Assistance Dept Expects Jump In Relief Demands
HaISburg reports acting secretary Robert P. Wray says public assistance rolls may rise with unemployment but cannot be predicted until economic conditions clarify. He stresses aid is for those with no other support and that applicants must prove they have exhausted self help. Wray calls aid a conditional right, contingent on resources and standards, and notes the department aims to promote self reliance while ready to assist if needed. In July 1945 Pennsylvania spent 4.762 million on public assistance to recipients, far below wartime Aube assistance and WPA wages peak.
