Legislative Jam In Upper House Threatens Long Delay to Adminis tration Measure PASSES HOUSE ON LANDSLIDE TOTAL Designed Eventually To Raise $2,783,000,000 In New Taxes for Financial Aid to Aged, Jobless, Chil dren and Mothers Through out the Nation Washington, April 20—(AP)—Swept through the House of Representatives by a lopsided vote, the Roosevelt so cial security bill ran today into a legislative jam in the Senate which threatens long delay. New attempts to write sweeping changes In the big bill —which is de signed eventually to levy $2,783,000.. 000 or more in new taxes for financial help to the aged, jobless, children and mothers —also were in prospect. The 372 to 33 vote which jammed the bill through the House yesterday was made possible by smooth func tioning of the overwhelming Demo cratic machine, and by the "ayes” of many Republicans who had lost their battle to delete the new taxes from the bill. Off the record, some of these Re publicans said they had to vote for the whole bill on the final roll call to avoid "political suicide.” Fresh from this victory, which fol lowed almost three months of dispute t.lre bill went to the Senate Finance Committee, already tied up in con troversy over the cash bonus and NRA.
