C0NGRESSCH1EFS Roosevelt's Promise to Seek Legislation at Next Ses sion Prompts Study 28 States Now Grant Aid By HAROLD D. OLIVER, WASHINGTON, Sept. 37. ( AP) President Roosevelt's promlae to teek old age pension legislation by the next congress baa prompted leaders to ponder three questions: Whether It should be compulsory or optional with the states; how the money Is to be raised, and whether U should be en outright federal grant or be handled on a matching basis with the states. Much Information on experiences with penrton plans Is available to the legislators. It was ferreted out In recent labor department survey show ing, among other things, that manda tory state statutes have been more successful than optional. 28 Stntea Hare Pension. Twenty-eight states. Alaska and Ha waii now have old age pension laws. Twenty-three are mandatory. The rest leave It to the counties to decide . whether they want to participate. At the end of 1033 pensions actu ally were being paid In only 18 states and Alaska. These were assisting H&. 674 old people at a cost during the year of $26,050,248. New York still was far In the lead, with 44 per cent of the total pensioners and M per cent of the outlay. New York had 61.106 pensioners on the rolls at the end of 1933. They received during that year 613.6Q2.0BU. Mlsa Florence E. Parker of the federal bureau of labor statistics who made a separate survey, said the number of beneficiaries appears to have reached the peak there and now was on the decline. Payments Decline. "Monthly disbursements are also declining In New York," she said, "due partly to decreased funds, but partly, also, to a scaling down of benefits considered to have been too liberal In the beginning." The survey disclosed a "growing dif ficulty with regard to funds. Espec ially In states where the county beara the whole cost." In 16 of the 30 states and terri tories now having old age pension sys tems, the applicants must have reached 68 years of age; In 14 states 70 years, and In one, North Dakota. 66. Seven of the laws provide that the state shall pay the whole cost; nine provide for state aid to counties, ani 14 place the entire cost on the county. Sources Differ, Until 1033 all the laws provided funds for pensions through taxation w th the beneficiaries putting up no money. Several of the 11 statutes en acted since then provide for a poll or per capita tax which all have to pay. even the pensioner. Some of the money comes from taxes on horse racing and liquor. Other states make appropriations from general tax re serves. The required period of state resi dence varies from 33 years In Arizona to five In Delaware. The rate of pension ranges from 613.60 a month In North Dakota to 33 a month for males and 646 for females In Alaska. Moat states pay $26 or 30. In Alaska and Delaware the act is administered by a state agency; in Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New York. Ohio, and Pennsylvania (effective next December) by county boards under state supervision; and In the remaining Jurisdictions by the county authorities. 4 All Dressed For Party PRICE FIXING Pretty Helen Barlon trie, on the costume she will wear at the bal masque at Del Monte, Cal., 8 opt. 29.

There's just aa many kinds of service aa there are people. Take Mrs. K for example, Above everything else she wants a ear that steers easy. ..so It's up to me to keep the front tires pumped up a little harder than usual and check the grease even between lubrication jobs. Mrs. D is always In .a hurry never will give me a chance to touch her car. I'll have to tell her thai a little air will stop the rear tires from screaming when she takes a corner on two wheels. Mrs. B comes here regit Inrly because her spoiled young son thinks I'm funny. You should see my imitations sometime. Mr. 3 doesn't seem to bother about anything. But if his battery runs dry, or a lubrication job is past due he blames me. I have to keep a careful record on his car. Many types of dealers offer good service clean the windshield, etc, etc But from Smiling Associated Dealers you get that friendly extra helpfulness that gives "Service" a new meaning. There's a reason for it. In the coast-wide system of Associated Service each individual dealer owns his own business. His job is to build a permanent business in his own community. Naturally he goes beyond the rule book of service in whatever personal, unusual way your needs call for. Take a look sometime at the creed of service that is his guide.
