By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (AP) Congress sent President Nixon last night legislation for a 20 per cent Social Security benefit increase biggest in history despite warnings Nixon is considering a veto.

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 S3, an effort to substitute a 10 per rent raise. The While House said Nixon was not expected to art nn the measure last night because of the late hour the printed measure was to reach there.

Some action or comment was expected today. The House acted despite warnings from two Republican spokesmen Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin and Under Secretary John d. Veneman of the Health, Education and Welfare Departmentthat Nixon is considering vetoing an increase of that magnitude.

But Sen. Russell B. Long, 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 and raise the lax load on business and workers. The 20 per rent 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 1D73 and again in 1974 to pay "for the increase. The Social Security boost, sponsored by Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, was added to a hill extending for four months the present $45l)-billion national debt ceiling. The full bill passed 78 to 3.

The ceiling was to drop to $400 billion at midnight yesterday, 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 9'4 hours from bankruptcy." Refore adopting the Church rider, the Senate rejected fifi to 20 a Republican substitute which called for a 10 per cent Social Security hike.

Reagan personally urged Republican lawmakers yesterday to vote for a compromise $1.2 billion tax reform program that, would cut about $120 a year from the property tax bill of the average California homeowner. The Republican governor emerged from a rare half-hour long session with Assembly Republicans and told waiting reporters the plan worked out with Democratic Speaker Bob Moretti is "the best effort" at tax reform in his six years in office.
