BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS Social Security Hearing Opened By House Group President's Plan For Wider Coverage Is at Issue WASHINGTON (AP) The House Ways and Means Committee scheduled kickoff hearings today on President Eisenhower's request to increase social security benefits, taxes and coverage with most members predicting general approval. A scrap was indicated, however, over some points. Some doctors, lawyers and farmers oppose the President's proposal that they be brought under the system. And Democrats planned to drive to pro- vid monthly benefits for disabled workers under feature left out of the Eisenhower program. Eisenhower made his recommendations to Congress Jan.

14 for far-reaching- changes in the social security system. The current hearings deal only with old age retirement and survivors' benefits. Another part of the President's changes in direct federal welfare grants to states for the will come up later. Increase Proposed For some six million retired workers or their survivors already receiving benefits, Eisenhower proposed a minimum $5 increase in monthly payments. The minimum for a single retired worker would be boosted from $25 to $30; the maximum from $85 to $98.50.

The minimum for a retired couple would be boosted from $37.50 to $45; the maximum from $127.50 to $147.75. Maximum family benefits, applying mostly to survivors of an insured worker, would be increased from $168.75 to $190. For workers retiring in the future, maximums would up to $108.50 for a single worker and 1612.75 for a retired couple. Workers and employers each now contribute 2 cent of payrolls up to a year for each employe. Under the Eisenhower proposal, they would contribute on payrolls up to a year.

This would amount to -a $12 a year tax boost for those making $4,200 or more. The present law calls for a gradual stepup in the tax rate to 3y 4 per cent for employes, per cent for self-employed persons in 1970 and thereafter. Eisenhower's proposal would make these rates 3y per cent and 1 per cent. News of Men In the Service Sgt. Clinton w.
