ant in the infantry during his
senior year at law school.

neutral commissioner who would
control the Saar under this ac-
cord.

his hope for a West European
arms pool when DR.. Adenauer's
economic minister, Lud dwig

yesterdays conference to modify
the French plan. What these
proposals contain was not Inn
mediately disclosed.
The joint French : German

pean nations meet in Paris.

The Complexion Of Committees
Democrats Need Good Record for 1856, and It'll Take
a Lot of Moneuverne to Get Around the Southerners

One Of the major problems
Of the Democratic Party in its
new saith Congress is to get on
the books enough social well
fare legislation ct least TO
match the progressive mod
crate" program asked by Pres
ident Eisenhower.
The party needs q good rec
ord for the 1856 presidential
election.
It faces some difficulty in
this respect because of the
management and domination
Of the party in Congress by the.
Southern wing. which Is pre-
dominantly conservative and
does not represent the far big
ger and more populous area
outside the South where elec-
tions. including that of 1856.
have to be won. This excess
sive Southern weighing is
more Of a handicap In the
House than in the Senate.
Part of the story, told in de-
tail here before, lies in the
fact that IL of the 10 House
committee chairmanships are
held by men from the old
South. with two from the
border States of Kentucky and
Missouri. and only five from
that great area beyond the
South. The Speaker also is
a Southerner. Representative
Sam Rayburn of Texas.
One committee in particular
always presents a special prob-
lem. This lis the Rules Commit
tee. Though supposed to be q
sort of traffic director to decide
in what order bills are consid-
cred by the House. and how
long and under what rules they
are to be debated, this author
ity has been stretched in the
past to embrace the power to
pigeonhole bills approved by
legislative committees and
keep them of the floor. A CO.
alition Of Republicans and
Southern conservative Demo-

tion. But 1t was q delaying fac
tor even earlier In the Roose-
velt New Deal.
For example, it took two
years to get past the House

wages and ceiling on work.
ing hours. That was in 1888.
That issue arises again now In
Mr.. Eisenllower's request to
increase the statutory mini
mum wage from rs to 80 cents
an hour. Southerners already
are questioning that, though
some Democrats outside the
South would boost the figure
above 80 cents.
The Rules Committee prob
lem looks like q ticklish one
in the new 84th Congress be-
cause the man who succeeded
to the Craftsmanship. Repre-
sentative Howard Smith Of
Virginia. has been a prime
mover in blockade Of social
welfare legislation in the past.
He is most Skillful at legis-
latiye maneuver.
A way was open to sur
round him with some re-
straints, however, in the i've
places on the committee to be
filled by Democrats with the
change in control of Congress.
The Democratic leadership,
headed up in Speaker Ray
! burn, who is familiar from long
experience with the Rules
Committee blockade, now has
filled those f1ve seats with
men whose leanings would in
dicate sufficient flexibility to
approve at least a moderate
social welfare program, though
this is by no means guaran-
teed.
There still Is a possibility Of
a successful Southern Demo-
crat- Republican coalition.
Four of the eight Democratic
members are Southerners as
the committee now stands.
They could conceiyably join
with three of the -four Re-
publican members of the COM
mittee on some issues. making
a majority, though Republican
members would be more
loath to buck their own Press
ident in the White House on

total wages exceed $4,000 you may
claim the excess tax as a credit ON
your income tax.
If you earn SIS in a year from one
employer and another SIS from sec
Ond employer, these wages would not
count toward your social security. But
If you earn $500 from one employer
and $3.50 from the other, both employ
ers will report your earnings for social
security and you will get credit for
the total. Whenever your pay from
any farm employer is less than than 500 in
a year, he should return to you any
amount he took out of your pay for
social security for that year.
If your earnings do count, be sure
you have a social security card and
that your employer copies your full
name and social security number di-
rectly from that card to his records.
He must show your correct name and
number on his report if you are to be
