Up T0 CONGRESS

Roosevelt to Send Data, But Won't Insist on | Specific Policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt said today he would send to congress certain information and data relating to his proposal that the social security program be extended to cover every American “from the cradle to the grave.” The president said at his press

conference that he would send the|

data to congress and that it would then be up to congress to work out the method for achieving the objective. He added that there was no controversy as to the objective. Mr. Roosevelt cautioned reporters not to speculate beyond the extent of his words, Wait and See Asked whether he planned to submit any special legislative recommendations to congress soon on any other subject, the president said he did not know and added, wait and see. Congressional leaders, following the president's message yesterday, proposed a super investigating committee of the house and senate to tackle the proposal for expanded social security. The super-committee proposal was nade by House Democratic Leader John W., McCormack of Massachusetts. Republicans quickly agreed that it was the only logical approach to the president’s demand that this government “can and must” provide such assurances.

Probably the most politically controversial proposal made by the governor was one to abolish the six-member state appellate court, now completely controlled by Republicans. *He pointed out that much of the work of the appellate court had disappeared with the passing of the prohibition era and said he was informed that the court today had but some eighty odd cases pointed. He said that the abolition of the court might make it necessary to add two or more members to the state supreme court. He said tit the move would not only be an

Details Left to Legislature

Most of the governor's suggestions to the assembly were couched in general terms, leaving the specific

legislators if ghey wish to take any action on the matters mentioned. State civilian defense matters were discussed in this vein. He pointed out to the legislators that the present civil defense law expires on March 15 and said only that the legislators should give early consideration to some effective war measures that will meet the demands of the state in the future.

SINCE THEY WILL handle the highly controversial liquor legislation, more public interest probably is focused on the public policy committee in the senate and the public morals committee of the house than in any other of the 91 state legislative committees. Both wets and drys have analyzed the complexion of the two committes to try to determine how these committees will vote on local option bills which will be introduced. No one can tell definitely, of course, until: the time comes to act on such legislation whether the committees are wet or dry,

McCormack’s proposal indicated the tendency of leaders to' go slowly on the social security phase of the president’s message, pending the disposition of more urgent war measures.

it had been known that he might advocate a plan similar to the Beveridge report. While the committee idea picked up its initial strength in the house, the senate awaited a social security

F. Wagner (D. N. Y.) which would extend benefit coverage to an additional 20,000,000 Americans.

Extends Coverage

Wagner's proposal, which likely will -provide the first test on social security legislation, would: 1. Cover farmers, domestics, pub-

sons ang most other groups not now entitled to benefits under social security law. 2. Provide social security benefits for disabled workmen. 3. Provide hospitalization benefits for all persons covered by social security laws. 4. Enlarge the public assistance now provided for dependent children, the blind and the needy. 5. Federalize the unemployment compensation system now under state administration. Wagner also plans to exceed the social security board's rcommendation by proposing maternity insurance for married women, as suggested in Great Britain’s Beveridge plan.

WANTS HOSPITAL OUT OF POLITICS

and those departments attached physically to it would be entirely removed from board of health jurisdiction. Mayor Tyndall, who earlier remarked that “the health of our citizens should never be jeopardized by political consideration,” declared that the hospital setup would be similar to that now employed in the city administration of the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility. He added that

in Indianapolis had indorsed the measure and said he could see “no

Separation of the hospital from its t political status was a major in the mayor’s campaign plat-

The only qualification stipulation of the tentative bill is that the hospital superintendent be a physician. Mr. Miller said that although there had been some discussion as to “whether directors should be required to possess M. D.’s, no such qualification is included in the bill as it now stands. Mayor Tyndall said the present \plan calls for payment of only

nominal salaries to trustees and di-|on

rectors. It was not stated whether or not the superintendent's salary would remain at $5000 a year as at

the state board. Two Counties Affected In all counties but Marion and Vanderburgh, the circuit court judge is also the juvenile court judge, so the proposed change in the statute would affect the appointment of board only in those counties. } Backers of the measure understand that the circuit court judge in Vanderburgh would not object to relinquishing his welfare connection, so that there would be no conflict in that quarter.

