$20 Million Welfare Fund for State Cut Off by Ewing

By DAN KIDNEY Times Staff Writer.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 1,

1951 :

WASHINGTON, “Aug. 1 — Fed-| ©

car R. (Jack) Ewing today cut

off all federal funds to Indiana ¥

for the aged, blind and dependent children, These grants-in-aid amounted to $20,796,534 for the calendar year 1950. They were $1,272,435 during July of this year. The, cut-off is retroactive to July 20, when Gov. Henry F. Schricker declared the 1951 Indiana statutes in effect. In a statement issued night, Mr. Ewing follawed lagt advice of federal seeurity admin-| istration attorneys and held that] the new welfare publicity law en-| acted by the Indiana Legislature violates social security law secrecy) provisions.

‘Requires Public Resord Therefore, Mr. Ewing held; he! had no other recourse but to cut off the federal funds. . The law, which provides that a public-record of all welfare payments must be available at

each county auditor’s office, was Scricke May passed over Democratic Governor ea that the new Indiana law penalizes the use of welfare informa-

tion for publicity or political use and therefore is within the requirements laid down by the federal statutes. He cited the lien law governing old age pensions as a case in point,

Cites 1939 Law Mr. Ewing cited the 1939 So-

cial Security « law - amendments which prohibit access to welfare

information to anyone not directly connected with: welfare, .administration and said the Indiana statute definitely violates this. . While the new staté law has go-called “safeguards,” it pro-

vides no criminal ‘penalties - for disclosure, Mr. Ewing déclared. The Ewing ruling, cutting off the Indiana funds, is expected to give impetus to passage of the Jenner and. Brownson amendments to wipe out the secrecy

- provisions of the Social Security

Jaw, The amendment. offered by Sen. William 'E. Jenner (R: Fmd.) already his been approved by thé Senate twice. After it was struck from the labor and FSA ‘appropriwfions- Bill in conference, it was voted on to the measure which raises payments to the aged $3 per month and’ now awaits House approval. : “In the House, Kep. Charles B. Brownson, Indianapolis Republican,’ long has had a similar proposal pending.

Calls Ewing Dictator Sen. Jenner, informed of the ruling, called Mr, Ewing a ‘‘so-cialistic-minded dictator” with’ “a federal gard for the welfare of our aged and needy citizens.” He accused Mr, Ewing of de-

whieh {8 needed for distribution under the Social Security law. The Senator defended the state legislature for not the “dictates, of this ‘federal Bbureaucrat.”

Mr. Ewing's record with Con-'

; gress could give impetus to prompt

approval. Twice welfare department reorganization plans of President Truman have been rejécted by Congress when it was whispered that Mr. Ewing, a native Hoosier turned New York politician, ‘would be raised to Cabinet rank.

Mr. Ewing Regrets

Mr. Ewing opened his statement by expressing regret at having to cut Indiana off and closed:

“If the State of Indiana wishes §

to appeal to the courts from this

decision, I will do everything pos-| §

gible to expedite the ppoceeding. Since the state would Ye a party to such proceeding the state may wish to ask the United States Su-| preme Court to permit a direct! appeal to that court. If- no ‘appeal is taken, then so far as I can see, the only way that Indiana can again receive federal moneys, for these assistance programs will be for Congress. to make appropriate amendments in

the federal law or for the Indiana

Legislature to amend its laws so| as to provide the safeguards re-| quired by the federal statute.”
