States Open
Purses 10 Aid
0|d-Aoe Group

WASHINGTON. - Thousands Of
old folks are going to get more cash
from the public purse. Old age as
sistance funds or payments have
been increased in II states 81 far ir
the 1949 legislative season. Thir'
teen other states are studying pro-
posals to give more money to needy
citizens who are IS or older.
Cash help for the old folks runs
into millions. Before the 1949 legis-
lative sessions began, about $780,
900 men and women were getting
such aid. The average payment for
the United States as a whole was
s41.50. The monthly total topped
100 million dollars.
The funds go to needy people IS
or over-oldsters such as those who
are not covered by the federal old
age and survivors insurance
system.
Federal and state governments
both contribute money to the old
age assistance programs. The fed
eral government shares in pay
ments up to $50 a month.
Minimum Hiked
In the current legislative session,
North Dakota increased the mini
mum payments from $40 to $50 a
month in cases where there is only
n recipient in a family. and from
$50 to $45 when there r more.
The minimum was set at $50 in
New Mexico. In Maine, maximum
benefits were increased from $40 to
$50 a month. Nebraska raised the
ceiling from $50 to S55. Montana
provided for a hike of 81 in monthly
grants that had averaged $45.
The Illinois legislature decided to
boost the ceiling from $50 to sos a
month with the provision that it
would be adjusted up or down as the
cost of living rose or fell in the fu-
ture.
Higher appropriations also were
voted in North Carolina, Idaho, Ar
kansas, West Virginia and South
Dakota.
But the traffic wasn't all one way
in the IA capitals where decisions
already have been made. Indiana.
Utah and Wyoming made no
changes.
California Highest
None of the measures adopted
thus far this year has hit the high
target raised in California. The vot-
ers there last fall approved a prop
osition to increase benefits for sen
ior citizens from $50 to $75 a month.
To meet the added costs, for the rest
of the fiscal year ending June 80
and for the next fiscal year, the
governor has asked an extra $118.-
235, 900.
Proposals now being considered
in IS states vary quite a bit. But in
half of them appropriations would
be increased without raising the
on benefits.
Among the many bills in Massa-
chusetts are some seeking a SIS

It's an old, old story to most
Americans - the history of this
heritage of ours. But no matter
how well they know it. nor how
much they hear it, they are al
ways anxious to hear it again.
Americans are proud to point
to the old covered wagon, or the
old pioneers with horse and gun,
and say that this is my heritage
and because of that, we have this
democracy Of ours.
The American school child has

CHICAGO JITNEYS
ORDERED OFF or
RfYN eYnEERG
IT STREETS


Chicago (ANP) - The Illinois
Commerce commission at Spring
field last Wednesday sounded the
death knell Of Chicago's southside
"jitney cabs" by ordering them
off of South Parkway at once. The
ruling came simultaneously with
the commissions denial of a pc
tition by jitney operators for a
re-hearing on the case.
In addition, the attorney general
was ordered to file legal action
against operators If they fail to
comply with the order.
The only way the cabs can oper-
ate now will be under certificates
Of convenience as public utilities.
However, it is unlikely that jitney
operators will be able to obtain
these certificates since they are
supposedly operating in compet e
ton with the already licensed util-
tiles Of the Chicago Motor coach
buses.
Spearheading the action was the
South Parkway Improvement as
soCiaion, which had stated in its
complaints that the cabs opera
tons constitute a menace to
safety" and cited figures on the
high accident rate on the south
side as compared to other sections
Of the city. Atty. Bindley C. Cyrus
represented the association.
In petitioning for a rehearing
jitney owners sought to gain the
status of regularly licensed cabs,
Subject to local law but not to
commission Jurisdiction.
