MANY OVER IS IN
N. C. AIDED BY OLD
AGE ASSISTANCE
Facts About This Financial Assist
ance Given by State Board
of Public Welfare

Raleigh. - What are your
chances of needing old age assist
ance when you reach 65 years of
age?
One way of judging what the
probabilities are is to look at the
facts about the growing segment
of older people in the population
of North Carolina and the proper
ton of these who receive old age
assistance now. Eligibility require
ments and other factors would
have a place in considering this
question.
At the present time financial aid
through old age assistance is being
given to less than one person in
five of. the people over IS in the
States population. Recipients aver
age rs years of age. The total
number of people in North Caro-
lima over IS has increased from
156,540 in 1910 to more than 268,
900 in 1866. 1t is significant that
despite the low per capita income
in the State, we'll over 100000 of
this age group get along without
old age assistance.
Old age assistance, like all of
the public assistance programs, is
designed by Federal and State
laws in such a way that the indi-
vidual will remain as nearly self
supporting as possible. To receive
old age assistance a person must
not only be IS years of age or
older but must be in need as
judged on a carefully developed
budgetary basis.
A budget is prepared for each
applicant for public assistance, in
Guiding items such as food, shell
ter, clothing, fuel, lights, water and
a small medical allowance. Since
old age assistant is intended to
supplement, rather than replace
other income, all resources avail.
able to the person applying are
taken into account in determining
need. These resources may include:
income of children, farm resources,
savings, OASI payments, property
and any other income and re-
sources.
After the budget is prepared and
the available income from all
sources considered, a grant of only
80 percent of the remaining unmet
need can be given under the uni
form plan in effect in all counties.
The grant is recommended by the
county superintendent of public
welfare to the county welfare
board for approval. If approved,
the monthly check is mailed direct

The maximum in which the
Federal government will partici-
pate is $55 per month, but very
few are eligible for this maximum
under the policies in effect in this
State. In addition, provision for
needed disqualification of public
assistance recipients at per diem
payment of Sc is included in the
plan in effect in North Carolina.
The average grant in this State
is about $31, while the national
average is nearly $40 per month.
A lien is filed against the prop
erty of every person receiving old
age assistance so that the full
amount of the assistance may be
recovered from the estate if it has
sufficient value. An annual review
(and if circumstances so indicate
more frequent reviews) is made
of the circumstances of each per-
son receiving public assistance.
On the basis of any new facts af-
fecting the grant or the persons
eligibility, adjustment is made in
terms of whatever the facts indi-
cate as proper in accordance with
regulations based upon the laws.

Anderson Wants Inside Story
OfWhy linn Quit Acc Post

Senator Anderson, Democrat
Of New Mexico, said last night
he has asked DR.. Walter H. linn,
famed atomic scientist, to give
the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee his views on
the Governments atomic reactor
program.
Senator Anderson. chairman
Of the committee. told a reporter
he also is interested in finding
out why DR.. linn is resigning as
director Of the Atomic Energy
Commissions Argonne National
Laboratory. The laboratory is
operated by the University Of
Chicago under contract.
The scientist, in his letter of
resignation last week, said he was
leaving because his dictatorship
''has been sufficiently long" He
has headed the laboratory at
Lemont, H.. for 10 years.
However, there were reports
DR.. linn resigned in a policy dis
agreement over awarding Of an
Acc contract for a particle ac-
celerator. to be used in further
atomic work.
Senator Anderson said he re-
CARDS DR.. linn "as one Of the
finest men the Acc has" and
wants his suggestions as the best
course to follow in this coun-
try's peacetime use of atomic
power.
Senator Anderson said he is
interested in the reasons for the
resignation because "the Acc
can't afford to lose men" like DR..
linn.

article he had been under pres

way's) views to q ''preconceived

Gen. Taylor said the Army's
ideal" strength would be about
% divisions, compared with the
10 now provided. He said this
is an Army point of view which
excludes other factors in de-
tense planning and conceded
that if he were Secretary of De-
Tense Its quite likely" he
wouldn't approve an Army that
large.
Admiral Arthur w. Radford
said in a weekend speech the
aim is well-rounded forces which
can cope with limited wars

If one service could do this.
he said. it would get full backing.
But various forces are needed,
he said. and they share the funds
accordingly. He described as un-
founded and ridiculous the claims
of some partisan enthusiasts"
whom he did not name that
money is allotted arbitrarily
among the services.
Gen. Taylor said about 10000
youths have signed up for six
months of active training under
an Army reserve program which
seeks 10000 this year. He limited

replied, that anyone trying to
buy newsprint now. who doesn't
have a historical pattern OF
usage, would find it very diff
cult"
The departments report on
newsprint supply and demand
said a small weekly newspaper
would consume between 1000
and 1000 pounds Of newsprint
a week, at a cost ranging from
SOS to $3.50.
Cites Severe Shortage
The departments report said:
1T is not so much the in
creased cost to small newspapers
as it is the shortage of news
print which has a tendency to
limit the natural growth OF
such small newspapers. Al
though the large metropolitan
dailies consume by far the
greatest proportion OF newsprint,
the spectacular growth in cir
culation and advertising is in
the smaller daily and weekly
papers. It is these which will be
penalized by inadequate supply"
The report said the United
States used an estimated $685.
900 tons of newsprint in 1855
and probably would need $780,
900 this year. including 100000
tons to rebuild inventories.
The supply of newsprint for
United States consumers in
1856 was estimated at 6.735, 900
