Sfosa Announced Bio Jumn
Stots Announces Big jump
in Gronts to Recipients

LANSING, Oct. % - R -
Michigan's Social Security re-
cipients, hard-pressed by mount
ing living costs because of the
war, will receive a Is per cent
increase in food allowances be-
ginning next month.
The State Welfare Commission
at its meeting yesterday author
lied F. F. Fauri, State Social Sc
curity director, to in crease
grants to clients receiving old
age assistance, and to dependent
children and aid to the blind
during the next seven months.
Fauri had recommended the
action, pointing out that present
food allowances were granted on
the basis of 1889 food cost sur
veys and that State matching
funds could meet the increase
up until next June.
He said the increases would be
predicted upon the continued de-
cline of case loads. At present,
he said, old age assistance rolls
included 81, 100 persons; aid to
dependent children, 1923, and
aid to the blind, 1 ,384.
PROGRESSIVE JUMPS
With such other factors as fuel

and rent involved, Fauri esti-
mated that old age grants could
be increased progressively from
an average of $20.25 this month
to $23.10 next June; aid to de-
pendent children grants from an
average of $43.23 to $49.25, and
a.. to blind grants from $26.67
to c.;29.67.
He said that under the in
creased paymen program, the
States share of old age assist
ance for the year ending next
June was estimated at Sill, 4O3,-
$40 and that available funds to-
tailed $11,450, $40, leaving a bal
ance of $50, 900. State funds
available for aid to dependent
children. he said, were estimated
at $6,112,184, compared with
needed funds of So, 003, 803.
Fauri reported that States ex-
penditure under increased aid to
the blind would be $3.50, 900,
leaving q deficit Of $28, 900
which he said could be met by a
transfer from other funds.

Great Britain has sent a pow
erful battle squadron into the
Indian ocean, :. was disclosed
today, amid increasing signs that
the zero hour may be near for
an allied offensive against Jap
anese-conquered Burma.
Authoritative London quart
ers said the big sea armada in
cluded at least three battleships,
the aircraft carrier Illustrious
and a large force of cruisers
and destroyers. all under the
command of Admiral Sir James
Somerville.
No explanation was forthcom-
ing for the frank disclosure of
British fleet movements, here
tofore always shrouded in the
deepest secrecy, but observers
interpreted it as q move to draw
Japanese forces from other thea
ters of the far Pacific war.
SUPPORTS HINTS
Outspoken hints Of an impend-
ing allied drive into Burma
have been coming from United
Nations headquarters at New
Delhi, India, all this past week.

Gen. Wavell himself has de-
clared that Burma must be re-
taken.
Two other high-ranking allied
military chiefs, Lieut. Gen. JOS
eph w. Stilwell, U.S.A., and
Gen. Sir Claude ]. E. Auchin-
leck have been reported con-
ferring with Gen. Wavell at New
Delhi within the past few days.
Only yesterday, the Tokyo
newspaper Nichi said Japanese
military quarters expected the
allies to reopen the Burma

Besides avenging the "hell of
a beating" which Gen. Stilwell
frankly acknowledged had been
suffered by the allies in Bur-
ma, a renewal of the Burma
campaign would serve to detour
Japanese forces which might
now be preparing for an attack
on Russian Siberia.
If successful, it would also
reopen the Burma road supply
line to China.
JAPS OUT OF GEAR
Meanwhile, Japan's big new
drive in the Solomon islands ap-
peared to have been thrown off
schedule as the invaders still
withheld their main forces and
allied bombers continued to
keep them off balance with hea-
Wy new blows.
