Ret Toa {rowing With Prosperity
Continued Growth Of Load - Predicted
By JAMES DANIEL Seripps-Howard Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, July 14— Maybe the country is enjoying that burst of prosperity which employment and in-| «ome figures would seem to
indicate, but you wouldn't know it from the number of people on public relief.
By the latest figures of the Social Security Administration, the number of people receiving public assistance is substantially] § higher than it was last summer.| § Moreover, the long-range prospects are that the relief rolls will continue to grow. At the end of the summer of 1950 there were \§,564,000 Americans’ receiving one form or another of public assistance. Last May there were 5,847, 000 Amerfcans on relief. Between times, Congress raised the scale of old age and survi-| BT vors’' insurance payments, which : . | § was supposed to make it possible TWO IN AIR—Duke Miller, Phoenix, Ariz., instructor in the for more retired persons to Ret ‘ooond annual baton-twirling summer course given at Jordan Col-

But Congress also created a new category of public assistance cases to whose support the federal government can contribute— the totally and permanently disabled. This was in addition to thg - “three previous categories— the aged, the dependent children| and the blind. | And Congress also voted to add ederal funds to the relief checks ' Dhich the states pay to parent or guardian of those dependent children who already were eligible for federal aid. The result of these changes has been to produce a substantial decrease in the number of general relief cases whom the states 1 must look after without any help the federal government, Pith 3 on corresponding increase in the Trelief load of the federal governs ment. Over all * the total number of persons on relief continues stead{ly upward. In a recent speech to social workers, W. L.
