 BeGiiven Aid
Increase Is Now Being Ad- votated by Social Se-
 luritY Board

The Social Security Board has gone on record as favoring increased Federal participation in aid to de- pendent children, it was pointed out today by MT. Wade, Territorial dir ector of the Social Security Board in Alaska. In discussing the proposed changes in the Social Security Act recently submitted by the Social Security Board to the President and to Congress, MT. Wade stated that major emphasis is placed on more adequate security for children. AL though there are probably fully as many dependent children in need of and eligible for assistanse as there are old people now being aided, ac- cording to the Boards report, the number of persons receiving old age assistance is nearly three times as large as the number of dependent children receiving the aid. February estimates show about 100000 recip- tents of old-age assistance as against 659,000 dependent children.
 Govt. Support
 At the present time" MT. Wade quoted the Board as stating in its recommendations the Federal Gov ernment contributes only one-third of the payments made by the States to dependent children. As result, fewer States are participating in this program, and in many of the States that are participa ting, the level of assistance for dependent children is lower than that for aged and the blind"
 The Board" he continued, pro poses three changes which would in crease Federal contributions for aid to dependent children: It recom- mends that Federal grants for this program be placed on a 50-percent matching basis, like grants for old age assistance and aid to the blind, instead of the present basis of one- third Federal money and two-thirds State and local
 Increase Maximum
 Tt would also increase the maxi mum amount of individual monthly payments to which the Federal Gov ernment will contribute: At present these are SIS for the first child and SIP for each additional child in the same family; the Board believes that the maximum should be the same as that now provided for aid to the aged and the blind-that is S30 for every child. These changes would enable the Federal Govern ment to pay up to $l5 month for each child aided, provided the State paid like amount--as compared with the present Federal limitations of $6 for the first child and .$4 for other children in the family.
 In addition, the Board also be- iieyes that the age limit for pay ments matched by the Federal Gov

Photographer Come es fo Take Pictures Famous
 Party for Magazine

Those attending the Baranof Hotel opening Friday night may grace the pages of Life Magazine through the camera portraitures of Roger Dudley, Seattle photogra- pher. an arrival from the Queen City to imprint scenes and people of the event for possible inclusion in the pictorial periodical. Selected as a subject admirably suited to the story photo sequences printed in Life under the Life Goes to a Party caption, the in- augural event of the $550,000 elab- crate hotel structure has attracted the interest of this photographer sufficiently to project him on a ,O0O-mile water journey for the privilege of turning his lens on the important scenes at the af- fair.
 Roger Dudley is a well known photographer of Seattle. His es- tablishment in the Washington state metropolis was founded in 1907 by Frank Novel; who, in 1900 at Nome, operated probably the first camera portrait shop in the Territory.
 MT. Dudley has been with this firm since 1914 and, although this is his first trip to Alaska, he be- lieves that the estimated 10000 negatvs which he has studied por- traying scenes of this country gives him a first hand knowledge of the Territory.
 Lavish in his praise of the new hotel and enthusiastic about the camera study possibilities, MT. Dud- ley stated the pictures I am to take for submissioD to the editors of Life will come as a revelation to the millions of people Outside who peruse this pictorial. Many of those who live in the States will be astounded by the story the cam era will tell of this modern expen- sive hotel situated at the gateway to country believed by many to be yet frontier hinterland. This structure is one of the finest I have ever seen. Juneau has great building here"
 A program of picture taking will be worked out by the camera ex- pert and emphasis will be placed on scenes depicting the so- cial activities of the opening

 Although Alaska ranks high in comparison to the other AS States and Territories in caring for its aged, it is far behind most of the States and Hawaii in it's care of dependent children-it being one of eight States not participating in the dependent children feature of the Social Security Act.

Evanston, H., Nov. 26-(UP)-The women's Christian Temperance Un- ion estimated today that 100000 new drinkers, at least half of them addicted to hard liquor, will have lined up at the nations bars by next July l.

WCTU officials said war; time influences and improved econ- omic conditions may have been re- sponsible for the increase.
 The union said there was an in- crease of 60o,823 barrels in beer sales alone during the three-n1onth period in comparison with the same period last year. If the trend con- tinues, the group predicted, nation. al consumption totals. for the fiscal year, ending June 30, will be:

FORCE ASKED

Revival of an international po

Conference on the Cause and Cure
of War at the Hotel Washington
today.
The speaker was Sarah Wam.
baugh, formerly technical adviser
and deputy member of the Saa1
PlebiScite Commission.
Citing the partition of Czecho
slovakia as "a cruel blow to 1s
years of effort to substitute law
for violence" Miss Wambaugh
charged that the postwar neutral
ity policy of the United States
contributed to a real sabotage OF
all international organizations tC
prevent war"
The peace movement in this
country and its devoted work
for disarmament have been
greatly hampered by the fallacy
of non-resistance," Miss Wam-
baugh asserted. IF disputes
cannot be settled by converse
tions, or sanctions, then there
must be mutual assistance ap-
piled against the aggressor ma
tions with military force"
Two other speakers at the morn
ing session of the Conference to

topic was "The International La
Dor Organization" and Charles G
