INTERPRETIVE REPORT

money should be put up by the
Federal and State governments
and how much could they af-
ford? Would it require higher
levies on all taxpayers if the
money had to be appropriated
out of general tax revenues Of
the Federal treasury and the
individual States?
Should voluntary subscription
or enrolment fees in the pro-
gram be on a sliding scale Of
individual incomes or be the
same amount for all? Should
aged persons be allowed to join
the program only If their an
nual income did not exceed
$500?
Should it be financed largely,
if not entirely. out of the social
security trust fund which holds
the payroll tax payments by
employees, employers and many
self employed? Would the sug-
geSted increase of one-fourth
of one per cent each in the
present social security tax rate
on employees and employers be
enough to meet the health in
surance benefits that might cost
between SIG and 50 billion a
year? Would it be fair to levy
that tax on all workers, ir-
respective of age, to finance a
program that would benefit only
aged persons?
4 Plans Proposed
All of these questions are in
volved in the four major pro-
posed plans together with
numerous variations suggest
ed in recent weeks to the House
committee.
The plan sponsored by Rep
resentative Forand, Democrat
of Rhode Island, would operate
within the social-Security
framework and provide a spe-
cif1c period Of some hospital.
nursing home and surgical
services for persons IS and over
If they were otherwise eligible
for old-age and survivors in
surance benefits. 1t would not
cover approximately 4 million
aged persons not in social
security.
Voluntary Setup Offered
1t would be financed by in
creases of one-fourth of / per
cent each on approximately So
million employees and employ
ers and three-eighths Of l per
cent for self-employed persons
in the social security system. It
would cost between SIG and 81
billion annually N such tax
revenue.

promise measure before ad-
journment in July have i'm
proved if only because the Eli
senhower administration has
submitted a detailed alterna-
tive for the committee to ex-
anime.
That plan with its optional
features, limited income re-
quirements and Federal-State
subsidies" for a wide range of
medical care benefits for aged
persons has met q frosty recep-
ton in the committee and in
some States. The Forand bill
that would function within
the social security system with
restricted coverage and fewer
health services also is believed
likely to stay on the committee
shelf.
Leaders Optimistic
Yet, Speaker Rayburn, House
Democrat Leader Mccormack
Ways and Means Chairman
Mills, Democrat of Arkansas,
and other influential House
and Senate members indicate
increasing confidence that Con-
greSs will find a method-and
pass a bill-to help persons
65 and over meet a substantial
part Of the costs Of sickness.
The House committee will try
again soon to choose between
the two main forks in the road

gave no real clue to any f1nal
decision, it arranged to act one
way or another on a compro-
mise suggestion.

nal proposal and give States fal

Best News Yet

The most encouraging news
to come out on the American
economy so far in 1860 was re-
leased today in the form of an
authoritative survey disclosing
that American industry is now
off on a record program OF
spending for modernization of
its plants, research into new
products and making of the
new things. Plans are already
set to keep the spending at
a high level right through
1868.
In plain words, these dis
closures in the 18th annual
McGraw-Hill survey of bust
ness plans mean that:
l. American businessmen
have not cut back one penny
on their plans to spend on new
factories and equipment as a
result of the stock market de-
cline and the failure of the
economy to live up to the exub-
Grant f1rst-of-the-year fore
casts. The McGraw-Hill sur
vey was made in late March,
early April, when sentiment
was at a low point. In the
face of this. it shows spending
plans at the highest level re-
ported to date. ...
