case Of desertions. And the fact
that desertions have increased ir
recent years is perhaps the prin-
cipal reason why this form OF
public assistance is going up.
! The average payment in this
kind of aid runs about $7l. But
1t varies widely between States
In Massachusetts it is about sll0
In California, where there is nc
limit on total payments. some
families collect as much as S21e
q month.
Payments to the needy over s.
years of age are more modest
however. The national average
is around $44, although some
States have a level of payments
a great deal higher. Colorado is
the most generous State in this
respect. with an average of SOS
Mississippi. the lowest, pays Sl8
But in some States man and his
wife are both eligible-Massachu-
settS is one such-and combined
payments may run to $l25 a
month.
This situation in the entire well
fare picture-of relief payments
being at their all-time high dur
ing a period Of extreme prosperity
has called forth the charge that
the whole system is being abused
by chiselers, and that the Gov
ernment Is in many cases being
MIXED.
| Yet even If 1t were true that
the system is being abused in
many cases. We should have to
look elsewhere for the reason be-
hind the enormous growth in vel.
fare payments over the last IL
years. Even If one person out
OF every 20 were dishonest. the
money saved by reform would
constitute but a small part ot
the total outgo.
Actually there are three basic
causes for the large jump in oul
relief rolls: l. imitation; 2, the
fact that We can afford to be
more generous with the needy
than was the case a few years
ago; and, 3. the fact that we
have a more sensitive conscience
IN regards to financial hardship
than was formerly the case.
Still Live Near Want.
! Despite our $239 billion an.
nual national income. there are
many people in the Nation who
still live on the gray edge OF
actual want. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics has recently
computed the annual income
necessary to support family OF
two persons over IS at a modest
but adequate level of living" The
figure varied from city to city
$500 a year in Boston, for
instance. down to $1,6O2 in New
Orleans.

prosperous days a total of more
than 4 million American families
with annual incomes of less than

u. 5. Starts Building
All Night Fighter
Inferceptor Fleet
By Elton G Foy

Asoo1Aateu tAess MliIiaiS hIlalES Reporter
The Air Force is beginning to
build toward a new interceptol
fleet in which all fighter planes
instead of only a few will have
electronic eyes for hunting down
enemy bombers in any kind of
weather, day or night.
Discussing the trend toware
the "all-weather" fighter force
one official commented today that
1t didn't seem to make sense to
have interceptor planes which can
work only in daylight and in gooe
visual conditions.
Back of his comment was the
fact that the best conditions fol-
a modern bomber force, equipped
with radar bomb sight, is in the
blanketing protection of darkness
and clouds.
The move toward complete
all-weather force began some
time ago, but now is being accel-
Grated in the USAF's new aircraft
procurement program. Quantities
of all-weather fighters are on or
der to add to planes already de-
livered
Is Needed Urgently.
Revision of estimates the last
two years of RussiaS strategic
bombing capabilities have given
urgency to an effort to provide
the air defense command with a
complete force of interceptors
capable OF operating at any time
under any conditions. Russia has
added large numbers of long range
bombers, based on the American
B-29 design, to her strategic force
and has demonstrated she now
has the atomic bomb.
StrategiSts assume that if Rus.
sian navigation and radar equip
ment has progressed at the pace
OF the Soviet bomber and jet
hghter progress, Red airmen would
be able to make a surprise strike
timed to bring the bombers ir
over the United States under cover
OF darkness and, if possible, ii
cloud cover.
An alert from the radar warn
ing net. construction of which is
nearing completion, therefore
might be flashed at night. What
ever the flying conditions the in
terceptor force would have to &c
into action instantly.
Reds Have Night Plane.
The Soviet air force reported
has IN use at least one type of all
waether fighter to bolster Russia s
defense against attack-a twin
jet Lavochkin night fighter. Also
in recent months. there has beer
some indication the day-fightel
Mig-15s are using at least some
airborne radar equipment in
working against American B-29s
and jet fighters.

of all-weather fighters, two OF
them jets-the Lockheed F-94C
and Northrop F-89, and the pis-

outclassed by the jets speed.
Currently, test models of the
North American F-86 Sabre, the
day fighter which has had the
most frequent duels with Soviet
made M1G-15S over Korea, are
being tried as night fighters. Ra-

nations but by developing a rule
OF law In the relations between
nations.
Two Possible Steps.
There are two steps which
might be taken to improve the
United Nations. We might press
for a convention to write amend
mentS to the Charter. That would
probably be blocked by Russia
We might set up an organizatio
OF nations within the United Ma
tons under more ideal charter,
There was an opportunity to do
this In the case Of the Atlantic
pact, but the State Department
chose to negotiate a military al
lance.
II all the Atlantic pact nations
agree to a new form of interna-
tlonal organization based on law
and justice without veto, it could
operate between themselves and
settle all disputes among them
An example of success might lead
TO the new organizations becom-
ing the real power within the
facade Of the United Nations.

