Roney Urges
More Help


The director of the Federal
Bureau Of Public Assistance
last night urged that Federal
aid be given to needy children
regardless of whether they are
from broken or unbroken
homes.
Jay l.. Roney said that pres
ent regulations allow grants to
be given only in situations
where a parent has beer re-
moved-through death, divorce,
or other reasons.
AS a result of this, Mr.. Roney
said. mothers in unbroken
homes who would rather stay
home to take care of their chill
dren, are often forced to work,
to keep their children alive.
Additional Federal aid to de-
pendent children in unbroken
homes, he stated, would allow
these mothers to stay home if
they wished.
Mr.. Roney was the keynote
speaker at the first of the
two-day School of Social Work
Institute at Howard University.
The conference will continue
with panel discussions and
workshops today.
Mr.. Roney also asked more
States to remove lengthy resi-
dence requirements from their
relief laws. He pointed out
that workers often have to
move to keep up with the
labor market. but are "in
trouble" If in need Of hospital
care. for instance. before they
have met the residence re-
quirement.
Increased support for re-
search and training in social
work was also advocated by
Mr.. Roney.
