CONTEMPORARY

QUESTIONS FIND STUDENT READY

College Group Leads Others In Knowledge of Events, Survey Indicates.

Times Special FRANKLIN, Ind. Jan. 21.—College students are more advanced in contemporary thinking and more familiar with current activities than others in a community, ac-

cording to a survey conducted by |

social psychology classes of Franklin College under direction of Dr. W. G. Mather. The questionnaire, which -concerned “mercy” killings, in which persons suffering with incurable diseases might be put to death legally was asked of college students, business men and farmers. A total of 61 per cent of the students favored the measure, while only 34 per cent of the business men thought such a plan feasible and but 9 per cent of the farm people approved the idea. Eighty-two per cent of the students were familiar with the proposal, while 72 per cent of the business men knew about it. Of farmers, 21 per cent had heard of the idea.

Franklin College will open its debate schedule when it is host to five teams Irom Butler University in a nondecision meet the first week in February. Other teams the Franklin debaters will meet during the Indiana Conference schedule include Wabash College, Indiana State Teachers’ College, DePauw University, Indiana Law School, Earlham and Anderson Colleges.

Proposal Studied to Reduce State Social Security Levy

By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Administration leaders today studied favorably a proposal to amend the Social Security Act, reducing the percentage of state contributions to old-age pensions. The suggested amendment would make it possible for the Federal Government to contribute 60 per cent to old-age pensions and the states 40 per cent, as compared to the present provisions for 50-50 contributions up to $15 each. “It has developed that cerfain states find it financially impossible to contribute their share to the pension system,” a high Administration leader in Congress said. “It is now proposed to make it possible for the Government to increase the percentage of its contribution if that should prove feasible in dealing with various states. Details Are Incomplete

“Details of the proposed amend-

ment have not yet been worked

out but presumably it would pro-’

vide for about 60-40 contributions.” From other sources, it was learned that the Administration plans ne

other important changes in the Social Security Law at this session of Congress. There will, however, be a number of minor administrative. changes proposed. Senator Pat Harrison (D. Miss.) chairman of the Finance Committee, said he knew of no proposals for changes in the taxing provisions of the measure or in the provision for establishment of a huge reserve, eventually totalling almost $50,000,000,000 in the Treasury to pay old-age benefits. It was understood the Administration planned to smooth out details of the Social Security machin-

ery ‘before taking up more funda-

mental changes, except for possible action on the contributions to pensions.

Other Revisions Likely Eventually, however, revision of both the reserve fund and taxing provisions was believed likely. At present the employer and employee contribute equally to make up a tax of 6 per cent of payrolls. The reserve accumulates in the

Treasury General Fund where, critics of the plan point out, it may be spent by Congress for other than old-age benefits.
