Pantagraph A-7 Bloomington-Normal, III. Feb. 11, White paper rakes critics of Social Security need for future additional financing, "in any event, the size of the problem over the next 25 years is easily manageable and certainly does not constitute a financial crisis." The white paper does not suggest a source for the needed money. It said the funds could come from either general revenues or from increased Social Security taxes on middle and higher income workers, as the advisory council first agreed to recommend before taking the general revenue approach. day, who is counting on these benefits for his security in retirement and for the protection of his family in the meantime, planting seeds of unwarranted doubt is a cruelty." The payment of benefits is mandated bylaw and legally enforceable in court; Congress has done everything possible to assure that future legislators will not weaken that obligation, and the cash reserve trust funds are adequate for their purpose, the paper argued.

Though currrent inflation will create a short-range deficit, a move that almost certainly would mean income tax increases. "We may well await the recommendations of this council and ensuing congressional hearings on substantive changes in the system which are being widely debated," said the white paper. "But we should not wait to deai with irresponsible attacks on the soundness of the structure. "The most vicious of these attacks is the one charging that promised Social Security benefits may not be paid when they fall due 20 or 30 or 40 years hence. "To the worker, who is compelled to contribute from his earnings every pay- year-old social insurance system, it never names the critics.

But the paper comes just before the expected submission of a report to Congress by a statutory Social Security advisory council, which will contend that the trust funds, held in reserve for emergencies, face a $6 to $8 billion deficit in 1976. That report says the deficit will be caused by inflation and larger future deficits will occur because benefits over the long range will be paid out faster than worker payroll contributions are paid in. The sixth such council to investigate the system since 1938, it will recommend within a couple of weeks that Congress dip into general revenues to make up the Institution of Great Value," was signed by five former secretaries of Health, Education and Welfare and three former Social Security commissioners. The former HEW secretaries were Elliot Richardson and Robert Finch, who both served in the Nixon administration; John Gardner, Common Cause chairman, and Wilbur Cohen, instrumental in the development of Medicare, both under President Johnson, and Arthur Fleming, an Eisenhower appointee who is now President Ford's commissioner on aging. The former commissioners who participated were Charles Schottland, William Mitchell and Robert Ball.

Though the paper takes to task those critics whom it accuses of making "destructive," "irresponsible" and sometimes "vicious" attacks on the nearly 40- WASHINGTON (UPI) The Social Security system is strong and healthy despite a long range need for additional financing, eight former government officers said today in a bipartisan white paper. "Attacks on the system designed to create doubts of its soundness and durability are a disservice to the nation," said the unprecedented defense of the program that provides monthly benefits to more than 30 million retired and disabled persons and survivors of workers. It said there would be enough money to continue payments through the rest of the century' and it was cruel of Social Security criticsspeed skating backwise.
