To date more persons 65 and
over have been receiving public
assistance than have been drawing
OASI pensions, and the benefits
have regularly been much larger
as well.
The whole situation in public
assistance as it has developed has
been contrary to the spirit and
intent of the Social Security Act
and its detectives. The recent
amendments to this Act, with their
liberalization of benefits as we'll as
cOverage, are expected to tip the
scales in favor of OASI in the fu-
ture and thus remove a grave
threat to the social insurance pro-
gram with its cOntributory prin-
ciple.
Another development of major
Importance for the financial fu-

and prOfit-sharing plans in recent

Revenue recently announced ac-
ceptance of more than 1000 such
plans in the two years ended June
80, 1850. bringing the number in

In addition, about one in every
four of the nations oldsters is
now drawing a pension under one
of the various Government retire
ment programs, state and local as
well as Federal. The principal PEN
sion programs under Government
auspices, including Old Age and
Survivors Insurance. are based on
the cOntributOry principle. They
therefore give the beneficiary an
earned right in the income which
he receives on retirement.
Large Number Still Work
The question of how persons 65
and over get along is of decided
economic and social significance in
view of the consistent uptrend in
the number and proportion of this
age bracket in the general popula-
tiOn.
The number of persons IS and
over who continue to work, either
for wages and salaries or in self
employment, has remained cOIl-
sistently high. Over the past dec
ade approximately one out of ev..
cry three Oldsters has been listed
under the classification of income
from employment. The number
with such incomes at the end of
1949 was 3.8 millions as against 81
millions at the end of 1916 and 2.S
millions at the end of 1910. The ma
tiOn's economic expansion in the
1940-50 decade with it's widening
of employment opportunities has
been an important factor in this
connection.
The exact number of people 65
and over now enjoying the fruits
Of past savings is not precisely
known. However, an indication is
provided by a study made in the
Office of the actuary of the Social
Security Board for the year 1916
which indicated that there were
then over a million such persons
with income from life insurance
and annuities. At the same time,
there were nearly a million per-
sons in the IS and over age brack-
ct with income from investments
The combined number now is prob
ably at least as large.
Increase In Pensioners
A noteworthy development of the
last decade is the marked rise in
the number of pensioners under
various Government retirement
programs, especially under Old Age
and Survivors Insurance. At the
end Of last year there was totaI
of 3 million persons SIS and oveI
drawing such pension benefits as
against II millions at the enc
of 1945 and only 100000 ten years
ago.
This trend is significant in view
Of the disturbingly large number
of persons IS and over receiving
public assistance. Over the decade
more than million Oldsters have
consistently been on the assist
ance rolls, and the number at the
end of 1949 was up to 81 millions.
The. Federal-State cost of this aid
has at the same time increased
more than threefOld to reach $1.4
billions at the end of last year.
