of healthy, able-hodied men, because they refuse to take care - of them.” More than 50 husbands are now listed as fugitives in our criminal courts. Nearly 200 more are being investigated by the ‘prosecutor's office, and will pay up support! money or be charged in criminal Soyst with. desertion or nonsup:| po “We are investigating them as fast as we can, but we are going to get action,” Mr. Dailey said. .~ Now Have Funds “In the past,” he said, “we have : been handicapped by a lack of money. Now we have $1000 a month to operate on, and when we locate a husband who refusés to take care of his family, we are going to extradite him and go to trial,” A new plan had been instituted between the _prosecutor’s office and the welfare department
whereby some payments of theld
county will be cut down. John C. Mueller,; welfare director, explained the plan: “When we run into a case where - we think the husband can pay partial support, but does not, we turn it over to the prosecutor, and he either pays what he can or . is brought into court.
“This 1 = | 18 sould Sut. 4. n some! hells will precede a band con-
payments considerably, and save the county a lot of money,” Mr. Mueller added. “A new law in 10-states makes it easier to bring these husbands to justice,” Mr. Dailey said. “When we locate the husband in one. of these states, we go into court here and hear the evidence, and the court makes an order for him to pay support. “Then we send the order to the court nearest him. Then that court orders him in, and tells him of the’ order of our court, and
pay. Then if he does not pay, he is in contempt of the court in the other state, and they can deal ¢ with him,” Mr, Dailey said. E » 3000 Pay ” In the meantime more than 3000 husbands pay more than $980,000 a month in support money -through the county clerk. The clerk’s office just acts as a go-between and the money is turned directly over to the beneficiary. « This does not include support payments tha! may be made from one’ person directly to another. . Payments into the clerk's office range irom £1 to $100 a month. An average of 3867 children a month have received child aid thus far this year. Not all of these children receive aid as a result of a “wayard father,” but the majority do. 6050 in 1951 It is estimated that the figure will reach an average of 6050 children a month receiving aid-dur-ing late 1951. Welfare workers. attribute. the increase in child aid to fact that jobs for women are becoming more scarce and that the number of broken homes is increasing. Norman Blue, deputy prosecutor in charge of domestic relations, pointed out some’ case histories -that-démonstrate- the function of his office. There is the case of the painter.
