The puzzle is the eompli rated result of federal, state and local agency policies and regulations. The 1964 Economic Oppor tunity Act, growing out of President Johnson's War on Poverty, became an opera tional nightmare participated in by a confusing process for federal, state and local gov ernment. Reluctance to come up with tax dollars to match Federal money in financing local welfare programs has often led to a policy of "no service due to lack of in terest” . General and Special Shar ing in replacing categorical grants tends to be more objective, but the "service dependent on interest and will power" still remains. Present policy failure is evidenced in that only 36% of the 25.6 million poor re ceive aid. and of those who ilo. it is inadequate. Aid varies significantly from state to state: it is paternalistic and degrading; it offers no incentive to work; and it is an unlair burden on property taxpayers and is leading cities and states into depression and bankruptcy. Present w elfare policies create a dependent and cyclic effect. From 1959 to 1969. 3.6 million more persons ap peared on relief (6.9 to 10.5 million), for a 52% increase. Escalating costs show 3.7 billion dollars spent in 1959. and 11.5 billion in 1969. This is an increase of 211% for federal, state and local miinirs combined. Money figures are not necessarily signs of failure, as they can be posi live signs of responsibility. However, the fact that third and fourth generation wel fare families are appearing on the rolls is reflective of cyclic welfare dependency. XYZ's of proposals of a Guaranteed Annual Incom«' come down to variations of the same theme - a com prehensive form of money assistance to all Americans in need. make 9:00 A.M. 1 1:00 A M. Dr. O. B.

They all share one common cause, namely that some thing in the framework of society must be overcome in order to alleviate poverty. Underlying GAI proposals is the belief that poverty in the midst of affluence is indefensible. On April 22, 1970, the Catholic Bishops of the United States assembled as the United States Catholir Con ference urged prompt enact ment of the Family Assis tance Plan. They contended that the present welfare sys tem has proven wholly in adequate to provide either a decent standard of living or incentive to the "beneficiary" families, but instead, is in many cases counter produc live and destructive of family life. G AI proponents believe that man is essentially a noble creature and with the twentieth century he can now be liberated from cor rupt constraints of economic, political and social institu tions. The 1969 Income Main tenance Commission Report staled a noble philosophy in these words: "Unemployment or under employment among the poor are often due to forces that cannot be controlled by the poor; the desire to work is strong, but the opportunities are not. Generally they are doing w hat they can . . . "Poverty is not a chosen way of life. Even tf the existing welfare and related programs are improved, they are incapable of assuring that all Americans receive an adequate income. U'c have therefore reommended the adoption of a new program of income supplementation lor all Amerirans in need." Most GAI minimum income figures hover around a $ 1.00(1 figure for a family of four. This is far short of the government's ade«|uate in come level of 17,100. If a person works, his $4.000 guaranteed income is reduced by 50 cents for each dollar of income earned. This 50 per cent formula then provides an incentive to work. Estimates of governmental cost run to an additional 20 billion a year. This cost, although only 2% of our Board selects advisors A total of 79 students and citizens are under considera lion for appointment to one ?f the three citizen Area Advis ory Committees in the Port land Public School District.

Reverend Edward Wilder gross national product of one trillion dollars annually, anil less than half of the fifty billion dollars added to our economy growth annually, has been considered too radi cal by many politicians. This political reality has ltd to the compromised plan of Presi dent Nixons Family Assis tance Program. The President's Fam ily Assistance Plan does not fit the comprehensive criteria of GAL The Plan is only a guarantee for a few, as there are too many eligibility re strictions. Single people are 7 hursday, May 74, 197a Page 5 ineligible and Ihe guarantee is only $2.400. which is in ade«|Uate and less than is c u rre n tly paid by many states. Nixon’s plan is not reform, except for very poor people in some very poor states. It also contains forced work and training programs, eon sidered impractical by com mentators. It would be a start, but a poor one com pared with need assessment. Milton Friedman calls the Nixon Plan, "a face lifting, when we really need radical surgery".
