UNIFIED SECURITY BILL IS DEMANDED Break-Up of Program Draws Miss Perkins’ Fire—At- tack Gaining. By the Associated Press. Determined opposition to bloakmm the administration’s social security program up into piecemeal legislation | was voiced today by Secretary of Labor Perkins. A demand for “full and open” de- bate on the Townsend old-age pen- sion plan came. meanwhile, from Sen- ator Borah. Without indorsing the ‘Townsend plan, the Idaho Republic- an said in a statement that its wide- spread support entitled it to open consideration rather than being pig- eon-holed. Borah is a_critic of the aid pro- | posed by the Roosevelt administration | for the aged needy. He has called | for liberalization of the measure. Miss Perkins made her second ap- pearance before the horse-shoe hench of the House Ways and Means Com- mittee, testifying in behalf of the com- bination old-age pension, unemploy- ment insurance and health-benefit bill, Protests Break-ups. Asked by Representative Republican, of Ohio if the could not be divided so that feature could be started at Miss Perkins protested: “But that would take care of only | asvery small part of our total eco- | nomic security problem Jenkins pressed to know if adoption | of only one feature would meet ap- proval of those who drafted the plan, “No, sir” Miss Perkins said em- rhatically, “to adopt old-age pensions | alone would not begin to give a rounded program of economic security. “If those who made the study had ! thought the program would be limited to that they would have advised a| much more drastic section, so that the aged could take care of the, younger members of the family, who, | under our plan, are also provided for. | “I should think to adopt old-age | pensions without the rest would be to leave a wide margin of economic se- curity uncared for when it is the very thing we know how to remedy Jenkins, ! program only one a time, Emphasizes Hazard. She emphasized that unemployment was the greatest eoonomic hazard of! those not handicapped and that any program should provide for that group. Across the snowy Capitol Plaza the Benate Finance Committee heard the same bill analyzed by Edwin E. Witte, director of President Roosevelt’s Eco- nomic Security Committee, Which | framed the plan. 1 Besides Borah, some other Senate | Republicans were preparing to open | fire on the Roosevelt plan. Senator Hastings, Republican, of laware | took a iead with a statement sug- | gesting the Wagner-Lewis bill as now | rafted might “fool” the country | I think in considering this legisla- | tion,” Hastings said in a statement inserted in the Congressional Record | by Senator McNary, Republican leader, “it is important that we should not fool ourselves or fool the country Figures Challenged. He said that while the administra- tion estimates there are 3,750,000 needy aged, and proposes to contribute $15 | a month to their support, the bill car- | ries only $125,000,000. | This, he said, would care for only, 694,444 of the aged, or if divided | among the 3,750,000, would provide each $33.33 a year. Senrator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, author of the pending bill readily conceded $125,000.000 would | not meet the situation. He said the| Government would increase its appro- priation as the States put up funds to| match. The measure, he said, showed | a rebirth of “idealism and love for| social justice.” Borah's assertion on the Townsend | plan, which proposes paying $200 a| month to all over 60, instead of the| DAILY TRIPS LOADS part loads to_and from Balto., Phila . and New Yo!

Treatment Study Urged. Committee members also asked the Commissioners to give further con- to various methods of treatment that were suggested. It the mm-‘ jg | mittee adopted a resolution asking| face examination in connection with | then Bardo answered ! asked was the understanding, however, that | if the Commissioners conclude to ad- here to their decision to build a primary sedimentation disposal plant,! they should proceed with the project. They are to return to the Senate Committee only in the event they modify their plans. Throughout the Senate discussions, | Engineer Commissioner Sultan adhered | firmly to his stand that the primary sedimentation plant favored by the Commissioners, to cost not more than $4,000,000, is all that Washington needs at present. Witnesses heard by the committee argued for several alternative methods | of chemical treatment. Col. Sultan told the committee the initial cost of the chemical-treatment plant would be approximately the same, but that annual operating cost would be raised | to whatever extent chemicals were purchased to increase the degree of | purification. Chemical Plan Held Best. The chemical treatment, it was said, would remove 90 per cent or more of the solids from the sewage before the water entered the river. While the primary sediment plant proposed by | the Commissioners would be limited to removal of 50 per cent, Col. Sultan | said the Public Health Service found | that would be sufficient for the pres- ent. He also argued that chemical treatment has not been in use else- where long enough to demonstrate its results and that Washington could later on add the chemical features to its proposed primary plant at com- paratively small cost. Aside from the question of which method of treatment should be used, members of the committee expressed a hope that the P. W. A. allotent to the District could be added to suffi- ciently protect Rock Creek from pollution at the same time the disposal plant is being put up, and this is one of the reasons the committee sug- gested further conferences with Mr. Ickes. Members of the committee who took part in the final discussion yesterday were Chairman King and Senators Capper of Kansas, Austin of Vermont, Copeland of New York, McCarran of Nevada, Bilbo of Mississippt and Gore of Oklahoma. [DEVITT ALUMN] PLAN ENTERTAINMENT SOON The Devitt Alumni Association held its third meeting of the year last night in the Devitt School. Temporary offi- cers were elected to carry out plans for a smoker or luncheon to be given in the near future. The alumni are making a drive to interest more graduates in the asso- ciation. Officers elected were Stanley Pear- son, president; John Brody, vice presi- dent; Dick Talley, secretary; Weston | Knox, treasurer, and William Keith, sergeant-at-arms. At a meeting when more members are present, a new slate of officers will be elected for definite terms. The next meetlnz is scheduled for Febru- W. F.

A dead silence greeted the request, “This is the first time I have been | to do this. I have no ap- prehensions as to testifying or as to | the evidence I will give. 1 ven Time for Study. He was granted 24 hours for study of the case before subjecting himself to_questioning The commiitee had contended col- lusion was indicated in a steady rise | in recent years in cost of cruiser units from $8.000.000 to $16.000,000. Meanwhile an assertion that the American Legion, “a million strong, is behind the move to take excessive | | profits out of war was made to the | House Military Committee by Frank | Belgrano, the organization’s na- tional commander. “If you take the pmfi! out of war you won't have war,” the Legion com- | mander declared. Atlantic City Man Called. Called as a witness today was Harry R. Humphries of Atlantic City, de- scribed by Nye as Washington lobbyist for the New York Shipbuilding Co. Bardo was president of the com- pany until last October, when John Metten, former president of the Ma- rine Engineering Co., was installed in that office. Stephen Raushenbush, committee counsel, pressed for information yes- terday whether the change in the | presidency of the company had not | | been made to satisfy demands of the | Navy Department. Metten denied any | | knowledge of such an explanation. He said his service as a ship designer | was desired by the company.
