SPENDING PLAN

15 Billion to Be Poured Into!

Trade Channels in “Next 15 Years.

{This is another of several articles on the aewly amended Social Security Act.)

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The revised Social Security Act, now law by President Roosevelt's signature, has large potentialities as a spend ing program. Liberalized benefits of all sorts—

increased old-age insurance payments, monthly survivors’ payments for widows and orphans of insured workers, coverage of pensioners’ wives nd the like—will mean the

- pouring out in the next 15 years of

$7,010,000,000 more than would have ‘been paid under the original” act, according to Social Security Board .estimates. Altogether, $15,509,000,000 will be poured into the channels of pur-

chasing power in the way of social

insurance and other benefits in the next 15 years, compared with $8.499,000,000 scheduled under the old act, according to estimdtes. In the next six years, 1940-1945 inclusive, payments will total $2,028,000,000 more than originally provided—$2,869,000,000 .as compared with $841,000,000 — the estimates show. - Unemployment Fund, Too

During discussion of the defeat of President Roosevelt's spendinglending bill at the recent session of Congress, the suggestion has come from New Dealers that the social security system offers a ready ve-

“ hicle for a spending program in the

next Congress. This could be done by only a slight revision of benefits all along the line, as is demonstrated by what was accomplished by revision at this year’s session. Conservatives, both in the Administration and out, will resist further spending through this medium. ‘Beyond old-age insurance, survivor benefits, aid to children and the like, the social security program also offérs another source of purchasing power in unemployment compensation. Up to July 1, this year, $624,709,916 had been paid out by the states in unemployment compensation since the law went into effect. The amount of unemployment compensation goes up and down, of course, with the business and industrial barometer. . The first/pillion-dollar year under the gld-age insurance system will be 1246, when it is estimated that $1,048,000,000 will be paid out. This is’ more than double the amount which it is estimated would have heen disbursed under the original law. Eligibility Time Cut

The increases have largely heen made by boosting old-age insurance payments for the earlier years, that is, by providing for people now in late middle age and by the establishment of pensions for wives after they reach 65 and for widows and orphans. Old-age pensions: now can begin after a shorter period of covergae. The old law required five years of coverage for eligibility, while the new act requires only one and a half to three years. For a worker with three years of coverage it provides a pension of $20.60 for a single person and $30.90 for a married couple, on an average wage of $50; $25.75 and $38.63, respectively, on an average wage of $100; $30.90 and $46.35 on an average wage of $150; and $41.20 and $61.80 on an ayerage wage of $250 and over (nothing over $250 being counted in establishing the rate). This is all new. ‘Pensions for married couples are larger for all periods of coverage than for the pensioner under the old act. However, pensions for sinwhile larger rough 20 years of coverage und he new act than the old, are slightly less for coverage above 20 years than were the pensions under the old

: system.

‘LESS DRASTIC" WPA WAGE RATE SOLUTION SEEN

Three Pay Checks in North Available for Cut to Aid : One in South. ;

By CHARLES T. LUCEY ' ‘Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Dislocation of WPA wage rates in the North, as a result of the new relief act, may be less drastic than was anticipated at first. _ WPA officials have feared that the Sept. .1 wage readjustments, to

|e made so that relief earnings mn

all sections will not vary more than is justified by cost-of-living factors,

* | might bring a new outbreak of pro-

tests throughout the country. La Guardia Gives Warning

Mayor La Guardia of New York said here a few days ago that any cut in WPA wage rates in Northern cities “would bring the mere subsistence wage down to the point of actual want.” He demanded that the Government find a formula in setting new rates that would not penalize Northern municipalities. When the law was passed, it was assumed generally that for each

181 added to the monthly wage of

the Southern WPA worker, the Northern WPA worker would lose that much: WPA workers in Region One,

. lwhich includes the North and West,

have been paid an average of $54 a month, while those in Region Three —the -South—have averaged $32. A smalier intermediate region has had an average mcnthly wage of $3. To bring all workers to the same level, with the only difference based on living-cost variances, is the object of the coming readjustment.

Most Jobs in North

But it is being shown now that there are almost three Northern workers getting $54 monthly to each Southern WPA worker getting $32 —thus that there are, in effect, three Northern paychecks available for shaving to provide each single increase in the South. Early August reports showed approximately 1,378,000 WPA workers in Region One, as against 448,000 in the Southern region. In the borderline region there were 255,000 workers. A WPA research staff is attempting to work out cost- -of -living figures. Another problem which may arise out of increases in the South is that in some cases relief wages actually

will be higher than those paid in

| private industry.

SHERIFF'S MEMORY

SUSPECT'S NEMESIS

. ALBION, Ind. Aug. 14 (U.-P.).— Sheriff Roscoe ‘° Rimmell’s memory for faces today proved the nemesis of Leonard Bowling. The sheriff arrested a man Saturday night who gave his name as Everett Conley, 37, of Romeo, Mich. He was charged with a motor law violation. The man’s resemblance to someone almost forgotten worried the sheriff overnight. Yesterday he stopped before “Conley’s” cell. “Good morning, Leonard,” sheriff said. : The greeting turned the trick. The

admitted he was Leonard Bowling, wanted in Noble County since 1932 for violation of parole after serving 15 months of a two to 10-year term for vehicle taking.

NORTHWEST FLORI FLORIDA LASHED BY STORM

APALACHICOLA, Fla, Aug. 14 (U. P.).—The northwest Florida coast today surveyed the damage left by a tropical storm that roared

{in from the Gulf with near-hurri- | cane strength.

The big blow struck the Apalachicola vicinity late Saturday. The wind blew one house off its foundation, unroofed several fishing houses and part of the railroad depot, littered streets with flying tin and whipped up tides that swamped three small boats. Telephone and telegraph communication was disrupted.
