There was a young peace immense It raged throughout world quite intense; So Franklin Delano As doubtless yon mano, enlarging oar plans for defense. The Merry Go Round Drew Pearson By Robert Allen Social security revision planned "to combat "funny money" schemes.

Lowered age limit, extra benefits for wives, children considered. WASHINGTON Although nothing has been said publicly, Administration and business leaders both have decided that the existing old age pension system will have to be broadened next Congress if the mounting tide of "funny money" schemes is to be stopped. Privately, New Dealers and business interests are much disturbed by the spread of these movements. Business men fear them as an economic menace, politicians as a danger both economic and political. Drastic revision of the present law is secretly planned on the theory that a stitch in time will save nine.

First step will be taken this Friday when the Advisory Council on Social Security, made up of employers, labor and public leaders, meet to act on a group of far reaching amendments prepared by subcommittees. These proposals, which definitely show the effect of pension movement pressure, are as follows: 1. To Increase benefit payments so that both man and wife receive annuities. That is, if the husband is entitled to $50 a month his wife will receive an additional $25 a month as long as she lives. While both are alive they would have a Joint income of $75 monthly.

2. If the wife is entitled to a pension of her own, she would have the choice between hers and half of the husband's annuity, whichever gave her the larger income, 3. The widow of a pensioner, upon reaching the age of 65, would receive 75 per cent of the monthly benefit her husband would have been paid had he lived. 4. Life pensions to those suffering total disability at the same rate they would have received had they contributed up to the aye of 65.

5. Monthly benefits payments for the dependent children of annuity holders who die before 65. TO better the lot of oldsters not in the contributory system, new proposals are being drafted at the order of President Roosevelt by the Social Security Board, in collaboration with Chairman Robert Douahton and Representative John Dingell of the House Wavs and Means Committee. To expedite legislative action, a special Ways, and Means subcommittee will begin hearings early in December so that a bill will be ready when Congress convenes in January. The Administration's chief revisions are: 1.

Increase the" present federal contribution for the aged from $15 to $20 a month. This would permit the states to add a similar sum and boosting pensions to a maximum of $40 monthly. 2. Lower the age limit from 65 to 60 years, thus making eligible hundreds of thousands of needy who are excluded by the present law. 3.

Increase the federal contribution for indigent children from one third to one half. This would equalize state and federal (rrants. To aid the battle against "funny Doushton, in whose committee all pension legislation must originate, will shortly make a nation wide radio speech denouncing the Townspnd plan and $30 every Thursday movement. JUSTICE Department prosecutors have some real surprises up their sleeves in the trial of the American Medical Association and the district of Columbia Medical Society for violation of the Sherman Anti Trust Act. The two medical organizations which are affiliated are charged with operating a monopoly and discriminating unfairly against members of the Group Health plan.

One sensational piece of evidence in the hands of the Justice Department is the case of a Wash ineton woman whose husband was afflicted with appendicitis. When she took him to a hospital she found that none would admit him. merely because she had a contract with the Group Health Association. After making the frantic rounds of every hospital in the District of Columbia, and with her husband's appendix about to burst, she finally was forced to pay $160 in cash in advance, and only after this was her husband admitted to a hospital. ANOTHER case which will be presented by the Justice Department is that of an Illinois doctor who previously had a contract with an employer to give medical attention to his workers.

After the expiration of this contract, the doctor signed a contract with a labor union to give its members medical attention. The contract with the labor union was identical with that signed by the employer.

Myrl Alderman, 30, in her luxurious hillside home last night but her first husband, Martin Snyder, 42, told officers he fired in self defense. "He to merely jealous," Miss Etting asserted. "He's not satis fled unless he's making trouble. He's threatened tr. kill me before and he even telephoned from Nev York once to threaten me." "He was shooting at me, so I shot at him," Snyder was quoted as saying by Pctertive 1 icut.

J. R. Stephens after questioning in city jail, where the theatrical booking agent is held on suspicion of kidnaping and attempted murder. Snyder's claim of self defense contrasted with other police reports, which asserted he forced Alderman at gunpoint to drive him to Miss Etting's home, there shot Alderman as he sat in a chair and was the target for shots fired by Miss Etting and his daughter, Edith Snyder, neither of which took effect. Desciibing what took place at the house, Miss Etting said: "He told us all to s't down.

Edith refused and he threatened to kill her. He shouted 'this is going to be the end of you Says Singer Threatened Alderman was shot, she continued, when he protested. "I was a little hysterical when I heard him threaten Miss Etting," said Miss Snyder, who is the singer's secretary. "I shot at him to pro tect her." Alderman told Detective Lieut. E.

M. Johnston that he was forced into his car by Snyder at a broad casting studio where he is em ployed as a music arranger. "He told me he wanted to se Ruth and I'd better take him to the house or it would bo too bad for me," the victim added. "If? had a gun, so I flnajly took him there." Dr. S.

L. Pereik said the bullet penetrated the abdominal wall and that, barring local infection, he would recover. Aldermar, shortly after his re moval to the hospital, told report ers he and Miss Etting were married secretly in Tijuana, Lover California, last July 15. She she obtained an uncontested divorce in Chicaro last November from Snyder, 17 years after their marriage. Alderman was divorced in December from Alma Aldeiman, also radio singer.

16 (P) The Vienna edition of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hit ler's Voelkischer Beobachter raised the question today of "millions of marks" worth of Catholic church property in Austria which "it does not seem easy to socialize and in some way make useful to the community." The mark is valued at 40 cents. The newspaper in a fuli page attack said foundations and cloisters hold more property than "any layman, even more than the state." Its title was "Rich Churches Poor People" and the occasion was street collection day for the Xai party's worker relief fund. Coincident with the Nazi Catholic differences, which flared into a Nazi attack October 8 against the palace of Theodore Cardinal Innitzer and wounding of the cardinal, there ha.5 been a new wave of anti Semitism against the some 220.000 Jews who still remain in Vienna. Windows in 20 buildings synagogues, private dwellings and some stores operated by Jews were smashed in the past two nights. The interior of one small synagogue was demolished last night.
