Change in Social Security Reserve Fund Is Proposed
President Roosevelt and Secretary Morgenthau proposed revising the Social Security Act to end the full reserve of 47 billion and replace it with a contingency reserve of 2.5 to 3 billion. Morgenthau urged abolition of the full reserve before the House Ways and Means Committee, while Roosevelt said the new reserve would be sound and sufficient to cover three to five years of pension payments. Morgenthau outlined alternate tax rate plans to reach a 3 percent levy by 1949, with some schedules easing early tax burdens on industry and workers.
