senate Fasses Social Security Tax Freeze' Knutson Blocks Efforts For Joint Conference WASHINGTON; July 30--OP)-The Senate approved a Social Security Tax "freeze" today after adopting an amendment providing a sliding scale of Federal grants for needy aged, the needy blind, and for dependent children. The measure provides that throughout 1947 the, Social Security payroll tax shall remain at the pre- sent rate of one per cent each on employes and employers. Unless the freeze is enacted, the tax will go up to 212 per centeach the first of the year. The bill went back to the House, where it immediately bumped into trouble. Rep. Knutson (Rep., Minn.) bl)c1ed an effort by Chairman Doughton (Dem., N.C.) of the Ways and Means Committee to send it to a House-Senate Conference Commit- tee for adjustment of the differences beween the two Houses. Knutson objected to a unanimous consent request to send the bill to the conference committee. The Min- ne;ota member is fighting the Sen- ate sliding scale' provision, which would result in larger Federal pay- meits for the needy in low income states. The provision was designed to eli- minate some wide differences in in- dividual case grants now existing in ich~ and poor states. At present the Fcicral Government matches state msney for such cases on a 50-50 basis. Other sections of the bill would provide survivors insurance for vet- erans' families, extend unemploy- mwent compensation to cover mari- time workers, increase child welfare expenditure and provide for study of lhe Social Security program by an internal revenue commission.

Thompson (above), president of New Orleans federal land bank, was nominated by President Truman to head the Price Decontrol Board established under the revived OPA. Helicper Plant Called Feasible The proposed helicopter service be- tween Willow Run Airport and De- troit awaits development of a larger helicopter before the project can be declared practicable. 4 Experiments' with two three-pas- senger and pilot helicopters com- pleted last month, were declared "en- tirely satisfactory" by D. B. Kirk, spokesman for the Greyhound Bus Lines, which are considering the new service. . The plan is quite feasible, accord- ing to Kirk, but will probably not go into action until the larger helicop- ter is developed. Igor Sikorsky, Kirk said, is now working on -the type which may ultimately be used. Sikorsky, the inventor of the heli- copter, witnessed the Greyhound practice tests early this month. WASHINGTON, July 30-(J)-Bri- tain's Field Marshal Lord Wilson dis- closed today that the final decision for the 1944 invasion of southern France came just five days before it struck. With troop and supply ships al- ready loading for the long-planned assault,*the combined chiefs of staff over-ruled the idea of shifting the whole thing to Brittany in western France. The rapid sweep in the North had brought up the possibility at the last minute that an unopposed jump- off into Brittany might be mote pro- fitable. Go-Ahead Came Aug. 10 Wilson, then General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, supreme Allied Commander inthe Mediterranean, recounted in .a report to the com- bined chiefs that their go-ahead came on Aug. 10 and that the Allied assault on the Riveria was launched on Aug. 15. In two weeks the Germans were almost completely swept from south- ern France. Wilson had suggested in June a drive through northern Italy would be more effective, the report related. But General Dwight D. Eisenhower's view ultimately prevailed that Mar- seilles must be taken to provide addi- tional port capacity to support the decisive Battle of France. Wilson's report, a 20,000-word doc- ument released through the War De- partment, sheds new light on the high-level strategic planning. Among his disclosure were: Clark First Choice 1. Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark, then American Fifth'Army commander in Italy, was Eisenhower's first choice to command the southern France operation. Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch, who since has died, later was chosen. 2. General DeGaulle and General Giraud urged that a French'general command the expedition, but were overruled since the three assault di- visions were American, and language and command difficulties might cause complications. 3. Several times preparations for the invasion were cancelled outright chiefly because of the demands of the Italian campaign and the shortage of shipping to transport an expedition of some 250,000 men. Lee To Speak on Handicapped Children Today The Exceptional Child Below Six Years of' Age will be discussed by John Lee, Dean of the Graduate School of Wayne University at 3 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Lee has been active for years in the field of special education for the handicapped child. The exceptional child, in Lee's field is one who does not have requirements that would enable him to fit in with other chil- dren. Lee, who has been making an in- tensive study of the problem of the handicapped child, is the best known sponsor of legislation for the edu- cation of the handicapped child in Michigan. Legislation sponsored by Lee establishes training schoolstfor the handicapped all over the state. When a minimum number of such children gather at a school, a special teacher qualified to teach the speech handicapped is hired. The teacher's salary is then paid by the State De- partment of Public Instruction, the Division of special education. The Department of Special Edu- cation also finances training of the orthopedically handicapped, the blind, the deaf and the hard of hearing, epileptics and cardiac pa- tients. Lee is past president of the Inter- national Council for exceptional chil- dren, and was general advisor in special education at Wayne Univer- sity, and in the Detroit public school system.

(Continued on Page 4) Today and Thursday DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID with Paulette Goddard Burgess Meredith, Hurd Hatfield and STRANGE IMPERSONATION with Brenda Marshall Willima Gargan Referring to Britain's recent prob- lems in Palestine and India, Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of the historya department, said that "there's one sure remedy for a headache and that's decapitation." Speaking in his regular Tuesday afternoon lectures on current events, Prof. Slosson pointed out that Brit- ain is unable to use this method because she is bound to her respon- sibililies after having assumed them. Eiven if Britain did leave, the basic problem of war in India and Pales- tine, would still remain. The latest British proposal for the settlement of the Palestinian prob- lem, one which divides the country up into three parts, the Trans-Jordan for the Arabs, Jerusalem for the British, and a northwestern area, nat larger than Rhode Island, for the Jews, had the unusual effect of unit- ing the Arabs and the Jews in a joint denunciation, Prof. Slosson said. The essence of Britain's difficulty in India, he declared, is that the Hindu majority wants a united In- dia, while the Moslem League, the most articulate, if not the most repre- sentative of the Moslem minority, de- mands Pakistan, a separate Moslem state. This seems to present a hopeless picture, but it has its own remedies, stated Prof. Slosson. He suggested that the problem be handed over to the United Nations Organization for a solution which Britain alone could not find. The enormous omission on the pre- sent Paris Peace Conference agenda, Prof. Slosson said, is the outlining of the treaties with Germany and NotthMain Opposite Court House !r ctwrc i0tmOdern G Japan. The United States has pro- posed an economic merger with any and all of the occupational forces in Germany. This has met with ap- proval by the British, approval with reservations from the French, and no answer from the Russians. The greatest difficulty in the decision of Germany's future, declared Prof. Slosson arises not from misgovern- ment, but from four different types of government which amount to mis- government. ~~i~~ii1 r4 !
