Jackson, department director, said today This is an increase of approximately $2,000,000, Mr Jackson said The rise has kept pace with | estimates of State officials who anticipated it to meet the increased drain on the treasury as a result of the reduction in the age limit for Old Age Assistance The Old Age reduction will necessitate an increased budget of £2.000,000, Public Welfare officials have predicted. The drop in age limit from 70 to 65 became effective July 1 Revenue for the 1937-38 fiscal vear, which ended June 30, amounted to $22 42190755. The preceding vear's revenue amounted to $20,529,600 .54 Increased tax receipts also will enable the State to meet a 20 million dollar distribution of State funds in 1938 and thereafter to the schools and civil units of the State.

Mr. Roosevelt's speech will he his third major one in 24 hours In addition, he spoke informally from the platform of his train in Louisville, Elizabethtown and Bowling Green, Ky. each time giving ene dorsement. to Senator Barkley as he had in his major speech yesterday afternoon in Covington where Governor Chandler sat, smiling, on the platform while the President | extolled Mr. Barkley as a man be- | loved by all the country From a stand in the middle of the Latonia race track at Covinge ton, the President told 50,000 listen « ers that while he was not interfering in the primary campaign and he had no doubt that Governor Chandler would make a good Senator, “it would take him many, many years to match the national know!= edge, the experience and the ace knowledged leadership in the affairs of our nation of that son of Kentucky, of whom the whole na= tion is proud, Alben Barkley.”

Cites U. S. Aid to Kentucky

To Governor Chandler's campaign slogan that he had balanced the state budget, Mr. Roosevelt said he had done it with Federal money “Your Governor,” he said.

And I say to him, and I say to vou. that have considered him a friend of mine, and that I think he has done a good job as the chief executive of the state.” Al the same time he discussed the New York State budget halanced this year by Governor Lehman When he was Governor of New York State, Mr. Roosevelt said “because I could get nn Ssnslance from Washington, 1 was compelled to create state deficits to put de State Treasury into the red in ore der to feed the destitute and give In order to care for the thousands of people who had become dependent on the State for food and shelter’ “And when I left Albanv” he said, “the deficit of the State of New York was nearly one hundred | million dollars.”

I do not need to tell you of his long experience in all of cur national problems. By virtue of of ability and seniority he serves on major committees which deal with major lege 1slation, and in addition to this, speaks with the voice of the ma Jor= ity leader, His outlook of affairs of Government is a liberal] outlook, “I have no doubt that Governor Chandler would make a good Sena-
