Relief Requests
In February Hit
Record 1000
Welfare Aide Unable
To Explain Jump
From 433 Average

The number Of relief requests
In February was the largest in any
month during the current fiscal
year, Donald D. Brewer, assistant
director, reported to the Public
Welfare Board yesterday.
More than 1000 applications for
aid were received last month. The
average number for the preceding
six months was 433 a month. He
said there was no apparent reason
for the increase.
The board also was told that the
Minimum Wage and Industrial
Safety Board had warned some Of
the child-care institutions, where
the board pays for care Of its
wards, that they were violating the
new wage law Of last October by
failing to pay the women attend
ing the children $31 q week, the
legal minimum wage. These in
stitutions are paying their help
500 q month and use q 48-hour
week. The law provides that the
women may work only 40 hours a
week at the minimum rate and
must get at least 86 cents an hour
for all time in excess of the 40
hours.
Lack Margin in Budgets.
A number of the institutions
have no margin in their budgets
to meet the law and were con-
sidering reducing the number of
employees. But they were faced
with a Health Department re-
quirement that they provide a staff
person for every 10 children of
school age and one for every five
infants. Unless the institutions
can get some relief from these two
requirements. the board was told
they will have to increase their
rates to the Welfare Board or ask
that the board take the children
out of the institutions.
Preston D. Kavanaugh, q mem
ber of the board, told them re-
cipents of relief should be allowed
to earn a little extra money with
out it being deducted from their
relief checks. Fred S. Kogod, vice
chairman of the board, agreed
with him and asked hirn to check
with the Federal Security Agency
to see if it will allow this without
affecting the Federal grants the
board gets.
Mrs. Theodore Wedel, another
member of the board, said her
committee is arranging with the
Federation of Churches to see that
religious services are provided at
the welfare institutions when they
are needed. She said some Of the
institutions get a lot of religious
services while others are neglected.
Separate Menus Urged.
Miss Winifred Thompson, as
siStant superintendent Of the In
dustrial Home School, in charge
of the annex, told the board a
separate menu should be set UP
for the children in the annex and
the older ones in the main insti-
tuition. She said now all get the
same meals.
Edgar Morris, chairman Of the
board, in an opening statement
praised The Star for its welfare
story Of last Sunday and said that
copies should be forwarded to the
House Appropriations Committee.
"I feel certain that, with the
cooperation of the press, the
community agencies and the pub
lie" he said, "the Board Of Public
Welfare can move forward to
realize for the people of WASH
ington the best possible COM
munity welfare services"
