Senate panel urges wide liberalization of old age pensions
A special Senate committee urged Congress to expand social security to guarantee a $30 monthly minimum pension for unemployed Americans over 60. It also proposed a $30 minimum old age insurance and a 6 percent payroll tax by 1934, with coverage extended to self employed and farmers. The plan would cost about $4 billion annually and affect about 10 million beneficiaries, with widows under 60 benefiting indirectly under raised minimums.
