Welfare Program
Urged by DR.. Eliot

DR.. Martha M. Eliot, chief OF
the Federal Security Agency
children's Bureau, declared toda.
| it was time for the public healtl
md welfare agencies to take stocl
and discover how well they arr
doing their jobs.
DR.. Eliot addressed the openine
session of the biennial conference
If the American Public Welfare
Association at the Hotel Statler
More than 1000 welfare officials
from over the country are attend
ing the three-day meeting.
For many years we in the pub
lie health and welfare services
have been devising and admin
|istering programs aimed at i'm
proving individual well-being, .
she said.
Job Evaluation Urged.
1T is high time that we give
earnest attention to discovering
how well we are doing our jobs.
The critical situation in which the
Nation finds itself underlines that
necessity. Evaluation is called for
both because public funds must be
carefully conserved and, even more
important. because the objectives
of our programs efforts are so
important for the national well
fare that we must know for GER
tain how well they are being
achieved"
DR.. Eliot said the whole welfare
program of the Nation should be
evaluated by research. She said
she recognized it was difficult to
devise scientific methods by which
the effectiveness of public welfare
and health measures could be
measured.
The need is so great" she add
ed. that methods surely must be
found"
Should Redouble Efforts.
Discussing the need for welfare
programs at present, DR.. Eliot said
that instead of giving up welfare
efforts. the country should be re-
doubling them and should be
striving to eliminate all condi-
tions that make children and
adults feel fearful, inadequate or
ashamed"
She said the efforts to promote
the welfare of individuals is nec-
essary particularly now when the
Nation stands most in need of
productive, competent citizens.
The well-being of individuals is
"our way of life." she added.
A luncheon session today was
to hear a talk by DR.. Howard
Rusk. chairman of the Health Re-
sources Advisory Committee and
medical editor Of the New York
Times.
Group discussion meetings were
scheduled during the day on q
variety Of welfare problems.

His subject was zone Man Listen
ed" Beginning his talk, Mr. Greg
SOS gave some startling figures of
the amount little Delaware pays in
taxes each year and impressed it
on his listeners that it was their
money and not Federal money that
was being recklessly spent From
there he gave the views of an imag-
mary listener, whose sober think
ing brought national matters to his
own door step, and with it the
realization that America was being
"s0ld short. While the COnstitu-
ton bristles with limitations of the
Government, said Mr.. GregsOn,
bureaus of that same Government
are being set up to control almost
every phase of the life of citizens
and the road to socialism seems
PLAINLY marked. Since his audience
was made up of women, he saiC
that women were a potential pow,
er and should exercise it to th'
: good of all Mr.. Gregson came t
the club through the courtesy Q
