Eisenhower outlines social security expansion plan
The president proposed liberalizing the retirement test to allow seniors to earn more, expanding Social Security tax base, and revising benefit calculations. He urged a计算 approach to protect disabled benefits and to raise coverage from 45 to about 75 percent of the aged within five to six years, with long term cost around half a percent of payroll. He also discussed federal sharing changes for public assistance and noted tax increases scheduled for 1970. A separate incident described a Philippines Airlines DC-6 crash near Rome, with 16 killed including the European manager.

It was the airline’s first fatal international loss and investigation was started. Officials speculated the pilot opted for a field plunge to avoid a crowded building after the craft tore a 40 foot crater in wet clay.
