APPOINTMENT in Canada

Americans have a valid claim to share in
the pride which Canada must feel over the ap-
pointment for the first time of Canadian to
be Governor General of the Dominion.
For the appointee is Vincent Massey, ma
tive of Toronto and first Canadian Minister to
the United States. 1t was in 1927 that Mr.
Massey whose mother incidentally was an Amer
ican, opened the first Canadian Legation, in
Washington. During his three years here he
established on the diplomatic level the enduring
fraternal relationship which has existed for SO
long between our two countries. Certainly no
finer example of the comfy of nations can be
found in world that is sorely harassed today
by the inability of governments to get along
with other governments
And so it is that Mr.. Massey, who contrib
uted much to this comfy on this side Of the
Atlantic, will now be in position to direct his
diplomatic skill toward perpetuating the close
kinship between his country and the other
members of the British Commonwealth. His
selection for the post of Governor General is
tribute not only to him but to his countrymen.

Third. in Indiana and Illinois, where

Immediately following the passage Of the
Jenner Amendment, there have been
only the normal declines in case loads.
Our experience in those States show that
the people there show very little interest,
If any. in policing" their neighbors and
that newspaper reporters in Chicago who
visited some of the families found so
much dire poverty that they gave money
out of their own pockets to relieve it.
Fourth,awe are convinced that ctisel-

ber of ineligibleS tofbeo less than three
per cent Of the case load. In ont, ,of these
instances. ythe firm that investigated
reported that there, was doubt as to
whether the cost Of efforts to reduce this
percentage would not exceed the savings
in payments to ineligibles.
Fifth, where the principle Of conf
dentiality'' IS abandoned, it is more diff
ficult to obtain from applicants and
from outside informants the data needed
to- prove eligibility Such complications
increase the cost Of administering the
program.
Sixth. b careful investigation into the
facts of our present case loads would
show that they are due to many factors
such as the transfer OF many aged from
former work programs, rising national
income and rising price levels, changes
in the composition of our population,
family breakdown following World War
II, the developments Of assistance pro-
grams, etc.
AS responsible members of a great pro-
fession, we would urge Congress to re-
peal the Jenner Amendment and would
look to the several States for other
means than those Of legislation to solve
this problem. In our opinion, the an
swer lies In the several governmental
units. on the national, State and local
levels providing sufficient funds to en-
ploy an adequate staff of competent and
trained persons who would carefully ad-
minister all public assistance programs
in such a manner as would protect the
taxpayers while at the same time looking
after the welfare of those who unfortu-
nately find themselves in need.

Exposing Relief Rolls

AS chairman Of the National Public
Social Policies Committee of the Amer
ican Association of Social Workers and
chairman of the District Chapter of the
association, regret that The Star found
it necessary in its lead editorial of jan
uary 12 to condemn the action OF the
which would prohibit disclosure Of the
names and other information relating to
such recipients who are receiving public
assistance. Our amazement at The
Stars position stems from the fact that
your newspaper, which has consistently
fought for the dignity, nobility and in
violate rights of the individual, now
aligns itself with those who would ex-.
pose the poverty of our needy citizens
the aged the blind. our dependent chill
dren and the disabled.
: First, may I make 1t clear that the
issue is not one of secrecy. whether it
relates to individual recipients or pro-
gram administration? With reference to
information about individual applicants
or recipients, information is available to
officials carrying responsibility for the
program, to social agencies and to others
the assistance programs. In addition, in
formation regarding such matters as the
size of expenditures, the eligibility re-,
quirements, the policies and procedures
to be followed in determining eligibility
and the amount OF the assistance pay
ment, ETC., has always been available to,
the public.
Second, the program you advocate will
not deter chiseling. Instead it will open
the fioodgates of undignified and ,un-
warranted shopping into the unfortunate
situation which confronts the approxi-
mately six million dependent children,
aged and the blind who now comprise
our public-assistance rolls. As proof OF
this statement, let me refer you to the
experiences Of Jarle Leirfallom, director.

in this article were unknown to me.
although have lived in Washington
almost 81 years. This is particularly
true with respect 10 the early years OF
your newspaper.
Captain Tate, in 1882. proclaimed:
"The Star. will be devoted in an especial
manner to the local interests of the
beautiful city which bears the honored
name of Washington and to the well
fare and happiness Of the large and
growing population within its borders"
It has been obvious that such a>declara-
ton of purpose must have been made
at some time in the past, but 100 years
of adherence to and the enlargement
OF that purpose is, at the least. remark
able. Your article brought out clearly
how the men who made The Star pur-
sued that aim in their newspaper work.
It is equally true that their will to serve
the city found expression in many activ-,
tiles beyond the call Of newspaper duty.
Within my own experience, no one
exemplified this dedication to Washing
ton and its people more thoroughly than
your late Associate Editor, Newbold
Noyes whose untimely death occurred
ten years ago this coming spring /
recall that he joined us on the Board
of the Associated Charities soon after
he came home from Yale University.
From that beginning, his active associa-
tion with other charities and civic Or
ganizations was limited only by the de-
mands Of his duties at the newspaper.
This devotion eliminated. but did not
end, with the establishing Of our Com
munity Chest, of which heSwas spon-
sor and a most effective advocate. He
went on to serve as the best and most
colorful chairman of a Chest campaign
that we have ever had and. later, as
president of the Chest.
These contributions to the welfare Of
the city, apart from his great contribu-
ton to your newspaper itself, typifed
the spirit Of The Star. So did his superb
efforts to have ratified the adherence
of the United States to the League Of
Nations. His views did not. prevail, but
the spirit which he brought to the cause
lessened the disappointment for many
