Social safety plan gains Senate support for passage
June 18 AP report from Washington notes the Clark amendment to exempt private pension plans from a proposed payroll tax gaining strength in the Senate. Senator Clark of Missouri drew support from Republican Leader McNary as Democrats signaled sympathy. The measure would shield private systems approved by the new Social Security board from a six percent tax, while the broader social security bill, containing old age pensions and unemployment insurance, remained largely intact and faced a possible vote before nightfall. House already passed related provisions to back Secretary Wallace's farm policies and extend support amid ongoing debates.
