GRANT OF POWER T0 PRESIDENT HIT Walsh Says Only Emergency lustifies Course—Wagner Bill Control Fought. A protest against extending further extraordinary powers to the President, except in emergency legislation, was woiced by Senator David 1. Walsh of Massachusetts yesterday afternoon at & dinner meeting attended by mem- bers of Congress and Government ex- perts, held at the Cosmos Club under auspices of the Independent Legis- lative Bureau. The meeting was held for non-par- tisan discussion of the old-age pen- sion provisions of the Wagner bill and Senator Walsh's protest arose over the clause placing in the hands of President Roosevelt the power of de- ciding the executive organization which will administer the act. F. E. R. A. Control Criticized. It is provided that it shall first be administered by the F. E. R. A. This was criticized as conveying the im- pression that the recipient of a Fed- eral old-age pension is an object of charity. It is also provided that the President may set up an organization to take over the administration of the act, or designate some already existing bureau or department, at will. “It is unsound,” said Senator ‘Walsh, “to allow the President to put this under anybody he pleases. It is not emergency legislation. Let us put up a permanent structure, not a makeshift to be shifted from one department to another on a whim. “I don't think anybody on Capitol Hill is willing to extend to the Pres- ident any more power, except in case of an emergency. In an emergency we should extend power liberally, but we should be critical about the emer- gency.” Eliott Explains Bill. The provisions of the Wagner bill as to old-age pensions were explained by Thomas Eliot, assistant to Secre- tary of Labor Perkins and a member c: the committee of experts that drew up the social security report upon which the bill was based. There are three provisions, he ex- plained, to meet the various classes of need. First is that designed to help the 800,000 now over 65—the Federal Government meeting State appropriations to the extent of $15 per person. Second is the provision for old-age annuities to be financed by a universal tax on pay rolls of 1 per cent, one-half to be paid by the em- ployer and half by the employe. But this fund must be built up for five years before the Government will be in a position to pay the annuities. Third is the sale of voluntary annui- ties by some such system as the war savings stamp method. Mr. Eliot was insistent that aside from the first provision the old-age pension system set up under the bill ‘will be self-supporting. BAN ON TROOPS ASKED BY SOUTHERN LABOR By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., January 19.— Submission of a resolution concemn- ing the use of troops in labor contro- versies and an address by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins are sched- uled for the Southern Labor Confer- ence here tomorrow. Miss Perkins also will address the ‘Tennessee Legislature Monday, when she is expected to discuss the pro- posed child labor amendment. Gov. McAlister has urged ratification of the amendment, but action on his recommendation has been delayed pending Miss Perkins’ address Will E. Cheek, secretary of the Tennessee Federation of Labor, said reslutions ‘“relative to labor condi- tions in the South” will be intro- duced before the conference.

PLANNED Wagner Will Re-Introduce Local Measure—Others Being Studied. As House and Senate commitiees prepared to begin hearings this week on the Nation-wide social security program, Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York announced yesterday he will reintroduce soon the District of Columbia unemployment reserve plan he presented in the last Congress. With a District old-age pension bill already pending in the Senate District Committee, Senator Wagner’s announcement means that while Congress is working out details of the program for Federal aid to social security, it also will be considering separate measures that would enable the District to come within the terms of the Federal assistance. Senator Wagner, with Representative Lewis, Democrat, of Maryland, is sponsoring the administration’s national plan. The Wagner unemployment reserve plan for the District was first intro- duced by the New Yorker in June, 1933, but never considered nor made the subject of hearings. It died with the ending of the seventy-third Congress last Summer. More Important Now. Reintroduced at this time, how- ever, the bill would assume more im- portance, since the pending national plan contemplates a Federal tax on pay rolls, designed to induce the States and the District to enact com- pulsory unemployment insurance laws. The national bill would allow em- ployers to credit against the Federal pay roll tax, up to 90 per cent, what- ever they contribute to an unemploy- ment insurance fund under local law. States which enact their own unem- ployment insurance laws then would be eligible to share in the distribution of Federal subsidies to help administer these State plans, provide the local Jaw measures up to the standards con- tained in the proposed national se- curity law, For the next fiscal year it is proposed to distribute $4,900,000 in Federal subsidies for this purpose, and for each succeeding fiscal year $49.,000,000. Since Wagner's local unemployment reserve plan was originally drafted more than a year prior to the newly proposed Federal program, it probably will be studied to see whether it har- monizes with the conditions in the na- tional legislation. Indications are that the District committees