Study Social Security Law Revisions House Committee Is Holding Closed Hearings On Change WASHINGTON (INS) — GOP leaders today enlisted the support Os President Eisenhower in their fight against a Democratic decision to begin work on social security law changes without public hearings. The Republican congressional chiefs discussed the question with Mr. Eisenhower at their weekly legislative meeting as the house ways and means coihmtttee began closed door consideration of the proposed changes. GOP house leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., Mass., told newsmen after the White House session that the President feels that open hearings on the subject should be held by the House group. J Martin also said the contemplated Democratic plan would cost an additional two billion dollars a year and this would be a new burden on the social security old age pension fund. Yhe Massachusetts congressman indicated he spoke for the administration when he expressed hope the Deufocrets "win not Impair the fund which is so sacred to millions of peefrte, who look upon it as a means of financial protection in their old age." Martin said he hoped that if the Democrats put through "any large concessions after the liberal social security amendments which were passed last year, they will provide the money to pay for them so that the fund will not be impaired." Chairman Jere Cooper (D-Tenn.) said the closed door session of the committee would consider these proposals: 1. To allow insured workers immediate retirement benefits if they become totally and 'permanently disabled. Under present law, such persons must wait until they are 65, even if they are disabled at an early age. 2. To lower the age at which women may draw benefits from 65 to 62. 3. To continue benefits for disabled dependent children after they reach 18 if they are unable to earn a living. The Republicans countered by urging consideration of more liberal benefits in virtually every phase of the system. t They said most of them woutS be less expensive than the estimated 1.8 billion dollar cost of the Democratic package. Democraic spokesmen said they would also consider methods of financing the program of benefit changes. They appeared most favorably inclined toward advancing the increase In the social security tax now scheduled for 1960 to 1958. or possibly earlier. The two percent tax is scheduled to go to two and one-half percent at that time. r( » Cooper declared he hoped ,jthe committee can finish the bf!| Thursday and expects -to bring it before the house late next week.
