A proclamation affecting

while, said no rain is in sight
for the drought area stretching

Old Age Benefits

A number of proposals to liberalize
the Social Security program have
been made by Sen. Clifford Case
(R-N.J.).
The liberal Republican said that he
is for old age hospital care through
Social Security but that more is
needed.
He called for elimination of in
equities that penalize widows, the
disabled, families seeking ito educate
children and those eligible for Social
Security who wish to work past re-
tirement age.
Case called for the right to earn
$1,000 annually instead of $1,000
without endangering benefits, in
creases in family benefits to a maxi
mum of 1914, and individual worker
benefits to $137, benefits for full
time students up to % instead of 18
years of age and better disability pay

a Labor subcommittee which recent

the ,Manpower Development and

The proposed amendments, which
the subcommittee approved, Holland
pointed out, would expand the job

year, extend the program for two
more years, and provide new allow
ances to help unemployed persons
move to locations where there are

Thus, Holland said, the amend

to take its toll.
Holland pointed out that, at the
hearings, "35 representative of man.
