STATE TO TRIPLE

WELFARE ROLLS | BY JULY 1,1938

Extension of Aid Held Cause. 1

For Increase in Cost of Administration.

The doubling of Indiana county |

welfare administrative costs in the

next vear is due to the fact that!

welfare assistance will reach nearly three times as many persons by July 1, 1938, as when the State Board took over the work’s direction a sar ago, State Board officials said today. They said administrative costs would jump from slightly more than $500,00 to nearly $1,000,000 by July 1, 1938. But they pointed out these facts: The State Board cut off 6000 oldage pensioners from the list of 32,000 turned over to them by the counties in April, 1936, saving the State $1.125.000 during the last year through elimination of fraudulent entries.

Blind Aided Slightly

When the State took over, only old-age pensioners were being serv ed by counties and dependent children did not figure in the aid. The blind were aided only slightly, the State Board said. Then by June 30, 1937, the old-age pensioners’ list had been raised to 48.930, because the State Board was preparing for next year when the age limit drops from 70 to 65. A total of $5.639,889 was spent on old-age assistance up to June 30 this year. State officials said that average monthly payments by the counties had been $6.13, while it now is $15.43 under the State Board's supervision. Since the counties did no work on blind assistance 2270 names were added to the State's list, and $301.608 was spent on them. About 2500 are to be served by next year. Likewise, by next year, 66,000 oldage pensioners are expected to be on the State's list, thus necessitating more investigation because of the increase from the present figure of 48,930. When the State took over, there were 1200 on the dependent children list. That figure has since jumped vo 21,686, with a total of $1,112,312 spent during the past fiscal year. Thus, adding old-age pensioners, blind and dependent children’s assistance, the State has served 72,686 persons during the last year when the administrative budget was $367.000 Costs to Increase

Next year, when administrative | costs are expected to jump to nearly a million, 92,030 persons will be reached, officials said. This compares with the 32,000 oldage pensioners turned over to the State last year—about one-third of next year’s total. Assistance to these 92,030 means an estimated cost to the State for next year of $12,000,000, compared with $7,053,809 during the last year. Officials also claimed that the case load per visitor is being reduced

TRUCK QUESTION STILL SNARLED

Another Committee Named After Mayor’s Group Has Session.

Another committee has been appointed and the whole problem has been aired in a lengthy session, but the argument over a North Side route for trucks continued today. Truck representatives, police traffic experts, and Safety Board and City Council members and Earl Crawford, State Highway Commission chairman, met for five hours yesterday, but observers said this

Possible solutions were suggested at yesterday's meeting, and one

later rescinded. However, a subcommittee composed of the City Engineer, County Surveyor and a member of the State Highway Commission was appointed to work out a possible alternative route for truck traffic to replace the proposed one over Keystone Ave. which truckers contend is “unsafe.”

Residents to Be Called

Further, it was decided to call in representatives of College Ave. resi-

Truck drivers objected, and Mayor |:

‘Plain Murder,” Says Governor

Of Twin Lynching in Florida

By United Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. July 21.—Governor Cone ordered a “thorough investigation” today into the slaying of two Negroes by a mob. He

called it “plain murder.”

The bodies, hastily buried only a few hours after they had been found, were ordered exhumed. Surgeons will remove the bullets for possible use in tests to identify the pistols that fired them.

The Negroes were lynched because one was alleged to have stabbed Policeman J. Vernon Kelly when he attempted to arrest them last Sunday. They were taken from

the county jail by the four masked:

leaders of a small mob, driven several miles from town and killed.

An inquest into their deaths was held almost as quickly as the bodies were buried. Police Chief G. Powledge and Sheriff Frank Stoutamire testified that the lynching had “surprised” them. Policeman Harry Fairbanks, who surrendered the prisoners, said he had offered no resistance, but did ask the mob leaders if they knew what they were
