Washington, June 8. There has been so much loose talk about the "split" in the Democratic party, as a result of the opposi tion to the President's Supreme Court reorganization plan, that some superficial observers have come to the conclusion that Mr. Roosevelt has lost his influence SIS 20 RCA Victor Auto Radios 800 Autographed Baseballs tun® I n SINCLAIR BABE Wsl RUTH X CONTEST L Eatry Bleaks at Siaclair Dealers _ MOT SMCLMR ROWING COMPANY (INC.)

Mr. Roosevelt, as head of his party, is still the highly-esteem ed leader to whom Senators and Representatives of the majority look for guidance; and anything the President wants which the legislative leaders regard as rea sonable or desirable, he can get. There is no "feud" between Con gress and the President, but on the contrary, Congress would rather go along with Mr. Roose velt than not. What has actually occurred is that while the Democratic mem bers still recognize and respect Mr. Roosevelt as their leader, they decline to let him be "boss" in matters which are within the Constitutional prerogative of Congress. They no longer accept orders for the enactment of new laws without question o* study, but scrutinize every Administra tion proposal with meticulous care. For it must be admitted that the general temperament of Con gress is far less "liberal" than is that of the New Dealers who de vise the new schemes of economic and social reform for which the President is the spokesman. Power for Executive Agencies There is no great disagreement on the desirability of most of the New Deal program which the president still hopes to put through, if not at this session of Congress, then at the next. This ptogram includes fautny of the "emergency" devices, some of which the Supreme Court declar ed unconstitutional. Increased power for Executive agencies is essential to carrying out the entire system of broad ec onomic planning to which the President is committed. That mpn.ns the delegation of more legislative authority to adminis trators, further ascendancy of the Executive Branch over the Leg islative and the Judicial, and of the Federal government over state governments. With such Increased powers which the President still hopes to have granted by Congress, the control of industry and agricul ture by government could be EXPLAIN REASON ISSUING CARDS Workers 65 Years Old Or Over Have Had Misunder standing About Number IS A FALSE IMPRESSION Issuance at this time of social security account numbers to workers who sire 65 years, or more, of age, is for the record purposes of the North Carolina and other State un employment compensation programs. J. N. Freeman, in charge of the Social Security Board office at the Nis sen Building in Winston-Salem, said this week. His statement was prompted by realization that many of the old er workers applying for account numbers believe they are now eligible for Federal old-age ben efits, Mr. Freeman said. The So cial Security Board feels that this false impression should be cor rected immediately, he added. The statement continued: "A few weeks ago the issuance of social security account num bers was extended to include workers beyond 65 years of age. This was done in order to aid North Carolina and the other states and territories in setting up records for unemployment com pensation programs. State un employment compensation laws cover employees of all ages; whereas the wages received by workers for employment after they reach 65 are not counted to ward old-age benefits under the Federal program "The use of the account num ber cards win help not only the States but employers, too, because only one number will be needed for the old-age benefits plan and the State unemployment compen made effective. A PWt of the broad plan upon which the Pres ident is quite insistent is to make electric power cheaper and more abundant. There is no let-up in the pressure for improved hous ing for the poor by the aid of government subsidies; for making farm owners out of farm tenants, and for the shortening of work ing hours and the increase of wages in industry under govern ment control. Objectives Desirable The tendency in Congress is to regard most of those objectives as desirable in themselves, but to fear that the methods proposed to bring them about will not be ef fective. There is a growing feeling that Uncle Sam has already "bit ten off all he can chew" in the already on the statute books for the regulation of labor rela tions, old age pensions and unem ployment compensation, the stock markets, the public utilities, and all the rest of the regulatory leg islation. Even many of the Congressional "liberals" think it would be wise to wait until the new permanent bureaus set up under those laws have demonstrated whether this whole nation can be effectively regulated from Washington, be fore taking any further steps to extend Frederal control. This feeling is deep enough and strong enough, most experienced observers believe, to serve as an effective check upon the more radical proposals put forth by the New Deal planners. The result will likely be a compromise be tween the President's desire and the views of the more conserva tive element in his party. That is, indeed, what usually comes about whenever Congress begins to assert its independence. Nearly all important legislation in the past has been the result of compromises. The compromises looked for will be in the general direction of leaving much more room for individual initiative than many of the New Dealers like, but progressing toward ultimate gov ernment planning and control. It can almost be set down as a definite prophecy that it is going to be made progressively more difficult for business—corpora tions or individuals—to accumu late large fortunes, and the ob jective of the complete abolition of poverty will have come closer to realization in another year or two than it ever has been any where in the world's history. Dadre to Avert Spilt There are many individual di vergencies from the "average" point of view of Senators and Representatives, of course, as here are members In both houses. There are still many, but not a majority In the Senate and prob ably not a majority in the House, who are willing to go along with the Administration to any" extent. There is a small "bloc" in each house of Democrats who hay turned completely sour on. the President. The powerful leaders, however, are holding the middle ground of Congressional indepen dence tempered by party fealty and the desire to avert a split which would impair Eemocracic chances In 1940. - —— s*tion plan. That is why the Social Security Board announced social security account numbers would be issued to workers who were 65 and more. The Board emphasized that filing of appli cations by these older workers was purely voluntary so far as the Social Security Act was con cerned. Some workers apparently have failed to understand the reason for the extension of reg istration. "Despite reports of some mis understandings as to the purpose of the extension information re ceived by the Board indicates that the invitation to the older workers to apply voluntarily has been accepted generally. "Some workers have asked what taxes the? will have to pay. "No Federal tax for unemploy ment compensation purposes is levied on employees in commer cial and industrial groups. Of the 47 States and Territories now having unemployment compensa tion laws only eight, Alabama, California, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Rhode Island, re quire contributions from employ ees. "Account numbers are being issued to employees 65 years of age and over, as well as to others, through more than 45,000 post offices which are being used un til June 30 in the assignment of account numbers under the Fed eral old-age benefits program of the Social Security Act. "An employee may choose any one of four different ways to file his completed application. They are: (1) through his employer, or (2) through any labor union of which he is a member, or (3) by delivering it to his local post of fice, or (4) by mailing it in a sealed envelope addressed, 'Post master, Local.' "information on applications for account numbers, by agree ments between official State un employment compensation ad ministrations and the Social Se curity Board, will be held as ab solutely confidential and will be used by the State agencies as well | as by the Social Security Board solely in the administering of so cial security laws."
