To expand greatly the scope of the law, thereby including 27,- 000,000 additional workers—mari- time labor, domestics, self-employ- ers, casual and part-time workers, employees of non-profit organiza- tions, such as foundations and churches, and farm laborers. With more than 40,000,000 already cov- ered by the act, these additions will bring the total up to around 70,- 000,000. 2. Increase the joint employer- ‘employee payroll tax from two to four percent the first year, with graduated raises thereafter. This| is counted on to act as a brake on inflation big-spending defense emergency and as a cushion against an eco-| nomic tailspin 3. Temporary disability afterwards. and permanent payments.

(Philadelphia Record) of Count Pulaski The Russians, we learn, are driving the Ger- | mans cuckoo by interfering .with their radio pro- paganda. It isn't just a matter of jamming their channels with static. The Russians are cutting in with sour | comments like “it’s a fairy tale” or “do you expect | people to believe that?”—and adding, at the end ofl German broadcasts: “Tomorrow the lies will continue.” 1t sounds like a good idea, but a lot of trouble, | and some poor Russian has to keep listening.
