Security Act Criticized by Ohio C of C Official in Athens
George B. Chandler, secretary of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, told Athens business leaders that the Social Security Act is a political device that fails to aid the jobless.

He warned Ohio would shoulder a large tax burden under the plan and explained grants depend on state compliance with accompanying social programs.
