Howe Rules on Relief Status in Harrisburg
Secretary of Public Assistance Arthur W. Howe Jr announced those on state relief with responsible relatives capable of support would be dropped. He said natural family responsibility exists where relatives live together or have habitually lived as a unit. A Pittsburgh CIO group plans protest against rulings. Howe denied the charge of mass removal, noting old age assistance tops at $30 monthly. A plan by the social security board would extend aid to eligible children under 16 with mothers deprived of paternal support. Preliminary estimates show transfer of about 40,000 dependent children and mothers to ADC could cut state relief costs and boost federal participation by roughly 160,000 to 200,000 dollars monthly.