greater than at any time in our
history.
Welfare payments must be dis
tinguished from social security.
The latter is a form of insurance
which person pays for and re-
ceives as a matter of right.
Welfare is public assistance
which is dispensed not as a matter
of right, but on the basis Of need.
1t falls into six categories, and
any person receiving it is supposed
to have been in actual want. The
classif1cations are:
I. Aid to the needy of 65 years
Of age and over. A total of g.
737, 900 persons received this type
of public assistance last year.
Total cost was $1,431 100000.
2. Dependent children under 18.
There are 1.582.000 recipients, at
a cost Of $402 million.
3. Parents or guardians of needy
children. About $40 900 recipients,
at $138 million annual cost.
i 4. Disabled persons. 100000 re-
cipients, $50 million cost.
! S. Blind persons. $1,000 recip-
tents. $54 million cost.
6. Persons between 18 and IS
years Of age on city welfare loads.
$4,000 recipients, STA million
cost.
The total Of all six categories
OF public relief is thus: 5,7l5.O0O
recipients, $2,259, 100000 a year
cost.
/ In the first five categories the
cost is shared by the Federal Gov
ernment. State and local agencies.
The sixth category, however, is
entirely a State and local re-
sponsibility-shared in varying
percentages by States and their
cities and towns. And this So
called general relief is the only
type Of welfare payment that is
not going up.
T Aged Increase 80 Per Cent.
There are 80 per cent more per-
sons on oldage assistance now
than there were in 1899. Over
the same period of time the num-
Der of cases of aid to dependent
children has doubled-from 750-
600 to l million, although the child
population over the same interval
has increased by only 20 per cent.
| Aid to the blind has increased
by 80 per cent.
/ On the other hand, general re-
lief is only about one-third of it's
1889 figure. 1t is claimed by many
that the reason for this is that the
general relief rolls are policed
more carefully by local authori-
ties, as the Federal Government
does not contribute to this type of
welfare and the entire cost must
be borne by the State and its
cities and towns.
The aid to disabled persons was
introduced only last year, and 1t
is expected to mount rapidly once
the program really gets rolling.
The same thing is true of the
aid to parents or guardians of
! children. This aid goes to those
caring for needy dependent
child. and the average payment is
about $22 month.
Desertions Increase.
The direct aid to dependent
children. on the other hand, is
available to any home where
there is no father to support the
children, or where a father is
prevented from supporting them
by illness or incapacity. Thus
this type Of aid is provided in the

largest exhibit of Japanese products
ever held outside of Japan proper
and one of the most extensive in
dustrial presentations ever held in
Washington. Approximately n 900
square feet of display space will be
devoted exclusively to Japanese mer-
chandise.
Japanese producers are exempt
from all fees and exhibit charges,
being required only to transport
their displays to Seattle. American
firms dealing in Japanese goods will
rent booths for display purposes, and
service, social. and cultural organi-
cations are expected to set up color
full exhibits. Various japanese
wares will be placed on retail sale
by Japanese merchants
The response of Japanese business
leaders and government officials to
the fair has been terrific, accord
ing to Hayden. The Japanese, quick
to grasp any opportunity to revita-
lie their hard-pressed economy,
are energetically pushing plans to
participate on a large scale. They
have set up budget of 100000 for
fair expenditures, of which 100000
was subscribed within a short time.
This budget is for the mammoth CEN
trail exhibit of the government min
istries and major cities and prefec-
lures. 1t will feature Japan's pro-
ducts for export, and will also de-
pict the people and the land, ia
pans scenic beauty, and Japans
modern-day economy. Numerous
private enterprises are also planning
displays.
Hayden points out that the fair
will not be all business. There will
be plenty Of fun and entertainment.
Topflight performers, both popular
and classical, will be brought from
Japan. Plans are under way to i'm
port famous kabuki troupe, as well
as kabuki puppeteers. This will
mark the first time that profession
al kabuki players will perform in A

lions, and singers and dancers ga

Japan will be featured in gigantic
pyrotechnical show TO herald the
opening of the fair.

Preparations for the First Seattle
international Japanese Trade Fair
to be held in the spacious UNIVERSE
ty of Washington Edmundson, Pa
vilion from June II to July 3, are be-
ing vigorously pushed to make it the
most spectacular presentation of ia
panese products ever shown under
one roof In the United States.
This fair is Seattle and the State
of Washington's determined bid to
re-establish the port of Seattle as
Americas gateway to the Orient. BY
virtue of its position as the eastern
Pacific anchor of the shortest route
via the Great Circle to Japan, Sea-
tile should be enjoying a foremost
place In trade with the Far East. A
great deal of the Pacific commerce
which Seattle handled prior to
World War II, however, is being
channeled through other American
ports.
With this city dependent to a
great extent upon the vitality of
commerce for its economic livelihood
and prosperity civic and business
leaders are sparing no effort to make
the fair giant showcase" of Japa-
nese products to attract thousands
of buyers and consumers from all
over the Western Hemisphere.
Fair officials point out, however,
that the sole purpose of the fair is
not to rejuvenate Seattle's foreign
trade. They emphasize that the fair
will give Japan an opportunity to es-
tablish herself as "self-reliant
partner of other nations through the
medium of friendly trade relations
and a chance to strengthen her ties
with Seattle and the State of WASH
ington culturally and socially.
The plan to stage the fair Is the
outgrowth of the Seattle Goodwill
| Tour OF the Orient last year headed
by Mayor Devin. The fair is being
sponsored by the international
Trade Fair, Inc, profit orga-
nization including officials of the
city of Seattle, Port of Seattle, State
of Washington, Seattle Chamber oil
Commerce, Washington State For
eign Trade Council, Greater Seattle
Inc, and numerous other groups re-
presenting commercial. industrial
labor, cultural, recreational, ano
transportation interests.
Headquarters of the fair are To-
Gated in the Central building ir
space provided by Toshio Urabe
chief Of the Japanese Government
Overseas Agency. Urabe is serving
on the fair executive committee, ane
is performing the important fnnc.
ton as liaison with Japanes,
government and business leaders.
The director of the fair is Johr
Hayden, dynamic young public re
lations chief of the Port of Seattle
whose services have been donated b,
