House-passed Social Security bill

The provisions would provide

he will dight in the Senate to beat
both compromise plans.
He declined, however, to predict
the outcome, conceding that the
votes should be close.
He said he understands debate
on the long-delayed bill may begin
Monday. The Democratic leader-
ship has held it up while seeking
acceptable compromises for the
two key House provisions, both op-
posed by the Eisenhower adminis-
women and the disabled. The Sen-
■te committee knocked out the
new benefits tor all groups except
widows, and also eliminated the
tax boost.
Byrd said that under Kerr's plan
two women living in the same
block could be drawing different
rates of retirement, pay if one quit
at an earlier age than the other
This would result in pressure that
could not be resisted to raise the
lower benefit, he contended.
As for George’s disability plan.
Byrd said he regards it as unduly
complex to administer in that it
would set up a second Social Se-
curity trust fund. George proposed
a separate fund for disability ben-
efits, to be financed by a raise
of one quarter per cent in the

payments would be on a some-

calls for full benefits to women

Ike's Stock Buying
Secret From Him
WASHINGTON un - Rep. Bow
(R-Ohio) said Thursday friends
handle President Eisenhower's per-
sonal investments without telling
him what securities they are buy-
ing and selling.
He said Eisenhower wants It
that way so there isn’t “even the
possibility of a subconscious bias
in favor of any organization in
which he had an interest.”
Writing in a regular letter to
constituents, Bow did not give the
source of his informa boo
He said that among "a few
' trusted friends” handling Eisen-
bower's investments is Col. Rob-
1 ert L. Schulz, his military aide,
I and continued:
“Thus today, aside from the
farm at Gettysburg, the President
(has no personal knowledge of
stock ownership. He receives regu-
lar reports as to total gains or
losses, bat no details of the trans-
actions.”
