SECURITY [SSUES BLOCK CONFEREES) Bill With Clark and Russell Amendments Present Big Obstacles. By the Associated Press. The changes the Senate made in the Roosevelt social security program pre- sent difficult issues for congressional «onferees to solve. One is the Clark amendment to exempt private pension plans from the contributory old age pension program. The other is the Russell amendment to drop for two years the requirement that States must match the Federal grants for non-contributory assistance to the needy aged. ‘House Opposition. ‘The bill, which has passed both houses, is now in conference to iron out differences. House conferees are reported to be opposing both amend- ments. The first proposal, offered by Sena- tor Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, pro- vides that in cases where concerns have private pension plans with bene- fits equal to the Federal program they and their employes shall be exempt from the taxes levied to support the Government plan. Clark and other supporters of the amendment contended many private plans are more liberal and should be permitted to continue. Opponents denied this and said the amendment would “wreck” the public fund. Russell Amendment. ‘The amendment offered by Senator Russell, Democrat, of Georgia would permit the Federal Government to provide the $15 a month grants for the aid of needy aged without being matched by States which have nolaws ' | permitting them to do so. Russell argued that other States will have to amend their constitutions to permit them to match the Federal funds and that mean- while they should not be denied the benefits. Administration experts estimated that the Russell amendment would require the appropriation of at least an additional $75.000,000 for the cur- rent fiscal year. The bill now carries | only $50,000,000 for this year. The conferees will not meet again until Monday night.

Academic Fredeom Pleas. A last-minute argument on aca- demic freedom was advanced last night when Dr. George W.

On this Fourth of July the word went out that the frail old Declara- tion of Independence will not be moved again, after all. Although a glittering new Archives Building has been built to hold State papers, congressmen, librarians and archivists have agreed, it is said, to leave the Declaration in its “shrine” at the Library of Congress, along with the Constitution. To the second floor of the Library of Congress, 2,000 or 3,000 visitors go every day to peer through pro- tecting yellow glass at the two his- toric documents. The Constitution, inlaid in a mar- ble table, is still easy to read. But the Declaration of Independence, en- cased in the wall over the table, is almost {llegible. “It took an act of Congress in 1921 to put the Declaration into the li- brary,” said Representative Keller, Democrat, of Illinois, “and it would take another act of Congress to get it out, I guess. “There was some talk when the Declaration of Indepe To Stay in Congress Library Archives Building was first started of moving the Declaration over there, but that’s all died down now.” The Declaration of Independence ndence is perhaps the most-traveled of American state vapers. From the day in 1776 when it was signed in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall un- til it was lodged in the library's shrine, the Declaration wandered from city to city, from department to department. Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental Congress, carried it with him as he was driven by the dangers of war from Philadelphia to Balti- more, Lancaster, York, Princeton, Annapolis and New York. Afterward the Declaration moved again and again as the new Govern- ment shifted from New York to Phil- adelphia to Washirgton and then from one temporary building to an- other. When the British set fire to build- ings in Washington in 1814, the Declaration was hastily thrown into & sack and carted off to Leesburg Va. Later it went on other travels. get into trouble because they think wrong, not because they are “bad” at heart.

This is Arlington’s last noisy Fourth of July, the sale or explosion of fire- works having been prohibited by ordi- nance after August 1. Children took advantage of the situation by getting an early start for their final fiing with the noisemakers. Residents reported fireworks explosions began on Tuesday and have continued regularly.
