Democrats, however, discounted this possibility. The bill also contains urgently needed authority for Treasury borrowing and provisions for tax relief for flood sufferers. After an 82-4 Senate vote on the Social Security provision, the House followed suit, 302 to 35. Earlier, it defeated, 253 to 83, an effort to substitute a 10 per cent raise. The White House said Nixon was not expected to act on the measure Friday night because of the late hour the printed measure was to reach there.

Some action or comment was expected Saturday. Immediately after the vote, the House adjourned until July 17 for the Fourth of July holiday and the Democratic National Convention. The House acted despite warnings from two Republican spokesmen Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin and Under Secretary John G.

Veneman of the Health, Education and Welfare Departmentthat Nixon is considering vetoing an increase of that magnitude. But Sen. Russell B. scouted the possibility and said "a veto would be overriden in short order." The 82-4 Senate vote for the Social Security boost came despite a warning from President Nixon it would strain the economy or raise the tax load on business and workers. The 20 per cent increase, if it becomes law, will be effective Sept.

1 and be paid for the first time in September checks due on Oct. 3, a month before the national elections. Payroll taxes would be increased for the worker, employer and self-employed in 1973 and again in 1974 to pay for the increase. The Social Security boost, sponsored by Sen. Frank Church, was added to a bill extending for four months the present $450-billion national debt ceiling.

The full bill passed 78 to 3. The ceiling was to drop to $400 billion at midnight Friday, unless the extension was signed into law by then. Since the debt is about $427 billion, this could cause the government some embarrassment. During the debate, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Long, declared: "The government is now only 9 hours from bankruptcy." (Additional details page 2.) Day of 85 Forecast Two more days like yesterday clear skies and warm temperatures are predicted for the weekend in the Salem area, say the McNary Field weathermen. Highs today and Sunday are expected to reach 85, with the low tonight near 50.

The high Friday was 84. Coastal weather is expected to be fair today and Sunday with some local night and morning fog. Small craft warnings will be out as northerly winds are predicted to gust over 20 to 39 knots. Copter View Brig. Gen.

They won a U.S. District Court ruling two weeks ago that the Democratic party's guidelines for selecting convention delegates violated Illinois election laws. A federal appellate court declined to hear the case until the committee had acted. Daley attorneys said they would petition for a hearing in the Circuit Court of Appeals as soon as possible.

The challenge to the Daley delegation was based on the party's new delegate-selection rules, which require states to provide adequate representation for women, youths and minority interests on their delegations.

Guards Air Complaints Over Security Problems, Pay By CHARLES BEGGS Statesman Capitol Reporter State legislators were told Friday that drugs and lack of security training for guards are among the biggest problems in state correctional institutions.

The testimony came at the first hearing of a special committee of five legislators at the Capitol. Legislative leaders named the panel to look into complaints of prison staffers following a fatal stabbing ot a Penitentiary guard last April. Cpl. W. W.

Eatherly, a corrections officer at Oregon Correctional Institute, said that employes get training in the "philosophy of change" in corrections, but no practical instruction "on our number one priority, staying alive." He said that drugs now are the biggest single problem at OCI, and added that most employes are not trained to detect dangerous drugs possessed by inmates. "Out of 99 officers at OCI, I would venture to say not 10 of them would know a joint of marijuana if they fell on it." He said guards are not adequately trained in self- defense, and are badly underpaid besides. While state police officers can earn up to $1,052 a month, the top range for a corrections officer in a similar position is only $688, he said. Eatherly said the lawmakers and other officials overlook the importance of guards, while they can be "the most significant" factor in dealing with convicted criminals. He said that communications between employes and administrators at OCI has greatly improved since the controversy following the April stabbing, and that discipline and security measures have been changed for the better.

Officials of the Oregon State Employes Association also testified, saying that more manpower and more money are needed for the kind of corrections program the state wants. "We are trying to carry on a Cadillac program on a Pinto budget," OSEA Executive Secretary Thomas En-right told the committee. (Additional details page 5.).
