LEADER
SUGGESTS CHANGE
Miss Morss Says Plan of
'0ptiona' Payments Might
Be Better.

Abandonment Of at least part of
the Federal w. P. A. plan and sub
stitution of system OF Federal grants
in aid to the States and the District,
under which the local governments
would be left free to choose whether
relief should be given directly or as
work relief. was suggested today by
Miss A. Patricia Morss, chief of the
child welfare division, Board of Pub
lie Welfare
In her annual report to the Com
missioners, in which she departed
from the almost universal practice
Of limiting suggestions directly to the
problems Of the single municipal
agency, Miss Morss recited difnculties
In the care Of minors and declared
1t was worthwhile" for q study to
be made Of the possibilities Of the
suggested revision Of the Federal
social security program.
Lauds Security Objectives.
While praising the objectives of the
Federal social security program, Miss
Morss protested that grave dif1culties
had developed, particularly in the care
Of minors In large families. because
of the disparity between the limits
of monthly relief grants under the
various separate assistance categories
In this connection, she turned to her
own records to show that while fam
lily relief cases cared for under one
category Of assistance are limited to
$48 . month, under some other classi-
fications family budgets up to as much
as 500 . month are permissible, and
that uider some other categories the
limit is $50 . month.
Radical Revision.
This provoked her suggestion for
what might be termed radical re-
vision Of the w. P. A. and the social
security program, to provide Federal
grants to the States and to the Dis
trict, leaving to the States and the
District the decision as to how avail
abel assistance funds best could be
disbursed
Miss Morss reported there had been
rather . considerable increase during
the past fiscal year in the number
of children under care, considering
only those classed as neglected, or
dependency cases. This number in
creased from 1882 to 1914.
