The minimum for a retired worker and his wife —if she is 65 or over—would rise senhower’s program for a bigger and mure liberal social security system was almost ready today for House consideration. é Members of the House Ways-and Means Committee predicted their group wuuld approve the legisla- tion next week after a couple of finishing touches. The committee has been taking up the Eisenhower program on an item-by-item basis. Late yesterday, the committee approved all of the Presideni’s re- quests for higher benefits and in a few cases added some of its own. It also approved.-over the »p- position of most cu:mmittce Re. publicans—the Presiden:'s plan to raise from $3,600 to $4,200 the max- from $37.50 to $45;.the maximum from $127.50 to $147.75. Even bigger increases would be provided for those retiring after the new $4,200 base takes effect next year.

It is the Trea- sury’s policy in following sound money practices to achieve new sales volume at least equal to the f on of matured as well as prosaette E and H bonds. The score so far shows the Treasury ahead .by $272 million.” Planning Group Accepts Changes -In Master Plan The City Planning Commission, at its last meeting, voted unani- mously that the City Commission accept the changes made in the .| city’s master plan.

That left only two substantial items still to be acted upon: a Proposal’ to extend coverage to farm laborers, and a plan to give disabled workers full benefits. The committee already aad ae- cepted Eisenhower’s request to ex- tend social security coverage to doctors, lawyers and other profes. sionals, to farm operators, minis- ters, state and local government employes and various smaller groups. If the bill becomes iaw, the sys- tem, now govering sume 70 mil- lion workers and naying bencfits to 6 million persons, wouid blaaket almost the entire working force of the nation. The social security system pro vides monthly payments t« work- ers and their families on retire- ment or to their survivors. Both workers and their empluyers pay special taxes into a trust’ fund from which benefits are paid.