County and State Boards Clash Again

The feud between the Marion county and state welfare hoards continued today at white heat. Frank Symmes, president of the county board, said his board has refused to comply with recent instructions of the state board to hire 17 more welfare investigators in the county department. “These additional employees would increase the annual payroll between $20,000 and $30,000 and our surveys show they are not necessary with the present case load,” Mr. Symmes said. He said the county board has instructed Mrs. Helen Guynn, acting director of the department, formally to notify the state board of the county board’s position in the matter. Plans Another Survey

Thurman Gottschalk, state wel-| fare director, said the state board would make another survey of the county department’s case load and if the number of welfare recipients has dropped “the requirements for additional investigators may be revised downward.” State and federal requirements on personnel are fixed on the basis of one visiting investigator for every 200 recipients. The county department would lose federal grants if the personnel falls below federal and state requirements. Already the state is withholding some $60,000 from the county for failure to meet standards.

but here’s how the experts have them analyzed: The senate committee — while the committee appears on the surface to be dry, it is expected that the majority of committee members actually will vote against local opticn. The committee chairman, John VanNess (R. Valparaiso) has a legislative record of being open-minded on all matters. The house committee—It is evenly divided between wets and drys, with the drys having sufficient strength to get any dry legislation on the floor of the house. The committee chairman, Paul Moffett, Indianapolis farmer,.is regarded as neither a wet nor a dry. The senate policy committee has established a policy of holding up all early liquor legislation until the general picture becomes clear. » t 4 ”

-Want Willkie’s Photo

ODDS AND ENDS: One of the projects of ‘Mrs. Grace Reynolds, Republican national committeewoman, is to get a picture of Wendell Willkie on the walls of state G. O. P. headquarters. At present only one of the Republican state office holders, Mrs. Marjorie Gundersen, reporter of the supreme and appellate courts, has a picture of the party’s 1940 standard bearer in her office. . . . Many Republicans see political significance in the coming visit here of Governor Bricker of Ohio, a 1944 presidential prospect. He is to address a bar meeting. , . . Senator Thurman Biddinger (R. Marion), already has received a telegram requesting him to vote against house bill 245. Only 18 bills have been introduced in the house.

increased appropriations and better working conditions for all employees can no longer be delayed.” ’ » #” 8 “I respectfully urge the enactment of a new truck weight tax law, calculated to yield an annual revenue of at least $1,500,000. The fair-minded trucking interests. of our state, I firmly believe, will -admit the justice of such legislation.” » » 2 “I am advised that 3000 Incliana teachers are under contract for $960 or less per year, and that the average salary for classroom teachers is $1350 at this time. No friend of education will deny the injustice of this situation and I believe that we can “all agree on a minimum salary of $1000 per year for any qualified teacher in our state.” » » ® “I recommend that you remove the 1937 amendment (to the state welfare act) and restore the appointment . of the. Marion county welfare - director to the Marion county board of public” welfare.”

of state finances, he recommended that a substantial amount of the state’s $25,000,000 general fund balance be held back for use in the post-war era. He said that the state was fortunate in not having to find new sources of revenue "during these times but pointed out the accumulation of large cash surpluses, such as at present, is always fraught with danger in that it often leads to nonessential spending. “I am confident,” he said,” that we are in full agreement that this tendency is to be carefully avoided.” The governor recommended that all Hoosiers in the armed services

He covered most of the major planks of the Democratic state platform in his talk, but did not make any remarks pertaining to a direct primary for all state offices or the placing of a limit on campaign contributions to political parties, matters covered in bills introduced in the legislature yesterday by the Democratic steering committee. Other proposals made by the governor were: STATE GUARD—That an appropriation “more substantial” than the $50,000 provided by the 41 assembly be made. HIGHWAY PROBLEMS—That a truck weight tax law yielding $1,500,000 annually be enacted; that the annual allocation of $1,250,000 of highway revenues to the state general fund be discontinued; that a new system of distributing highway funds to counties and cities be worked out on a percentage basis: that at least a part of the cost of operating the state police department, all of which is now paid from highway funds, be transferred to some other source such as the alcoholic beverages commission,

raise the minimum salary of all teachers to $1000 annually; that the state provide free textbooks for the elementary schools, the system to be put into effect gradually. CONSERVATION AND FORESTRY—That the present state forestry and nursery be expanded and that the present forestry tax be increased from two to five mills. UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSA TION—That the present law be simplified to expedite payment of checks to the unemployed; ‘that the maximum benefits be increased to $20 for 20 weeks; that any earnings of $3 a week or under not: be deducted from the unemployed person’s pay check; that the present experience rating proysionssof the law be retained. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION —That the law should be amended to raise Indiana to the level of other industrial states on workmen’s compensation payments and that the legal status of the state industrial board be clarified.
