ECURITY SOCIAL Now that Congress has taken steps to freeze the social security payroll taxes at the existing level of one percent many are beginning to wonder if the old age benefit dream will not eventually de\'c]opl into another pension plan supported out of the public | treasury. What Congress has done is to put an end to the pay-before-you-go principle of the Federal old assistance plan as it was originated. In the beginning the plan was so designed so as siep up the tax rate from one to two and then to three percent Although the present rate of individual and em- ployer contributions now exceeds the drain upon the reserve fund, in a matter of a few years as more and TOPWEU KEEPS FINGERS CLEAN!

A foretaste is the offer of the United States Maritime Commission to sell, now or in future, 4,755 obsolete or used Army assault boats at a top retail price of $75. The boats are not especially fancy. They aren't as big as the Queen Mary. They are, in fact, a sort of rowhoat, strongly built, weighing or displacing about one-thirtieth of a ton, and provided with outboard motors.

This business of beating swords into plowshares will not be too easy after this conflict. No house- keeper can have much use for a big gun, a medium lor heavy tank, a flame-thrower or an 8,000-pound |bomb. But some machines of war will have civilian uses. Consider the humble jeep. Consider, perhaps, a small type of landing eraft which may be able to | take Papa, Mama, the three children, Uncle John and Aunt Emma, with all that they need for a seashore vacation, and spit them out in a trice on some lovely, ‘pracucull) uninhabited beach. Perhaps even the South Sea Islands, scme of them, can be converted to peace- time use. Would any American fam like an atoll, a little LST to reach it with, a jeep to run around on it? These thoughts cannot be merry just now, The machines of war are grim and will have grim associa- tions for those who have to use them in war.

It is a day on which to seek rec- reation. Music many. Wise forgetfulness will found in intellectual pleasures. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In the business world this will be a dull day but fortunate for human rela- tions between employers and eg- ployees. accerding to the seers, will gain constantly under the planetary in- fluences of the new order. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Pension schemes of many sorts will be | widely advocated in the new year and will be enthusiastically dis- cussed by wage earners. The stars presage practical protection under new laws that enforce systematic savings. Social Security in the U. S. will be greatly expanded in scope. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: | United Nations will celebrate a de- battle that will mark the ys. It will have a greatly ac- celerating effect on the war in the Pacific. Japan continues under the most threatening aspects. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of some anxiety concerning possible finan- cial losses but coming months should be prosperous. Children born on this day préb- ably will be exceedingly popular They will be talented and energetic essful and generous.
