PLAN TO RAISE
RELIEF SOUGHT.
BY MRS. MORSS
Welfare Head Cites
Grants to States

Partial replacement of the
Works Progress Administrations
set,up by a system of Federal
grants in aid to States for more
equitable distribution of all forms
of relief was advocated as worth
while to study" by Miss A. Patricia
Morse, chief of the Child Welfare
Division, in her annual report to
the Board of Public Welfare to-
day.
Asserting it has been necessary
for families of seven and eight in
Washington to live all last year on
the S48 monthly WPA wage of the
head of the family, Miss Morss
pointed out equally large families,
'if so fortunate" could get $100 a
month if the family head came
under the Aid to Dependent Chill
dren service.
THIRD GROUP
A third category cited by Miss
Morss was the group which is on
general relief subsistlng on a
miximum family budget OF $6O.6O
monthly.
Miss Morss said 1871 children
was the daily average Of children
in the care of her division during
1898. This shows, she sair, an in
crease from 1882 in 1887, to 1,614
in 1888 in the number Of neglect
and dependency cases.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES
This increse was attributed by
Miss Morss partly to the limited
work opportunities available tor
minors, causing older children to
remain longer in care, and in part
to disclosures of the relief period
revealing sub-standard families in
the communities.
She said:
They have clung to relief be-
cause in all its paucity it af-
forded greater security than the
continuous struggle against in
adequate wages and irregular
work which they have expert
enced for so many years.
The social agencies them
selves have been shocked by the
meaning of poverty in the lives
of these people and IN the
degradation in social behavior
accompanying it."

Jimmy Hines, Dewey is q tough
guy. They don't come any
tougher.
STEADFAST IN PURPOSE
Having read an interview which
quoted Justice Pecora as saying
that what he did squared with his
conscience and his Judgment, and
that was all that mattered, Mr..
Dewey is of the opinion that he,
too, can conduct himself accord

science.

SHOWN FOR WEEK
Drop Attributed to Easier

of Outlook,
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-cotton
moved iiregularly lower during the
last week. The downward trend was
attributed chiefly to an easier stock
market and uncertainties in the busi-
ness outlook. May contracts sold off
TO 8.38 and closed at 8.4l today, COM
pared with 857 week ago.
Some Of the foreign selling was
credited to Bombay account and as
the Bombay discount under New York
widened there was more or less nery-
BUSINESS that additional liquidation of
long straddle accounts here by Bonn
pay interests might materialize.
Southern selling remained of small
proportions. Commission house liouj-
dation of March progressed steadily
and other tired long selling came out
on the decline. Demand came prin-
cipally from trade sources on a scale
down.
The volume of business was moder-
ate throughout the week. Quiet con-
dltlons IN the spot markets were said
TO reflect the dullness of the cotton
goods markets and possibly a DISPOSE
ton OF foreign interests to await the
movement of competitive cotton crops
abroad.
