Relief Burden; Board Warned
' PORTLAND, Dec ZS-CS-The state public welfare cotnmis
sion war -warned Tuesday, not to depend upon liquor taxes to
carry the relief burden. -
- . A H. Aaron, of the federal social security board advised
the commission to seek future
welfare , appropriations from the
state general fund because declin
ing -liquor : stocks may mean less
tax money which could be divert
ed ,for Jthe, commission's use.
j; Miss Loa Howard, state, wel
fare administrator, said however
no ..attempt . would be , made to
change present welfare laws at the
January session of the state leg
Islature. ; Commissioner David B.
Simpson proposed revision of the
laws so all commission appropria
tions could come from the gen
eral fund.
Miss Howard said the more than
$8,500,000 of the total $10,301,428
welfare appropriation for the bi
ennium ending next July 1 i de
rived from - liquor .taxes. She
pointed . out, however, .that the
commission as of October 31 still
had 48 per cent of the allocation
unspent' '. . : . :." ; ' ; -j
The commission appointed An
drew Juras, one of its child wel
fare - consultants, ; to work -'with
federal state and county agencies
in providing , nursery , school fa
cilities for children' whose "moth
ers are working' in war plants.
This problem it confined largely
to the Portland industrial area.
' General assistance for novem
ber was almost 50 per cent lower
than for the same month last year
with only. 7643 on the rolls com
pared to 14,779, the commission
reported. ,' ? -. , ? --
This reduction in number, how
ever, did not materially affect
expenditures, . it was pointed out
because the bulk of assistance
goes for, the aged who still re
quire assistance. -':':-
Discussion of the recent clos
ing of WPA -projects disclosed
that only 115 workers were taken
from the rolls. These presumably
will be routed to war jobs by
the US employment service.
It is expected that most of WPA
administrative staff will be taken
by other federal agencies.
