The result would be the opening of a "window" through the ozone in the stratosphere which scrapping the project, and the Senate concurred, 51-46. But the House reversed itself again last week, converting a $85.3 million item in a supplemental appropriations bill for SST contract termination costs into an appropriation to continue the program. The Senate Appropriations Committee quickly concurred.

A UPI check Monday showed SST foes in the Senate should have an eight or nine-vote margin when the vote comes late Wednesday on whether to join the House in rescuing the controversial project.

The senate rejected the SST by 11 votes in December, but was forced to give in to the" House and approve continued development of the jetline until spring.

SEN. HUBERT H. HUMPHREY, addressing the California legislature today, called for creation of a regional system of regional White House ambassadors to help cut through federal red tape.

By establishing a $2,400 income floor for families of four, the federal government would take on a bigger share of the nation's welfare costs. Mills said the measure 'would make it harder to get on welfare and easier to get off.

The proposed Social Security benefit increase next year would impose no immediate payroll tax hikes beyond those already contained in the measure to pay for the boost passed earlier this year. The bill provides for automatic increases whenever the-cost of living exceeds 3 per cent which, under economic projections, would occur Jan. 1, 1973, Mills said. But another provision would put off the automatic increase until 1974 if the 5-per-cent raise is enacted. "It simply means increasing benefits six or seven months earlier than they would go up anyhow," the chairman said.

WASHINGTON (AP) Easy House passage is in sight for a combination Social Security benefit increase and President Nixon's welfare reform plan. At least this is the opinion of Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee which cleared the. way Monday for a House vote on the measure.

The bill voted out by committee Monday provided a 5 per cent across-the-board increase in Social Security benefits as well as the basics of the Nixon welfare revision "I have been assured by the President himself that the-administration is in full support of this bill," Mills said. Although President Nixon would have preferred not to have the benefit increases tied to welfare, Mills the $12-billion legislation has bipartisan backing and should clear the House easily. The estimated benefit boost would take effect June 1, 1972, on the heels Summer Radiator Service. Steak Knife with fill-up.
