Strike HuIts
Cement POURING
On Jobs Here

A strike of 300 cement fin
ishers today halted the pouring
of cement for all major build
ing and construction projects
in the Metropolitan area.
The finishers, all members of
the Cement Masons' Local 891
of Washington, have been me-
gotiating with area contractors
over wage differences since
their two-year contract expired
April 80, a union spokesman
said.
The union pulled the men
off the job today.
The finishers, who make at
least $3.77 an hour, maintain
that they are entitled to a sat
isfactory raise"
A spokesman for the con-
tractors said a raise at this
time is not justified"
The strike affects only those
projects which have reached
the cement-pouring stages, the
union said
Included in some of the
major downtown projects are
the new Smithsonian Institu-
ton building, the Fourteenth
Street Bridge project, includ-
ing the new crossing over the

Welfare Secretary Ribicoff
recommended to the House
Ways and Means Committee to-
day that a social security tax
increase to finance health in
surance for the aged be levied
on the first $500 of annual
earnings instead of $4,000 as
previously suggested by Presi-
dent Kennedy.
At the start of two weeks of
hearings on the administra-
tion'S proposals for health
services for persons IS and
over, Mr.. Ribicoff defended
the social security approach as
the most responsible fiScally.
the most practical administra-
lively and the fairest way of
operating such a program.
In view of a House leader
ship decision to defer action
on the legislation until next
year, Mr.. Ribicoff contented
himself today with urging that
d bill be passed at least during
the present Congress. which
expires in January, 1868.
Cost Estimates Raised
The new element in the ad-
ministration's presentation was
Mr.. Ribicoff's upward revision
in estimates of the cost. The
program would include fl
nancing of hospital, nursing
home, diagnostic clinic and
home care for persons IS and
over who otherwise are covered
by social security or the Rail-
road Retirement Act.
Following Mr.. Kennedy S
health message to Congress last
February, the administration
bill introduced in the House by
Representative King, Demo-
crat of California, provided for
financing through the social
security system at an estimated
long-range cost of go per cent
of taxable payrolls.
This would have been met by
an increase of one-fourth of 1
per cent in the social security
tax on all employees and en-
ployers of every age in that
system. 1t also would have in
creased the self-employed per-

sons tax by three-eighths of l
per cent.
Those increases were to take
effect in 1868 on the first $4,000
of the taxpayers earnings in
the 1862 calendar year. The
present social security earnings
base is $4,000.
Mr.. Ribicoff told the House
committee today that the orig
inally proposed tax increases
would be adequate. He added,
however, that recent studies
by the social security admins
tration caused the administra-
ton to recommend now that
the tax be levied on the first
$500 of an employees annual
earnings.
American Medical AsSocia-
ton opposition to the bill was
not mentioned in Mr.. Ribicoff's
statement but quickly became
a topic of dispute when COM
mittee members questioned
him.
Curtis Defends ANA
Representative Curtis, Re
publican Of Missouri, said he
was distressed" not only that
Mr.. Ribicoff seemed so intent
on attacking the ANA but also
that the Health. Education and
Welfare Department had mis-
represented the ANA position.
Mr.. Ribicoft charged that the
ANA itself was guilty of mis-
representation. He accused the
organizations leaders of try

in the wake of the battle of

military advantage in defiance
of the United Nations cease fire
order.
The French Admiralty de-
clared TuniSian civilians were
evacuating Bizerte's ancient
Casbah to let troops and volun-
teers transform its narrow
streets and Stucco dwellings into
an armed bastion. Artillery en-
placed there could fire on
French ships traversing the
300-yard wide canal between
the Mediterranean and Lake
Bizerte.
Tunisia'S Information Min
istry said landing barges de-
barked French troops at Cap
Blanc, 5 miles north of Bizerte.
A Paris government Spokes-
man commented that the Cap
Blanc area lies within the
French perimeter established
during the Bizerte fighting and
than there may have been some
movement of men within the
perimeter.
Enlarging Perimeter
Travellers from Bizerte said
it appeared the French we're
enlarging their perimeter. High
ways in the Bizerte area are
controlled by French-manned

All Complaints
Against Agencies
Will Be Sifted
BY WILLIAM DUKE
Star Staff Writer

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee said
today he will appoint a five
man special subcommittee to
investigate complaints made
to Congress against District
officials and their handling
of laws.
The subcommittee will be in
structed to look into all types
of complaints against any de-
partment charged with the en-
forcement of laws passed by
Congress, he added.
Mr.. Mcmillan, a South
Carolina Democrat. said the
move was necessary because
the number of complaints I
have received recently is too
great to be checked out by one
man."
He made the announcement
at a time when District Ii
censing officials report they
have been under pressure from
Mr.. Mcmillan to grant a new
license to a used car dealer.
The dealer was denied a Ii
cense to do business in a crack
down of used car sales prac-
ticeS in 1859.
Calls Reports Distorted
Some of the papers have
called this pressure" Mr.. NC
MILAN said today. We'll, I
call it investigation. And no
matter what anybody says, as
long as 1 get complaints about
how laws are being admins
tered in the District, I will
continue to investigate"
He said reports of pressure
by him and his staff on behalf
of the dealer were distorted.
They give the impression,
he said, that we are only in
terested in this one dealer, Ross
Rosenberg. In fact we have a
folder full of complaints on the
handling of this used car dealer
license law. We made inquiries
into the Rosenberg case be-
cause this is the one that is
currently being appealed"
Mr.. Rosenberg has asked the
District Board of Appeals and
Review to overrule the Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspec-
tions. The board held two hear
ings last week at which former
customers of Mr.. Rosenberg
testified they suspected his old
firm, Ross Discount Motors. of
bilking them. The hearings
continued today with another
customer testifying about the
Rosenberg firm.
Correspondence Released
AS the hearing resumed at
noon, Frederick L. Haller,
chairman of the District APP
peals Board, released photo
static copies of correspondence
between Mr.. Mcmillan and
himself. Also released was a
copy of a telegram from an
auto dealer in Mr.. McMillan's
home State thanking the Con-
gresham for his attention to
the Rosenberg case.
In a letter to Mr.. Haller
dated June 80. Mr.. Mcmillan
said if Mr.. Rosenberg's new
firm, Star Motorsrs, Inc, "is
willing to abide by the present
law and regulations, I think
they should be given a license
and a trial"
In his answer, Mr.. Haller said
that Mr.. Rosenberg would re-
ceive "a fair and impartial
hearing, and every considera-
tion will be given to them"
The telegram was sent to Mr..
Mcmillan by j. c. Clanton, ST.,
