N2  - Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, February 28, introduced a bill to carry into effect the recommendations of the Interdepartmental Committee to Coordinate Health and Welfare Activities, appointed by the President in August 1935. The bill, S. 1620, was referred to the Senate Committee on Education and Labor.1 Although the bill is actually an amendment to the Social Security Act, the bill proposes that if it is enacted it be called the "National Health Act of 1939."The Social Security Act imposes pay roll taxes to finance the payment of the old age benefits and unemployment compensation provided for by the act, but it imposed no taxes to pay for the other federal aid it provided, such as maternal and child health services, public health services, child welfare services, and services for crippled children. The cost of the services last named is paid for from the general revenues
