described in an Economic Newsletter on devel-

by Dr. Earl L. Butz, formerly of Purdue Uni-

The matter of pubicizing the names of recipi- -J

such disclosure would in many eases work

the procedure'for making the names of recipi-
ents available to the public needlessly com-
plicates administration of the law.
Between these views is another consideration
entirely apart from the propriety of expediency
of making public the names of recipients. This
is the question of writing such a provision into
the Constitution instead of dealing with it by
statute. The purpose of putting it into the Con-

aid to the blind. All grants to dependent chil-
dren were paid in full. The basis for an increase
to any individual would be a restudy by the
Department of his personal need and a revision
of his grant.
More than 88% of state funds for public as-
sistance go to recipients of Old Age Assistance, _
and approximately one out of every seven of

of $35 per month. This maximum is not in-
