Prison Inmate
Classification
Cited as Need
Van Hyning Reviews
Problems of D. 6.
Welfare Program

Adequate classification service for
proper orientation of inmates was
cited today by Welfare Director
Conrad Van Hyning as the overall
need of District penal institutions.
He reviewed the Districts welfare
program and problems in the third
Of series of lectures sponsored
Jointly by the Central Volunteer
Bureau and the Council of Social
Agencies, at the United States
Chamber of Commerce Building.
The classification service, he said,
would provide a medical and social
history of each inmate to insure the
best industrial placement for him
within the institution. 1t also would
aid the Parole Board in deciding on
applications, he said.
Adequate medical service also is
lacking at the penal institutions, Mr..
Van Hyning told the group.
The welfare director urged the
group to support the Commissioners
in seeking removal from the l943
District budget of language placing
ceiling on direct relief payments.
Raps Blue Plains Buildings.
Declaring that the present re-
strictions were apparently inserted
on the theory that the welfare staff
could not be trusted to keep relief
payments within bounds, he ex-
planned that S48 a month is now
the maximum which can be paid to
a family of five persons and that
$50 is the absolute limit for any
family.
Taking up the Home for the Aged
and Inirm at Blue Plains, Mr.
Van Hyning pointed out that many
of the buildings do not conform to
the District Building codes, and OBJ
served that the District "appar-
emily can violate its own regula-
tions." He said the staff was to-
tally inadequate and complained
of the lack of fire escapes. He also
reviewed a series of recent steps
taken to improve conditions at the
home
In reviewing District institutions
for children, the welfare director
cited the District Training School
for Feeble Minded. at Laurel, Md
as probably the best from the point
Of view of staff and building ede-
quacy.
Employees Pay Low.
He alluded to the low pay of
training school employees, pointing
out that the maximum. except in
one instance, is 1920 a year minus
$500 for board.
Outlining the various agencies
through which the District budget
passes. Mr.. Van Hyning pointed out
that items could be eliminated by
any one Of the four or five groups
involved.
This ties in" he observed. with
the question of national representa-
ton and local self-government"
The Board of Public Welfare pro-
vides institutional care for some
5000 persons and relief for about
10000 persons and families on an
annual budget of some s9,OO000O,
he said.

D. {. Income
Of
Billion Seen
Expansion in Jobs
And Defense Boom
Leading to Record

Due to expanding employment
and the defense boom, income pay
mentS to individuals in the Dis.
trict in 1941 will top a billion
dollars for the first time in history,
according to estimates of Federal
experts. it was disclosed today.
In 1929 District income totaled
s625 100000, and in 1888, the low
point of the depression, it dropped
to S479 100000. With the excep-
ton of 1888, when there was a slight
decline, the income curve since
1888 has been steadily upward.
In 1910 income payments in the
District amounted to s845 900, 900.
Salaries and wages accounted for
S625 100000 of the District total.
The District had per capita in
come last year of s1,022 larger than
any State, according to the Com
merce Department computation. Be-
/ fore calculating per capita income, it
made deductions for salaries and
other payments in the District to
/ residents of nearby communities
in Maryland and Virginia. In 1929
per capita income in the District
was placed at S1,170.
1 Because authentic figures as to
the growth of population in the
District since the taking of the
| decennial census in April, 1910. are
lacking estimates of 1941 per capita
income will be difficult. it was point
ed out today
New Peak for L. s.
Income payments in the United
States this year will set new
peak-at least s9l 900 100000, as
compared with pproximately
$4,000 100000 last year. Three fac
tors are mainly responsible for this
increase-defense expenditures. ex-
panding employment and the rise
in the general level of prices.
Prices in 1941 will average about
5 per cent higher than last years
level. This rise offsets part of the
! gain in consumer income this year.
Income payments for the last three
months of the year are expected to
exceed the September total of So
099,00000 During the first nine
months of the year they were ap-
proximately II per cent above the
total for the corresponding period Of
1910 Income from salaries and
wages increased 81 per cent reflect
ing current gains in employment,
and entrepreneurial income-that
credited to owners of unincorporated

than last year. The net income OF
farm operators, the largest single
component of entrepreneurial in
come. is now running 25 per cent
above last years level. Income pay
ments from dividends are up 10
per cent.
May Pass 100 Billion In 1912.
In 1912 it is estimated that income
payments will exceed 100000 000.-
900, more than twice the 1888 total.
The advance in real purchasing
power, according to Federal econom-
lists, will depend in large part on
the success of current efforts to hold
price advances within reasonable
limits.
With national income continuing
its expansion to record heights, Fed
eral taxes will yield proportion
ately larger return, they point out.
Income payments differ slightly
from estimates of national income,
that they include neither business
savings-an important but highly
variable component of national in
come-nor employer contributions to
social security and other retirement
funds. which in recent years have
amounted to approximately per
cent of total salaries and wages.
