West Is Out
Swinging like a weather-vane in a

caught Jim West, Houston oil multi-
millionaire and O’Daniel’s third
nominee for Highway Commission
chairman, at a low ebb, and his con-
fiimatiqn was rejected. Many here
now believe O’Daniel will submit no
other name, but will make a recess
appointment after adjournment.
Some think John Wood, encumbent,
may remain as a holdover.

More than a dozen bills are pend-
ing in Congress to amend the Social
Security Act. These amendment
proposals vary. Some of them would
convert the social security program
into something like the "ham and
eggs” scheme hatched in California.
Others would put the present pro-
pram on a pay-a.H-you-go basis and
revise the present scale of payroll
taxes.
A committee of the House has con-
cluded public hearings on all these
amendment ideas, and will soon
make its recommendations. What
the committee will recommend is, of
course, not known, but it appears
likely that the “ham and eggs” theo-
ry will be discarded as impractical.
More important is the stand the com-
mittee will take on the pay-as-you-
go proposals.
No one will oppose the intended
objective of the social security pro-
gram, but there is plenty of room to
doubt the method by which the gov-
ernment is trying to reach that ob-
jective. It is* collecting millions of
dollars yearly from the pay en-
velopes of workers and spending
those millions for other government
expenses instead of putting them in-
to the reserve fund which Congress
intended. The reserve fund has only
government I. O. U.’s in it now. It
is not likely that workers reaching
retirement age will be satisfied to
receive their security benefits in
non-negotiable I. O. U.’s.
In addition, the present program
calls for an increase in the tax rate
next year. That will mean more mil-

A prominent business man stopped
off in Washington recently.
He called at the office of an ad-
ministration Senator. The conversa-
tion in substance follows:
“About the time I left for the
South,” said th<> business man, “I
read in the newspapers about the ad-
ministration’s plan to appease busi-
ness. How is that move getting
along?”
“You know as much as I do," re-

And the economists in both houses
held their lines intact, as four of the
major biennial appropriation bills
passed the House, and one—the De-
partmental bill— rode thru the
Senate,-—without the addition of
much money above the figures
recommended by the sub-committees.
The Senate restored about $450,000
of the $600,000 a year cut from the
Department of Public Safety’s bud-
get, but only after the Finance Com-
mittee won a moral victory. The
State police had the benefit of about
$600,000 a year of income from fees
aid licenses this biennium, for which
they gave no detailed itemization.
When the committee asked the de-
partment to submit a detailed budget
showing how this money was to he
spent, the department failed to do

hat much fnconte. The Department,
frantic at loss of over $1,000,000 for

"got in line” and submitted a detail-

mittee. But a big hole through which
