The Senate action came in tbe face of a warning by President that such an increase would either strain the economy or push taxes up for millions of workers.

The increase was added as a rider to a bill extending for four months the present 5450- biilion national debt ceiling. The amendment, sponsored by Sen. Frank Church. B-Idaho, also would raise payroll taxes in 1973 and, further in 1974 to pay for the boost. In addition, it would put into effect for the first time automatic cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security.

Church amendment would provide $8.5 billion in annual additional benefits for the 27.8 million recipients, the largest increase since the system was first set up in 1935. The effective date for the 29 per cent would be Sept. 1 so that it first would be reflected in checks received Oct. 3. a month before the presidential national elections.

The debt limit legislation was expected to clear the Senate by mid-day and go back to the House. There Republican leaders were threatening to block any action on the 20 per cent today although they said they might be willing to take 10 per cent cent. The adoption of the Church amendment represented a Senate decision to lift the general Social Security increase out of the Social Secarity- WeMare bill which passed the House last year and which has been pending more than 12 months in tae Senate Finance Committee. Church said it appeared the bitter controversy over welfare reform in the bill might never be settled so that it was neces- sary for Congress to go ahead on the across-the-board Social Security hike. The House ia.

The House last week approved the budget with S150 million in cuts. About two hours before the Senate defeated the budget the House voted 140-50 bo provide $152 million for flood re- cox cry programs.

GEORGE McGOVERN By GREGG HERRINGTON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Comparing U.S. bombing of Indochina to Hitler's campaign to exterminate Jews. George McGovem says President Nixon has boxed himself in on the Vietnam war. even if ne ends it by election day. If Nixon can end the war by November be could have stopped it during his first months in the White House, the South Dakota senator said an interview with The Associated Press.

That "should be clear to every American above the level of first-grader's intelligence." McGovern, the favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination, alsc said in a interview: Demo- cratic Son. Henry M. Jackson of Washington is among those being left behind by party's shifting center; McGovern's new welfare and tax-reform plan w.ll benefit most Americans earning betveen $4.000 and 520,000 per year, and he is boning up on monetary and economic issues. Here are the questions and answers: Q. What ara your chances ot beating President Nixon? A.

I think defeating men like Ed Muskie, Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace for the nomination is a much more complicated and difficult task than it will be defeat Nixon in the fall, where the issues can be more sharply drawn. Even assuming the President ends the war by election day, it should be clear to every American above the level a first- grader's intelligence that he's timed that for political purposes, that he's accomplishing nothing new that he cou'dn't have accomplished the first few months he was in office. Q. Is there no way then that the President can avoid those charges from you, regardless of what happens in the war? A. There's no way.
