LIBERALIZING OF U. S. PENSION LAWS ASSURED

State Lawmakers Rallying Behind Bills in 40 Legislatures. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Clamors in Washington for the Townsend oldage pension bill penetrated the legislative halls of 40 states this week in a volume that assured a national liberalization of pension laws, independent of congressional action. State lawmakers rallied in unprecedented number behind 238 oldage pension bills in 40 oP the 43 legislatures in session or temporarily recessed. Solons of seven states acted favorably on the S2OO-a-month-rpend-as-you-go Townsend plan, although they want tfie Federal government to pay the bill—not their own states. A survey made by the American Public Welfare Association as of today showed that bills for giving money to aged indigents outnumber any other type legislative proposals by a staggering proportion. Fifty Bills in Hopper Massachusetts alone has nearly 50 old-age pension bills in the legislative hopper Twelve states would memorialize Congress to enact the Townsend plan, with a national 10 per cent sales tax Three of them already have done so. They are Oregon, Nevada and North Dakota. The proposal has been acted upon favorably in committee or preliminary readings in New Mexico, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The typical state pension bill, according to the American Public Welfare Association survey, reduces the age of eligibility for pension from 70 to 65 years and increases j the maximum gratuity to approximately SSO a month The previous average was nearer S2O. Only 28 states now have old-age pension laws and an advanced eligi- j biiity age and meager inconib characterize most of them. Real Fight Yet to Come Thirteen states have acted favorably on liberalization of present laws or adoption of new statutes since the law-making season opened in December. Georgia and Oklahoma are planning constitutional amendments to make pensions possible. The proposal has passed preliminary readings in both states. Financing measures furnish the batt'eiround in most states. Arkansas and Colorado bills would appropriate chain-store license revenues for pension purposes. A Connecticut legislator proposed a head tax of $2. Massachusetts, Indiana, New Hampshire and Oregon, lowa and Washington would use racing license funds. Some of the other plans suggest taxes on income, tobacco. retail sales and inheritances. The real fight over many of the bills will come next week, when several legislatures begin winding up affairs for adjournment.

GOLD OUT OF WAY, CONGRESS PICKSJPMEED Administration Heads Push for Action on Three Major Projects. By United Preen WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.—Freed of the nervous tension which existed while the gold clause cases were pending, Administration leaders planned today to speed up action on three major N£w Deal legislative projects. They were: 1. The $4,880,000,000 work-relief bill now before the Senate. 2. The economic security program, upon which House and Senate committees will conclude hearings this week. 3. NRA legislation, upon which a presidential message was expected t*>day or tomorrow. This activity will be augmented by the rush of proposed legislation from other quarters. Much of this had been held up until the Supreme Court acted. New proposals include: 1. A work-relief bill amendment by Senator Elmer Thomas <D., bkla.), requiring wider use of silver bullion and silver certificates. Senator Thomas estimated immediate affect of his amendment would be to expand the currency by $325,000,000. 2. A bill by Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D., Mont.), to tax big corporations. 3. A soldiers’ bonus bill by Senator Tydings (D., Md.), which may develop some Administration support. Senator Tydings declined to reveal details of the bill before introduction. 4. A drive by Senator Edward P. Costigan (R., Colo.)and Senator Robert M. La Follette (Prog., Wis.), for a greatly enlarged public works program. 5. The labor disputes bill of Senator Robert F. Wagner (D„ N. Y.), expected to be ready for introduction Thursday. Administration measures which

are not ranked as “must" legislation, but which have been started through Congress, include the newbanking bill, an HOLC appropriation, transportation and holding company regulation. The combination of Administration measures and bills originating at the Caphol indicate a lengthy session of Congress. The gold clause verdict lifted an atmosphere of uncertainly which has hung ovpr the Capitol for weeks. Senate Leader Joseph T. Robinson was jubilan*. When first mformed of the decisions he gestun and toward the Senate press gallery, making a pantomine to indicate the lifting of a huge load from his chest. Senator Pat McCarran (D., Nev) has completed anew prevailing wage rates “need not be uniform throughout the United States, but shall not be less than the prevailing rates of wages paid for work of a similar nature in the place where the work is located."
