The House Ways and Means Committee reached all but final agreement on a flat 7 per cent boost in old age and disability payments, with a minimum $3 increase for all persons now receiving retirement checks.

For those workers not yet at retirement age, it would mean deduction of up to $25.50 more a year from their take-home pay because of a one-quarter per cent hike in the Social Security tax and enlargement of their taxable wage base from $4,200 to $4,800. The committee reached informal agreement on the benefit hike and an accompanying tax increase after rejecting a proposal for a flat 10 per cent raise in benefits. Some members, however, were hopeful the Senate would change House figures to bring the increase near the 10 per cent level. Chairman Wilbur D.

One squad of guards lounged on a strategic roof, and the talk soon turned to the American forces in Lebanon. Someone mentioned that 16 American planes had been shot by smallarms fire from rebels near Tripoli, in north Lebanon. "Saeb Salam has ordered us not to shoot at those planes," one of the guards said.

"Otherwise the Marines would soon learn that Basta boys can shoot too." These men have cleared pro-government snipers out of their own area and have consolidated their positions. They have strict orders from Salam not to shoot unless absolutely necessary, both to save ammunition and to avoid provoking incidents. The area is much quieter now than during the riotous early days of the rebellion, when pitched battles were daily occurrences.

One of the things that top U.S. officials dislike about the whole project is that it would also give him an unparalleled forum for airing his charges of aggression in the Middle East against this country and Britain and peddling Soviet peace propaganda.
