Tells of Hearing.
ut is essential to the efficient ad-
ministartion Of State assistance plans
operating under the Social Security
Act that no attempt be made by pub
lie assistance officials and employees to
influence recipients Of such assistance
in the exercise of the right to vote.
On the basis of these letters it seems
self-evident that the division Of the
aid for the aged has attempted to in
fluence recipients of old-age assist
ance for political ends contrary to the
purposes of the Social Security Act
and Of the laws of Ohio relating to the
administration Of old-age assistance.
Other information in the possession OF
the board indicates there are serious
DEFICIENCIES in the administration OF
old-age assistance in Ohio.
For these reasons the Social Secur-
ity Board will hold hearing, as pro-
vided in section of the Social Secur-
ity Act, to determine whether in the
administration of the Ohio plan for
old-age assistance there is failure to
comply substantially with provisions
Of the Federal law A formal notice
Of the date of the hearing will reach
you shortly"
It was pointed out at the board that
these letters from Mr.. Berrodin were
of q shape and size that would permit
their inclusion in the envelopes con-
tanning old-age checks.
Gov. Davey, who has been In hot
water with the Roosevelt administra-
ton, is opposed for nomination by
Charles Sawyer, a Cincinnati lawyer,
who is understood to be favored by the
administration.
It was said at the board that this
is the first time that political manipu-
lation of the act has occurred in the
present campaign.

The letters were to State Controller

similar letter several days ago.

Mayor Howard w. Jackson said the
OConor camp has dropped all pre-

Mr.. Jackson said O'Conor speakers
had criticized his record as mayor,

two terms. Mr.. O'Conor himself urged
that be elected to third term = ="
He said Senator Sasscer, another
candidate for governor, had accused
