FIM PAYMENT UNDER
WASHINGTON, June 6—Congress
approved and sent to President Tru-
mun tonight legislation increasing hy
$184,000,000 annually the social se-
curity payments to 3,500,000 needy
aged persons, blind persons and de-
pendent children.
House approval was by voice vote,
after the senate earlier passed the
measure 77 to 2.
The bill boosts by .$5 a month a
federal contributions for needy aged
and blind persons and $3 a month for
dependent children. This mqjtes pos-
sible, under federal-state matching,
a maximum of $50 a month for each
needy aged person and the blind, and
$27 for a dependent child.
Under the present program the
maximum for th eaged and blind,
under the federal-state matching, is
$45 a month, for the dependent chil-
dren, $24.
Here is how the boosted benefits
would work:
The needy aged and the blind—
the federal government would con-
tribute three-fourths of the first $20
paid to a recipient. The state would
pay one-fourth. Then the federal gov-
ernment ami the state would match
50-50 up to a maximum of $60 for
each recipient. Thus, where a recipient
received $50, the federal government
would contribute $30 and the state
$20.
(The size of payments to the needy
persons is determined by the various
states. T)iey now run a low of around
$15 a month in some states to a high
of $05 in Colorado, which contributes
beyond the state-federal matching ar-
rangement. )
Dependent children — The federal
government will provide three-
fourths of the first $12 for the first
needy children in a family, and go
50-60 with the state up to a maxi-
mum of $27 for the first child. Each
additional child in the needy family
would get a maximum of $18 under
the matching system.
The increased benefits were tacked
on to a bill dealing with an entirely
different social security matter. The
bill is designed to block a move by
the administration to extend cover-
age under the old age and survivors
insurance section of the social se-
curity law to an estimated 500,0O0

(The “old age and survivors in-
surance” program is distinct from
the aid-to-the needy program. The
former is bused on tuxes on pay en-
velopes and payrolls, while the lat-
ter takes the form of outright grants.)
Baby Formula Is
Too “Wet” For
Dry Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA VITY, June 4—The
law was dry, the diapera were wet,
and as for the proof—it ran about
90. »
Prowler Car Officers R. L. Pratt
and S. YV. Stephens answered a call
to a tavern. The barkeep said a wo-
man with a small boy was bothering
the trade.
At headquarters she suggested a
change of didies for the infant.
Lt. Ed White started to hand her
the diaper bag when he looked in-
side.
The two bottles there weren’t the
nursing type, and the formula was
altogether wrong .
Even three-cornered pants won’t
put pints on the square in dry Okla-
homa. The police circled the lady
gently around behind the bars— jail
bars.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Coleman of Cor-
pus Christi spent the week end with
her mother, Mrs. Lillian Barrett of
Cameron. Mrs. Coleman remained for
a longer visit.
Mrs. Leona G. White is spending
a few days with her children in
Houston.
PRICE DANIEL AGREES
E!
AUSTIN, June 4—Attorney Gen-
eral Price Daniel Friday agreed with
United States Senatorial Candidate
Martin Dies of Lufkin that candi-
dates for the United States senate
are limited by statute to $10,000 for
campaign expenditures.
At the same time in a letter to Dies,
Daniel said: “I also agree with you
that the law should either be en-
forced or changed by the legislature.
This office stands ready to co-oper-
ate with the proper officials in the
enforcement of our civil and crim-
inal statues relating to campaign ex-
penditures".
“I know of no way in which such
a candidate lawfully could raise or
spend in behalf of his candidacy any
money in excess of that amount ($10,-
000)," Daniel said.
The attorney general quoted from
a letter in which he said Dies had
asked whether he could raise $60,-
000 from his friends for his candi-
dacy and if Daniel knew of any way
“to get around the law on this sub-
ject.”
Dies also had asked whethor the
enmpnign law is clear and specific
and whether Daniel would enforce
such law.
"You are no doubt aware of the
fact that this office does not have
jurisdiction or authority to handle
any criminal prosecutions except
those specifically delegated by sta-
tutes to the attorney general," Daniel
said. “All other criminal prosecutions
are within the exclusive jurisdiction

available at extra cost.
TJ EMEMBER that rough patch of
IV road up yonder where the
ruts and ridges make a wrashboard
seem smooth?
Recall the tiring tenseness brought
on by the drum and hum of road
noise and tremor even over
smooth concrete highways?
Well, clock away the miles in this
stunningly styled Buick — and
meet up w-ith the sweetest answer
to such matters this side of cloud
cruising.
It’s a ride that’s soft and smooth
as velvet,” folks tell us. And wre
tell them it comes from a host of
things.
It comes from the ample road-
weight of a two-ton car built low
and wide — and so beautifully bal-
anced it handles light as a baton.
It comes from the leveling buoy-
■ -
ancy of Buick’s all-coil springing
which puts a pillow of deeply
coiled steel at each wheel to soak
up the bumps and ripples.
It comes from the softness of
bigger, lower-pressure tires that
cushion away road tremors and
roughness — from the sure-footed,
sw'erve-free steadiness of Buick’s
extra wide Safety-Ride rims,
widest in the industry.
,A.nd it comes in special measure
from a brand-new engineering
gem we call Vibra-Shielding
which banishes vibration build-up.
Here for the first time you’re
freed from the motoring fatigue
brought on by tiny tremors piling
up into bigger ones. Here your
miles are made moss-smooth and
quiet —long journeys become
mere jaunts.
So why delay knowing the most
buoyant answer to any road you
ever traveled?
Gome visit us now. Know at first
hand the distinctive styling, the
flashing action, the velvety ride
over highway and byway that are
Buick’s and Buick’s alone.
Then follow your heart’s desire
and get your order in promptly.
We’ll take it in proper sequence
whether or not you have a car to
trade.

REASON FOR THE VIBRA-SHIELOIO RIDE
Placed with scientific exactness, 3 fat cushions of
special composition cradle the engine to ot to control
its vibration Frequency. Engine vibration it thut
kept "out of tune" with those that might come from
other partt of the car. The retult it to thield car
occupantt against tiring puliationt, cut road none,
make engine sensation almost imperceptible and
motoring practically fatigue free.
