...days after election the U. S. Social Security Board made public its plans for registering workers and employers for the old-age pension tax. These plans called for delivery next week of registration blanks for employers, which must be filled in and returned before the week is out. The following week, blanks will be issued to some 26,000,000 employes, must be returned within two weeks...

...some 800 investment dealers throughout the land, American Telephone & Telegraph Co. last week sold $150,000,000 of 3¼% debentures, biggest single issue floated by any U. S. corporation under the Securities Act of 1933. Another $25,000,000 was sold to A. T. & T.'s pension trust fund. Though some of A. T. & T.'s operating subsidiaries have taken advantage of prevailing low money rates to refund their bonds, this was the parent company's first move to shave interest charges on its own $450,000,000 debt. Another $150,000,000 refunding issue...
