WHAT COMES
AFTER PWA?
IS QUERY
Pensions for Stock Market
Victims, Job Insurance,
Among Plans Studied

What fate awaits the 4,00O,-
600 persons being hired by
the CWA when their jobs ex-
pire February Is?
Will they be abruptly dis
charged and so confront the ma
ton with the greatest social and
economic program of all time, or
will means be found to keep half
or all of them at work?
Job Insurance Seen
This is the program at which
economists are shaking a warning
finger today and which faces wor-
ried executives of the Civil Works
Administration.
In the opinion of persons close
to Federal relief affairs the ans
wer lies in launching. a Federal
employment insurance program
greater in significance and scope
than any emergency measure yet
resorted to by the present Admin
istration.
Already relief administrators
are working on two plans, it is re-
ported. Under one, elderly per-
sons, especially those impover-
ished blythe stock market crash
of 1929, would receive old age
pensions of from SIS to $40 a
month.
Permanent Plan Studied
Under the second plan per-
manent Civil oWrks board would
substitute work for outright relief
to physically sound unemployed.
The projects would be spread
over a period of many years, be
of nationwide Importance. and
kept free of political manipula-
tons.
Both plans, it is believed, are
rapidly crystalizing and though
guarded jealousy by the Admins
tration will be presented to Con-
gress by President Roosevelt soon
after it convenes in January.
