Connally Seeks Tripling of Federal Old Age Pension Share
Senator Tom Connally has introduced a Senate bill to double the federal contribution toward Texas old age pension payments, aligning with President Roosevelt's plan to vary federal grants by state per capita income. The measure would yield about 2:1 federal to state funding, raising typical payments from about 18.50 to 27.70 monthly with similar state input. The bill passed a substance approval in a Senate hearing and is now referred to the Finance Committee where Connally serves.
