Phoenix February 11 The Arizona legislature's interim committee recommends increasing aid to dependent children under state welfare laws. The plan would raise payments beyond 24 dollars for the first child and 15 dollars for each additional child, with details to be set later. Senate leaders urged higher aid, and a projected 10 percent roll decrease in old age assistance could save around 600 thousand dollars annually, offset by increased child aid. The discussion also covered liens and estate claims related to old age assistance.
