BY ]. A. FOX.

A growing arm O. tt g old, the young
and the blind is receiving direct aid
under the Federal social security pro-
gram, just now rounding out its
first year.
For the first II months of the op-
Grafton of the social security act-up
to the middle of January-more than
Sl09,000,000 was spent to help the
INDECENT aged, dependent children and
sightless, the respective totals. in
round figures. being s92 1853, 900, $ll,-
OIL 900 and S4,290,000.
For the new fiscal year, starting
! July l next, Congress has voted S2l4.-
100000 for these three items. the old
age assistance fund going to $50. .000,-
600, child help to s54,600,000 and
blind aid to $40 1000 900. in comparison
with a grand total of sl28,000.00 for
the current year.
The independent Offices bill con-
tanning the Social Security Board ap-
preparation is still in conference. but
these particular allotments went by
both House and Senate as asked by
the boardD
Many States Qualify.
The great increase is taking place
in the ranks of the old-age pensioners,
where more than three-fourths of the
States already have qualified for Fed
eral grants-in-aid by adopting plans
sanctioned by the Social Security
Board. Other States are expected to
fall in line. All of the State rolls
are increasing.
For example, last April 26 States
and the District Of Columbia reported
about $4,000 recipients of oid-age
assistance. With dozen more States
added, the lists were more than doubled
by September. This situation was
anticipated when the Government en-
barked on this venture, but the ulti-
mate obligation is still matter Of
speculation.
A compensating factor will enter
the scene five years hence, when old
age benefit payments are started
from the fund now being built up by
contributions of employed and en-
ployer. But, as the Committee on
Economic Security reported to the
President two years ago. With an
increasing and even more rapidly
increasing percentage Of the aged, the
cost of supporting old persons will be
heavy load on future generations,
regardless of any legislation that may
be enacted"
Bureau Sees Shortage.
The Federal portion of this type of
aid equals one-half of khe State ex-
penditure up to $50 monthly per per-
son, plus an additional per cent
of the Government grant for admin
istration or assistance. And even with
the $15O.000,0 900 in sight for the COM
ing year-a figure insisted upon by
the Budget Bureau-the Social Sc
curity Board believes it will run
short.
At a House Appropriations SUBJ
committee hearing, when the board
defended its needs in prepared state
ment, it was pointed out that the
Census Bureau estimated that on
January /, 1888, the total number
of persons in the United States who
had reached the age of IS and We're
potentially eligible for payments would
be 1888, 900. The board figured that
20 per cent, or nearly 100000 Of
these, would go on the rolls. The
Budget Bureau stuck to an estimate
of 1877 per cent, which amounts to
slightly more than 1.250,000.
The board faces an apparent deficit
in the current year, expenditures for
Evening star., 1937-02-28

at $25 monthly. Of which the Fed
eral share, Of course, Is $3.50.
As has been said, this State-aid
program has been only partially in
effect in the past year, some States
getting in early and others still be-
ing in the qualifying stage. For 1898.
however, estimates are based on 100
per cent coverage.
And to this bill must be added
general overhead. including the
money States get toward administer
ing the unemployment compensation
for which industry Is taxed; mater
nal and child welfare grants to the
States through the Labor Depart
ment; vocational rehabilitation by the
Interior Department, and the cost Of
public health activities conducted by
the Treasury-all viewed as part of
the vast social security pattern.
Conservatively, it shapes up as bet
ter than a quarter -billion-d dollar prop
osition annually right at the outset.

Today commission counsel, Prof
A. Foras of Yale Law School, ques-
toned Sigfried Hartman, formerly
connected with the Colby committee,
in an effort to show all holders of
the debentures had not Jared as well
as those paid at face value.
1t was brought out that Kreutoll
Realization Co., corporate vehicle for
various protective committees in
liquidating the bankrupt estate of
Kreuger & Toll, had realized for
debenture holders S1s389 per $1,000
face value of claims. Previously there
had been two payments TO holders
of the debentures of about s25 per
$1,000, the testimony indicated.
Eugene Untermyer. counsel for the
Colby committee for time, was
asked whether there had been any
agreement between the committee and
Hartman, who had resigned from the
Colby group to become counsel for
the trustees for the debentures, the
Marine Midland Trust Co.. that the
payment of certain claims at face
value should not be disclosed.
Untermyer told Foras there was no
such agreement. His testimony con-
cluded the New York phase of the
hearings.

Pensions Vested in States.
Discussing this point at the .ubcom-
mite hearing. Frank Bane, executive
director of the board, pointed out that
the right to de- rhine the number
of persons who are in need and the
pension per capita is vested in each
State. although the Government limits
its contribution to SIS monthly.
"The percentage of persons held
eligible in the various States-that
is persons over 65 years of age" he
said, ranges from about per cent
to more than 35 per cent Many
States have had large waiting lists
of eligible applicants who have not
yet received assistance. At the pres
ent rate of increase in the number
Of recipients. it seems entirely pos
sible that 20 per cent of the aged
population will be receiving assistance
| by July, 1898. Thus to base the
request upon the assumption that
1877 per cent will receive assistance
seems conservative. just as We told you
last year We thought s85,00O,00O was
a very conservative figure"
l. 1t was explained, too. that the
monthly pension for 1888 is being
figured on minimum basis of sl9,
which would entail an average pay
ment of $3.50 by the Government.
1t has been ranging around $3.50,
although payments vary widely, Mis-
sissippi, for instance, allowing 1892,
and California, $3l 36.
$35,0O0.000 for Child Aid.
For the fiscal year 1887. the appro-
priation for child aid was $35,O0O,O00
and for blind. s8,000,oo0. and to Judge
by expenditures for the first. six
months, surplus would be left when
July rolls around. However. the story
is like that of the pensions-addi-
tional States are coming in with ap-
proved plans that allow them to share
in the Federal disbursement: the num-
ber of eligibles is increasing, and in
