An The Work
AND HAD LOTS OF FUN
ByH.L HAMILTON, Yellowstone County

VVTHEN our two children, Bob
w and Doris, were ready for high
school we moved to Billings, coming
home week ends and summers. l
joined the Billings Homemakers Ex-
tension Club, and it was through the
lesson on remodeling that got the
"remodeling bug"
Here we learned to draw models
to scale and place small scale fur
niture and fixtures in place. We
learned what we did and did not
want from our various plans and
problems. The architects had a
school too, taking up construction of
the home from excavation through
decorating, in which I learned
great deal.
1t was not until high school was
over and we moved back to the ranch
that I sold my plan to the family
We were used to the modern con-
veniences from our living in the city
and the REA had started their line
to our place. Our main interest was
an electric kitchen and bathroom.
My kitchen-dining was a large
room on the north side of the house.
There was sink and pitcher pump
in one corner and the coal stove in
the opposite corner. The dining table

The most difficult jobs were the
kitchen cabinets, especially the re-
volving corner shelves. Bob, the car
penter, had started these, but was
called to the Army and it was up to
Dad to finish them.
Making the full length pull Grapes
was almost a winters job. Doris was
at Bozeman in her first position,
teaching junior high home eco
nomics. Dad and 1 were alone again
and decided we would make the
Grapes. I got the Extension bulletin
on Making Draperies" and the
clerk that I purchased the material
from gave me lot of information.
The Grapes have five widths of
material and are lined. Such a mess
of material to handle and line up to-
gether. We had two lengths of ply
wood stretched out in the kitchen,
the longest room in the house, and
it wasn't nearly enough. We had
terrible time getting the pleats to
come out with the rods, but they fl
nally did after many pinnings. But
we had the satisfaction of Job well

the Pryor creek and the chicken yard
and house 1t was always little too
dark to suit me.
Moved Walls. Added Rooms
We moved the partition from the
south side of the front door to the
north side of the door, using the old
kitchen for a bedroom and a bed
room for the living room and putting
large picture window in the south
wall. We built on a 10 by 22-foot
addition on the south side of the
house for the kitchen-dining room
which looks out on the Pryor noun
tains and highway. The two large
corner picture windows let in an
abundance of sun and light in both
the kitchen and dining area and the
living room. Some say too much sun,
but I love it.
The bath is close to both bedrooms.
The basin is built in a cabinet con-
tanning six drawers. There is also a
linen closet and towel storage space.
My family think have gone little
berserk over drawers and storage
space. Not having any to speak of in
the old floor plan, 1 guess I have,
but seem to find something to store

God grant that may never be
A scoffer at Eternity
AS long as every April brings
The sweet rebirth of growing things;
AS long as grass is green anew,
AS long as Aprips skies are blue,
I shall believe that God looks down
Upon His wide earth, cold and brown,
To bless its unborn mystery
Of leaf, and bud, and flower to be;
To smile on it from tender skies
How could think it otherwise?
Had 1 been dust for many year,
I still would know when Spring was near,
For the good earth that pillowed me
Would whisper Immortality
And l. in part, would rise and sing
Amid the grasses murmuring.
When looking on the mother sod,
Can hold doubt that this be God?
Or when a primrose smiles at me,
Can distrust Eternity?

in all of them and good deal of it
belongs to the family.
We were sending both Doris and
Bob to Montana State College so our
remodeling has been slow, spread
over the years as we had money and
time to spare, building during the
slack seasons. The whole family
helped with the various changes on
the plan, and there were many, and
with the actual building, plastering,
painting, shingling and all of the
other things. We did all of the
work ourselves, inside and out. There
are lots of flaws and mistakes, but
they aren't too bad-being our own
mistakes.
Should Have Built Basement
Considering the amount of re-
modelling and the cash spent and
what we have, if we had to do over
again, we would build a new build
ing with basement and coal stoker
for heat, being close to inexpensive
coal Anyone considering remodeling
should put good deal of thought
and figuring on this point, I think.

/ The Hollywood Ice Revue
moves into Uline Arena for a
six-day engagement April 6 and
some of those who saw the Ice
Capades there in January are
asking for comparison.
We saw the Ice Capades. We
liked it. We saw the Ice Revue
last week in Philadelphia. We
like that. too.
Ice shows have come a long
way since Sonia Henie used this
same Ice Revue as a bridge to
Hollywood in the mid-l930S. The
formal in all such shows is SINH
lar and the revue admittedly is
taking chance following a rival
production into Washington.
You see one, you've seen EN-
ALL" is the opinion expressed by
many, but we dispute that Per-
haps were influenced by what
we've seen on television and
movie screens. but we could en-
JOY both the revue and the Ice
Capades III the same week
Though the shows are similar,
there are differences that make
it impossible to rate one above
the other.
The revue has few things
going for 1t that its rivals do
not. Not least among these is a
real, honest to- goodness glamour
girl. In our opinion a glamour
girl should be young. pretty. SIM
gle and she should act like a
glamour girl. How does one act
like a glamour girl? Well. she
should drive a big convertible,
wear an expensive fur cape and
carry a toy, trimmed, purebred
dog.
Barbara Ann Scott meets all OF
these qualifications. Standing
outside the Philadelphia Arena
beside her sparkling, richly up
holstere6 convertible, the blond,
blue-eyed beauty smiled gra-
ciouSly as she handed out auto
graphs. There was no pushing
and showing. no boisterous clam
orings. The scene was like that Of
a queen holding court. Pierre, the
dog. watched from within the
car with interest and a little
impatience.
And women outnumbered the
children in thes group. Grown
men. OF course, have better
things to do than seek auto
graphs. But when one woman
admires another without envy.
that's the acid test for glamour.
