Abandon All Hope Of Social Security Expansion In 1949
Democratic leaders largely gave up chances for social security expansion in 1949 though the house Ways and Means Committee approved measures to cover 11 million more people under old age insurance and boost benefits by 50 to 150 percent in certain categories.

A drive to pass it in the House would continue this year.
