Date Must Be Decided

Date Must Be Decided
House and Senate conferees
will have to decide when the
u per cent increase in old-age
insurance will take effect. The
House voted for December and
the Senate for February. The
bill will increase Social Secur-
ity pay roll taxes by $1.1 bill
lion in 1859. The tax rate will
go up from 2.25 per cent to 2.5
per cent each on employers and
employees The bill also requires
that the Social Security tax be
collected on the first $4,000 of
annual earnings instead Of
$4,2 200 as at present.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon. offered a broad sub
Stitute for the entire commit
tee bill, which would have
increased Social Security bene-
fits Is per cent across the board
and established a new health
insurance program. His amend
ment was defeated on a voice
vote. Senator Douglas, Demo-
crat of Illinois, also was de-
feated on an amendment to
allow recipients Of public as
sistance in the States to earn
$40 a month without having it
counted against their relief
checks.
Senator Marlborough, Demo-
crat of Texas, led an unsuc-
cessful fight to raise the self
supporting social security bene-
fits by 10 per cent instead of
7 per cent. The vote against his
amendment was SO to 80.
Senator Kerr opposed the
Marlborough amendment on the
ground that it would increase
the possibility of a presidential
veto.
Senator Marlborough argued
that the higher taxes in the
House bill will build up a re-
serve fund more than adequate
to meet a 10 per cent increase.
But Senator Kerr said the
question of the actuarial sound
ness of the proposal would
make little difference to the
elderly if the amendment re-
suited in a veto.
He said he would rather go
back to Oklahoma with a sack
half full of groceries for the
beneficiaries than ito show
them an empty sack and tell
them it would have been full if
the bottom had not been shot
out of it by a veto"
Present Law Outlined
Under present law. social
security old-age benefits range
from a minimum of $50 a
month to a maximum of
S108 so, depending on the earn
ings of the individual in COW
cred employment. In the case
Of a married man, his wife also
is entitled to draw an amount
equal to so per cent of his bene-
fit, so that at the maximum
level the wife would draw an
other S54.25.
Under the bill as passed by
the House and reported to the
Senate, the minimum would go
up to S33 and the maximum to
SIG.
The Marlborough amendment
would have raised the mini
mum to SIS and the maximum
to SIG.
The Senate also defeated the
following amendments without
roll calls:

Speaker Rayburn and members
Of that branch have become
increasingly FESTIVE to wind UP

The House tomorrow plans
to bring up under suspension
of the rules, but with no sure
sign Of adoption, the Senate
approved Kennedy-Ives labor
regulation bill and the omnibus
housing measure.
Other major legislation al
ready passed in varying forms
by Senate and House is likely
to come out of conference COM
mittee. Some of the compro-
mise recommendations. how
ever. may provoke yet more
wrangling' on Senate and House
floors.
Still other bills, such as the
Federal education-s C e n ce
scholarship program requested
by President Eisenhower, are
yet to be sent to conference or
otherwise rescued from a state
of suspense, And the House
Rules Committee holds life and
death power over additional
important bills merely by not
meeting.

Icy Committee action. Senator
johnson had told his colleagues
that the only real obstacle to

reason why the Senate could
