FRIDAY MARCH 19TH, 1943
Post War Security
Is Being Studied
President Roosevelt has sent to
Congress -resources planning board re-
ports calling for cushioning the post-
war economy and for expansion of
Social Security to cover individuals
from birth to the grave.
The Chief Executive transmitted to
the legislators two proposals, one deal-
ing with post-war plans and wartime
planning activities and the other with
the question of security, work, ar.d re-
lief policies.
Because of their basic importance to
the national welfare during and after
the war, Mr. Roosevelt said in a mes-
sage, “It is my earnest hope that the
Congress will give these matters full
consideration during this session.” He
added:
“We must not return to the inequi-
ties, insecurity and fears of the past,
but ought to move forward towards
the promise of the future.”
The resources board set forth re-
commendations both for demobiliza-
tion of the armed forces and of civi-
lians in war work.
It looked forward to demobilization
day as meaning that job guarantees
must be provided, dismissal wages
paid for war workers, and with ration-
ing and price control retained ir.- the
transition period.
The board, which is headed by
Frederic A. Delano, the President’s un-
cle, suggested that retention of a gra-
duated tax base will be needed, with
major emphasis on the individual in-
come tax and less reliance on the cor-
porate income levy together with a
sharp reduction in consumption taxes.
It envisioned the development of
plans now for large-scale public works
projects after the war, covering every-
thing from housing to interconnecting
power lines.
In the field of Social Security, the
board called for these six immediate
steps:
Enactment of permanent and tem-
porary disability insurance.
Extension of coverage of old age and'
survivors insurance and continuing
efforts to provide more adequate mini-
mum benefits.
Reorganization of the unemploy-
ment compensation laws to provide
broadened coverage, larger payments,
incorporating benefits to dependents,
payments of benefits for at *e-rst 26
weeks, and -replacement of the present
federal-state system by a wholly fed-
eral administrative organization and a
single national fund.
Creation of an adequate general
public assistance system through fed-
eral aid for general relief available
to the states on an equalizing basis
and accompanied by federal standards.
• Strengthening of the special public
assistance programs to provide more
adequately for those in need, and dis-
tribution of federal aid to correspond
to differences in needs and financial
capacity among the states.
Adequate' measures to insure the
security of those serving in the armed
forces and their families.

J. P. MORGAN PASSES AWAY
BOCA GRANDE, Fla.—John Pier-
mont Morgan, his very name a symbol
of extreme wealth and power, died
early Saturday in the kind of atmos-
phere in which he lived—one of dignity
and restraint.
And, just as he had planned it, the
passing of the 75-year-old banker
brought no upheavel in Wall Street
and no shakeup in the House of Mor-
gan, the institution through which he
had carried out some of the largest
transactions of this, or any other, cen-
tury.
Morgan for three days had been
in a coma induced by the recurrence of
an old heart ailment, coronary throm-
bosis, and contributing complications.
The tall, heavyset financier lay in
cottage on the grounds of the Cas-
parilla Inn in this island, to which he
had come Feb. 25 to fish.
There was no excitement in his ex-
clusive resort when Dr. H. S. Patter-
son, the bankers’ personal physician,
announced the death.
The quiet-spoken banker would
have liked that, because he always a-
voided publicity.
Funeral services were held at 10
A. M., Tuesday at St. George’s Epis-
copal church in New York.
In 1940 the House of Morgan start-
ed making preparations for carrying on
after the chief’s death. The firm took
out papers of incorporation to replace
the partnership arrangeemnt which had
existed so long under the first J. Pier-
pont Morgon and, after his death 30
years ago, under the junior Morgan.
Associates explained the change was
made because otherwise, it would have
been difficult for the institution to
keep its capital intact.
The financial markets took Morgan’s
death in stride; stocks and bonds
showing none of the reaction which
might have resulted without careful
forethought. Great Britian never for-
got that it was Morgan who in 1915
formed a syndicate of 2,200 banks to
handle a $500,000,000 loan to the Alli-
ed governments, then hard pressed for
funds with which to carry on the first
World War.
He was known too as a product of
an era of rugged individualism, who
nevertheless managed to keep his
firm operating smoothly during the
days of the post-war depression and
the period when government stepped in
to take more and more control of
business.
But intimate friends knew the rich
man’s son who had tasted the good-
ness of wealth, and loved the gracious
living that goes with wealth.

AGAINST CEILING PRICES
ON CATTLE
West Texas cattlemen individually
and through their livestock associations
are attempting to bring all the pres-
sure they can bear upon Judge Mar-
vin Jones, assistant to Price Stabili-
zation Director Jimmy Byrnes, Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wickard and
OPA Administrator Prentiss Brown,
in an effort to prevent a ceiling being
placed upon cattle and lambs.
Livestock men say that a ceiling on
cattle is an impracticable thing in view
of the many grades and the impossi-
bility of setting up standards fot live
animals.
