Social Security Revision Wins In House 374-1
The House passed a wide social security expansion 374 to 1, sending the measure toward Senate action and eventual approval by President Truman. The bill would add about 10 million Americans to old age benefits, raise existing pensions, and adjust tax and eligibility features, with Knowland’s unemployment fund provision drawing opposition in the Senate.
