Senate Sets Minimum on Aid to Aged
The Senate sent its Social Security Act amendments to the House for concurrence. They would provide a minimum old age assistance grant of 25 dollars per month. The amendments also set state contribution requirements and a federal matching formula to reach the 25 dollar minimum, with 31 states potentially barred from eligibility. The package would extend coverage to about 1.3 million workers and save taxes for three years. The same session debates a Japan embargo proposal under the Nine Power Treaty and a possible neutrality revision.
