More Persons Seek to Get on Relief in Arkansas
Welfare Commissioner Carl Adame reported a sharp rise in relief applicants in the past weeks due to poor crop weather. He cited a peak of 138,000 in a program phase, with expectations to reach 160,000 and possibly 23,000 miles in January. The all time high was 280,000. In March 1956 long weather-related hardships caused thousands of farm families to apply. Adame noted plantation owners largely resisted the program but are now more supportive amid worsening conditions. He also mentioned possible redistributions of surplus federal bonds and an effort by Arkansas lawmakers to secure more surplus food items through distribution.
