Social Security
Boost Backed
Administration Ks
Benefit Increase
BY ]. A. OTEARY

The administration today
threw its support behind a
self-supporting 2 per cent boost
in social security benefits, but
opposed a 1888 million increase
in the Federal share of State
public assistance payments.
The House has passed a bill
embodying both programs and
the Senate is expected to APP
prove 1t next week without
substantial change. Arthur s..
Flemming. new Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare,
revealed the administration
position as the first witness at
two days of public hearings by
the Senate Finance Committee.
Funds Bills to President
Both houses took a big step
toward adjournment yesterday
by sending to the President the
1896 billion Defense Appro-
priation bill and a SIG billion
authorization for military con-
struction at Army and Navy
bases.
The House also ratified the
compromise four-year extension
of the Reciprocal Trade Act,
and the Senate is slated to do
likewise today or Monday.
The Fins nce Committee
heard conflicting testimony
from business and labor on the
social security bill. e
George T. Fonda. speaking
for the National Association
Of Manufacturers, cautioned
against hasty adoption of what
he called unwarranted expan-
sion of social security. He said
the higher payroll taxes in the
bill would take another SIS
billion from employees and en-
ployers in the coming year.
AFL-CIO Gives Backing
But Mrs. Esther Peterson of
the AFL-CIO Endorsed the
House bill in its entirety. She
said it omits some needed i'm
provements. which her organi-
cation would advocate if time
permitted.
Mr.. Flemming testified that
the administration would have
preferred to await the report of
an advisory committee now
studying the social security
system for his department.
Nevertheless, he said, the So
cial security increases in the
pending bill are reasonable and
should be adopted.
Mr.. Fleming testified that the
Social Security increases are
not inflationary. because they
are amply covered by higher
taxes. But. he said. the in
creased appropriation for pub
lie assistance in the States
would be inflationary to the ex-
tent it adds to the Federal
deficit.
Tax Raise Questioned
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico. Questioned the
wisdom of raising the payroll
taxes to the level in the House
bill after officials testified that
under the new rates the old-age
reserve fund would amount to
$163 billion by the year 1000.
Under present rates the fund
would contain only $50 billion
by the year 1000.
Senator Anderson wanted to
know why those who will be
working during the next 40
years should have to pay in so
much more than will be neces-
sary to meet their own old age
benefits.
Social Security officials said

Special U.N. Session Today
Taking Up Mideast Crisis
u. toOffer
Long-Runge
Proposal

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Aug. 8 R.-The United Ma.
tons General Assembly begins
an emergency special session
on the Middle East late today.
The special Assembly session
was called by unanimous vote
Of the Security Council last
night on a compromise reso-
luton.
Informed sources said the
United States delegation was
working hard on a far-reach-
ing political-economic program
for the Middle East which 1t
plans to submit.
Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge declared the United
States wants the Assembly to
deal with broad and funda-
mental problems Of the Middle
East and 60 beyond mere stop
gap measures.
SObolev Challenged
Mr.. Lodge challenged Soviet
Ambassador Arkady A. Sobolev
to let the Russian people hear
the full Assembly debate.
I'VE ask you on a trial basis
for the duration Of this General
Assembly session to permit the
Soviet people and the peoples
Of Eastern Europe to hear all
sides Of the grave issues exer-
cising the world today" he said.
Mr.. Sobolev replied the Soviet
people were well informed on
world issues.
At this afternoons session
the Soviet Union was expected
to make its usual fruitlesS move
to seat Communist China in
place OF the Chinese Nationalist
delegate. And there was spec
ulation that some Latin-Ameri-
can delegation would move to
bar Hungary's Communist dele
gate because Of the execution
Of Imre Macy and other leaders
Of the Hungarian revolution.
Neither move was expected
to win Assembly approval, how
ever.
Organizing Session
After the formalities of the
first organizing session the del
egates we're to adjourn to pre-
pare for the debate. The
Assembly was expected to get
down to real business next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Most delegations have perma.
nent representatives already in
New York. They will attend the
opening. Others have repre-
sentative in Washington who
can arrive on short notice.
The resolution calling the
special Assembly session got
both the United States and So
Wet votes by avoiding specific
mention of Cd the original
United States charge of indi.
rect aggression by the United
Arab RepubIc in Lebanon and
~ the Soviet demand for i'm
mediate withdrawal of United
States forces from Lebanon and
British forces from Jordan.
But Mr.. Sobolev. after Drop

Chances for action on the
subsidy plan fizzled yesterday
when Representative league,

bill for the remainder Of the
congressional session.

the bill. Mr.. league said he re-
garded it too important to act

In Congress.
Wednesday the Senate Dis
trict Committee voted favorably
on the plan by which the city
would contribute to the transit
company the difference between
the present 71a-cent school fare
and the 20-cent adult fare.
Mr. Chalk expressed surprise
today at Mr.. leagues action.
I'VE had been counting on
the support of Congress for
everything we are entitled TO, ("
he said. I'VE are doing our
best to hold the line at the
present 20-cent fare.

However, next fall when we

filing a rate structure calling
for the ascent fare.
This would not have been
necessary if the subsidy had
been granted"
The company now has before
the Public Utilities Commission
a request to raise the school
fare to 10 cents and 10 drop
tokens and weekly permits on
adult fares. Mr.. Chalk has said
the request for the higher
school fare would be dropped If
the subsidy was granted.
He pointed out that, in addi-
ton to next falls wage in
creases, operators would receive
another raise next April costing
an additional $3.50, 900 annually.
