PAY DEDUCTION

‘FIGHT LOOMS Sen. Vandenberg Preparing

Bill to Protect Status

Of Servicemen.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (U. P.). —Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) today revealed plans to in-|: troduce legislation to protect the social security status of members

of the armed forces and possibly to forestall a scheduled increase in || social security payroll deductions Jan. 1. . Vandenberg’s plans were in line with other recent congressional ex-| pressions ‘indicating a lukewarm reception for greatly expanded social security programs recently advanced by President Roosevelt and Sen. Robert F. Wagner (D. N. Y,), sponsor of the original act. Wagner has pending in the senate a proposal to expand the social security program to provide greater unemployment benefits, medical care and hospitalization, and to increase the contributions to the 'social security fund to 12 per cent of total payrolls, borne équally by employers and employees. His bill also would have the federal government contribute to the fund on behalf of members of! the armed forces, as recommended by President ‘Roosevelt, so that they would not fall behind in building up individual reserves because of their military service. -

Want Separate System

Many congressmen feel that the |§

status of servicemen should be han- | dled separately from a general expansion of the security program. “I expect to introduce such & bill when congress reconvenes,” Vandenberg said. “I am not pre-

pared to say how it will compare |E

with the programs advanced by the president and Senator Wagner. I am prepared to say that it will be adequate.” He led the fights in 1941 and 1942 which prevented social security deductions from jumping from nine-

tenths of one per cgnt up to two |S

per cent. The increase now is scheduled effective Jan. 1, 1944. E Vandenberg disclosed that he al-

ready has asked Chairman Arthur .

J. Altmeyer of the social security board for full details on the status|3 of the social security reserve fund E as of June 30, 1943. : “His report will determine so far as I am concerned whether the increase would again be stopped,” he said,
