To Name Relief Clients
By fhe As.ociofed Press

COLUMBIA, Tenn, Feb. "a
Despite Federal law against it,
Tennessee legislators plan to make
public today names of welfare re-
lief recipients.
I'VE are not afraid of any roper
cuSsions from the Federal Social
Security Board" Democratic SEN
ator Carl Hardin of Nashville said
ut would be a mistake for a
Federal agency to attempt puni-
tive action against State whose
legislative representatives sought
to give the taxpayers the facts
on how their welfare program was
being operated"
Indiana and Georgia lawmakers
however. are dealing more for
mally with Federal prerogatives.
At Indianapolis. the Indiana
House yesterday gave a prelimi-
nary nod to Senate-approved
bill to publiciZe names and money
payments on welfare relief rolls.
Two weeks ago a Georgia Sen
ate resolution asked Congress to
allow publication of the names
of those receiving public assist
ance. The Federal law prohibiting
it was passed in 1912 after the
late Gov. Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia began publishing such a

equipment in all the world to our
armed forces. We shall be ready for
all-out war, or all-out peace.
We are establishing a production
capacity of $4,000 tanks q year and
intend to be able to produce $4,000
jet engines month. These are only
examples of a productive capacity
that will be our best guarantee of
lasting peace, or Of final victory.
$50 Billions for Defense.
Under this plan, we are going to
ask the most abundant economy in
the world to produce, in the next
two or three years, an extra $50 bill
lions for defense. This amount in
cludes the finest weapons, equip
ment, and facilities for their pro-
duction that the skills of Our peo-
pie can produce.
These same facilities and skills
can be turned progressively back to
the job of sbuilding better nation
and a better world.
-. Let's look at the meaning
of our defense effort in terms of
materials.
Before Korea, we were using
roughly one million tons of alumni
mum per year for nor1-defense pur-
poses. This will have to be cut to
750, 900 tons and perhaps more. In
the meantime, however, we are in
|creasing our available supplies of
aluminium by more than so per
cent.
Don't forget that much of this
added aluminium will be available,
If needed, for your civilian use when
our rearming job Is done. What is
true Of aluminium will be true of
other basic commodities. BY 1858,
barring all-out war, we will be able
not only to take care of our con-
tinuing military needs but to have
at least as much aluminium for
civilian use as we did in 1850.
We are planning on growth.
Before Korea, we were producing
80 million tons of steel for peace
time purposes. That amount won't
be available for non-defense pur-
poses in 1851 or 1852. But by 1853
we will be producing lit million
tons. Again, barring all-out war,
more thar. 80 million tons should be
available for non-defense uses.
Again, We are planning on growth
for a sound defense and sound
economy.
Not Enough to Go Around.
Our policy is the same with re-
gard to other materials vital to our
economy. But there will not be
enough to 60 around this year or
next.
80. Americans can hardly look
on this temporary curtailment as
a calamity.
After all, we built nearly 8 million
motor vehicles in 1850 and our
streets are filled with shiny new cars.
Automobiles take a great deal Of
many strategic materials. They are
heavy users Of steel and copper.
Barring all-out war, we still will