will wait until it is known what the final form of the national law is to be before seeking action on local bills, either on old-age pensions or unemployment insurance. Reserve Fund Proposed. ‘The District unemployment reserve plan, as introduced in the last Con- gress, placed administration of the law under the Secretary of Labor, and contemplated the setting up of an unemployment reserve fund by having each employer contribute 3 per cent of the pay roll of those workers for whom he would be liable to pay bene- fits. The definition of an employe in the bill excluded those receiving $2,000 or more a year employed at other than manual labor. Under the proposed national bill, these local contributions could be credited against the Federal pay roll tax. While the national bill contem- plates a 3 per cent pay roll tax begin- ning in 1938, it also provides that between January 1, 1936, and January 1, 1938, this tax shall be reduced to 1 per cent until the Federal Reserve Board index of total industrial produc- tion reaches over 84 per cent of the 1923-25 level, and reduced to 2 per cent until that index reaches 95 per cent of such level, A feature of the local Wagner bill, as it stood in the last Congress, was a provision allowing the Secretary of Labor to exempt from contribution to the Government reserve fund, any employer or group of employers who submitted a plan for unempjoyment benefits for their workers at least equal to the conditions laid down for those administered through the fund. Senator Wagner indicated yester- day he believed that in the District unemployment reserve plan this fea- ture could be worked out to conform to the national plan. The reserve fund would be used to pay benefits to workers when unem- ployment continues beyond a waiting period of three weeks.. There are va- rious limitations, including a limit on the number of weeks of benefit pay- ments an employe could receive in one year. Reduction Provision. The bill also contains provisions under which the employer’s contribu- tion would be reduced to 1 per cent of the pay roll whenever his account amounts to between $65 and $100 of reserve per employe. Whenever the employer’s account amounted to $100 of reserve per employe, no contribu- tions would be required to the fund during such period. ‘The pending old-age pension bill for the District is being sponsored jointly by Senators Copeland of New York and Capper of Kansas, and is in the same form as approved by both House and Senate committees last year. It leaves the exact amount of the pensions to be fixed by the Commis- sloners, or an agency to be designated by them, but in no instance could an allowance exceed $35 per month. It has been unofficially estimated the average pension under the local bill probably would be $20. Under the administration’s national plan, the Federal Government would match lo- cal old-age pension payments, up to a maximum of $15. If the District gave a $15 pension, for instance, the total, with the Federal aid, would be $30, and any payment above that would come entirely from local funds. When the question was up for con- sideration last year it was estimat conservatively, that the District old- age pension appropriation for the first year would be about $250,000. This was based on 1,000 persons being granted pensions. A revised estimate RAGE | Probably will be obtained, however, before the bill is enacted. Savings in Other Items. It has been pointed out by friends of the legislation, however, that there - | would be a number of savings in other items to be considered in determining the net cost of the old-age pension plan. It is believed that some of the Trecipients of old age pensions would be taken off of relief rolls, and that the population of the District Home for the Aged, at Blue Plains, would be reduced, with a resulting reduction in maintenance costs. Future capital investments for enlargement of Blue Plains also would be avoided, it was pointed out. The national bill also contemplates Federal aid to the States for care of crippled children and for maternal and % |child health work. District officials have made known in the last few days that they will study closely all phases of the national security plan, as it progresses through Congressional Com- mittees, and be prepared to suggest appropriate local measures, A THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Robert E. Lee in Statuary Hall of the Capitol. tion of the 128th anniversary of the Confederate leader’s birth. DEMOCRATS ADOPT RIGID GAG TO PUT RELIEF THROUGH (Continued From First Page.) American Medical Association and the secretary of the American Association of Social Workers. Administration leaders in both houses are prepared to speed consid- eration of the bill. The President has urged that the legislation be dis- posed of as promptly as possible, since the co-operation of the States is re- quired to put the system of old-age pensions and of unemployment insur- ance into effect. The Lesislatures of 44 States are to meet this Winter and will be in a position to take action as soon as the Pederal Government has its national law on the statute ‘books. Despite increasing sentiment in Con- gress to liberalize the bill, particularly as it deals with old-age pensions, administration leaders last night ex- pressed confidence they would be able to hold the measure within the limits proposed by the President. Speaker Byrns of the House said he believed the President’s program would be strictly followed. Senator Harrison, who will have charge of the bill in the Senate, expressed the same opinion. Heavy Cost Is Cited. ‘These leaders are warning members that the administration bill already provides for considerable appropria- tions—$98,500,000 for the fiscal year 1936 and $218,500,000 for succeeding years and if these are increased the President is likely to demand some provision be made for raising the addi- tional money through new taxation. Nevertheless, the demand that the Federal Government make gfeater provision for old-age pensions con- tinues. Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the first to criticize the limit of Federal contribution for old-age pen- sions—$15 a month—said yesterday an amendment would be offered when the bill reaches the Senate to raise this amount to $30 or $40 a month. He takes the position, too, that many of the States will not be in position financially to contribute much, if anything, to old-age pensions. For that reason, the Federal contribution may, in his opinion, be all that is available for a time. If that is the case, then efforts may be made to amend the bill so that the States will not be compelled to match dollar for dollar with the Federal Government, at least temporarily. The members of both Houses are being swamped with letters indorsing the Townsend old-age pension plan, which originated in California. Dr. F. L. Townsend, originator of the plan, is here. It is expected he will request & hearing before the House and Senate committees during the consideration of the bill. Senator Harrison said that undoubtedly Dr. Townsend would be heard if he made such a request. It is confidently predicted that the | Townsend plan, which calls for a $200-a-month pension to every per- son 60 years of age or over, will not be adopted. Administration leaders, including the President and Miss Perkins, have turned their backs on the plan. It would entail a vast ex- penditure each year, reaching $20,- 000,000,000 or more. Miss Perkins has declared it unsocial as well as un- workable. The Townsend plan is in legislative form in a bill offered in the House by Representative Mc- Groaty of California. McGroaty in- sists the bill will have mang support- ers and that he is confident he can obtain 218 signatures to a petition to discharge the committee from its con- sideration and bring it before the House. The House rules have recently House membership mustasign such a petition instead of 145, the old rule. The change was made in order to htad off votes in the House on bills con- sidered undesirable. Letters in support of the Townsend bill are coming from every section. New England Senators and Repre- sentatives are receiving literally thou- sands of indorsements of the Town- send plan. So are members from Western States. The two proposals that threaten to override the President’s budget pro- posals and increase appropriations heavily are increased old-age pensions and the cash payment of the soldiers’ bonus. Both these measures will be handled by the Ways and‘ Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate. It is conceded that the bonus bill prob- ably will pass both House and Senate. The question is whether this measure, which would call for an outlay of about $2,200,000,000, can be passed over a presidential veto. The Presi- dent has indicated that he will dis- approve such a measure. ‘Two-Thirds Vote Doubted. A careful poll of the Senate is in process on the bonus bill.

FURTHER MARKET Unlisted Securities Legisla- tion Considered by Ex- change Commission. By the Assoclated Press. The Securities and Exchange Com- mission is considering asking Con- gress for additional authority to con- trol over-the-counter markets hand- ling about $26,000,000,000 worth of security business annually. 1 This was disclosed yesterday in tes- timony Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy gave the Senate Appropriations Com- | mittee in asking for more funds for | the commission’s stock exchange regulatory activities. The present law, Kennedy said, was inadequate to handle the over-the- counter business, in which securities are sold directly to investors without | going through exchanges. The chief objective of new legisla- tion or rules would be to subject over- the-counter transactions to regulation by the commission on an even basis | with registered exchanges. | The commission has been studying | this problem for some time and still | hopes to take some steps without ad- ditional legislation. Already moving to enlist the co-operation of the In- vestment Bankers' Association in | registering securit, dealers through- out the country, it also is seriously contemplating requiring some sort of | registration or licensing of these dealers. Due to the unorganized state of the | over-the-counter markets they have | recelved little public attention. Mem- | bers of the commission said that steps to stop swindling of investors are | more important in this field than on regular exchanges. Regular exchanges | enforce rules of their own, and the public nature of exchange transac- tions enables closer examination. | The over-the-counter market may | involve merely a dealer and a buyer. | The dealer offers a security to an in- vestor, and the security, generally | value. The investor may be without knowledge as to his purchase. Commission members claim, how- ever, over-the-counter markets serve a legitimate purpose; that they are essential to investors wishing to buy unlisted securities and to trade in se- unlisted, has no known open market | * A3 AUTOMOBILE SHOW ATTENDANCE 40,000 Total Is 17,000 More Than That at 1934 Display, Officials Say at Closing.
