tions.

the Board to study problems of
social security is continuing; the
8oard will pursue it's research and
investigation in the programs it

program and reduce taxes; pro-
vide more Federal money for pub
lie assistance, enabling the States
to increase the aid given the
needy aged, blind, and dependent
children; make possible tax saw
ings in unemployment cOmpensa-
ton; and authorize more Federal

i've until July l, 1941. These re-
late to the administration of pub
lie assistance and unemployment

States and may involve State leg
islation; this legislative action
cannot be taken, except in a few
States, until 1941 because the leg
islatures do not meet in 1910.

benefits of the social security pro-
gram in 1910?
A 1t has been estimated that L.

covered in 1910 by the amendment
to the old-age insurance provi-
sions and approximately 100000
ny those effecting the unemploy-
ment compensation program. Ac
curate estimates ,of possible in
creases in the coverage of the
public assistance programs cannos
be made, since such increases will
depend on what action the States
take
@. What will the additional Fed
eral costs amount to?
A. 1t has been estimated that
the additional cost will be about
$60,000,000 per year There will
also be expended about $6S,OOO,-
900 additional in 1910 under the
old-age and survivors insurance
system.
@. What was the background of
the amendments?
A. When Congress passed the
original law in 1885, it recognized
that it was not complete or final.
The Social Security Board was
specifically authorized to study it
with a view to its amendment.
The Board was instructed to
recommend such changes as it
