Groundwork For Social Security Will Be Laid
Washington August 30. With social security payments blocked until next year the administration taps a ten million dollar fund to lay the groundwork for old age pensions and unemployment insurance. Roosevelt says an adjournment filibuster killed the appropriations bill so no grants to states will be ready before January. Studies and administrative setup will proceed for quick action after funding arrives. A census bureau effort will supply data for both pensions and unemployment plans. The ten million dollars from the work relief fund will finance two projects, one in St. Louis mapping 1900 census names and birth dates by state and town for age checks, the other a census of business to aid unemployment insurance planning.
