House Set To Hear Security Raise Bill With Bipartisan Backing
The House faces a social security proposal sponsored by Chairman Doughton to boost benefits for most retirees by 5 dollars per month or 12.4 percent, whichever is larger. The plan raises minimums and family maximums and claims to fund increases from wage growth without tax-rate changes. It would aid over 4.5 million recipients and adds military service credits and disability protections while extending coverage to more government workers.

In Heidelberg and surrounding areas, draft soldiers report fewer disciplinary problems and higher recreation time morale than volunteers. General Handy, head of the European command, cites two main factors raising morale: belief in a planned, integrated operational scheme and acceptance of a fixed service term, with AWOL and misconduct down since the draft's reintroduction.
