Senate action on social security bill faces civil rights fight
Debate over W. Wilson White for civil rights chief in the Justice Department triggers Southern opposition. Senators push an amendment to raise social security benefits to 10 percent, arguing 7 percent is insufficient for retirees. The bill would lift payments for 12 million people and lift taxes, with additional funds for public aid, civil defense, and education. The package heads to President Eisenhower after tax relief and other provisions pass.

Proxmire Blasts Federal Reserve Rate Increase
Senator William Proxmire labeled the Fed discount rate hike a very bad mistake warning it pushes interest higher while five million are unemployed. He urged a new inflation fighting strategy but did not offer alternatives. Nearby, Gov Vernon Thomson touted education and youth policy while Democratic rival Gaylord Nelson criticized him as a middleman.
