Budget costs for such couples in 20 cities surveyed by the La bor Department's statistics bu reau ranged from $2,641 in Hous ton to $3,366 in Chicago for the specific living standard on which the study was based. The bureau described it as "not a luxurious level, Dut one ade quate to provide more than the basic essentials of consumption." The budget cost estimates com pare with average Social Security payments of' about $125 a month to couples over 65. Officials emphasized that Social Security never was intended to supply more than minimum living cost protection.

The budget is described as rep resenting "a level of living which provides the goods and services necessary lor a healtlitul, selt respecting mode of living, and al lows normal participation in com munity life according to standards prevailing in large cities or their suburbs in the United States." The survey, based on data col lected a year ago, is just being made public. The cost of food-beverages and household appliances that have come to be regarded as essential.
