Connally Bill
Would Increase
Old-Age Pay
Tom Connally, senior senator
from Texas, has introduced a bill
to increase the federal govern-
ments share in old assistance pay-
ments. The bill has teen referred
to the Senate Committee on Fin-
ance, of which Senator Connally
is a top-ranking memberi
Dr. A. J. Altmeycr, chairman
of the Social Security Board, tes-
tifying before a senate committee
on' Monday, approved and en-
dorsed the Connally bill and stat-
ed that it represented the views
of the board.
In 1939, the Connally amend-
ment to the Social Security su'o,
providing for the payment of two
dollars by the federal government
to each one dollar by the state
governments, passed the senate,
but was eliminate 1 in the Confer-
ence "committee due to objecti ms
from the Social Security Board.
The present hill has been work-
ed out by the joint efforts of
Senator Connally and the Social
Security Board members. The bill
does not carry a flat rate to be
paid by the federal government,
but provides a mathematical for-
mula for payments to be made in
reverse ratio to the state s pei
capita income per person. Thus,
the state with higher average In-
dividual incomes is more able to
pay its share of the pension, and
the less the federal government
will contribute, while the poorer
the state, the more the federal gov-
ernment will contribute.
Under the present law, there is
considerable discrepancy in the
amount paid to the aged in the
various states; this bill would
tend to bring about a more equal
pay to the old aged pensioner
throughout the nation.
Heretofore in Texas, monthly
old age pension payments have
been a little less than $14. On that
basis, under the Connally bill, the
combined payments would he
$22.50. Under recent enactments
of the legislature of Texas, if
funds are available, the monthly
payments would amount to $18.50.
Under the terms of the Connally
bill, with the same state contri-
bution, the monthly payments
would amount to $27.75 to each
old age pensioner.

Doc Colgrove has moved his
family to near Decatur, Texas, For
several years he has lived and
farmed on the Schaffer ranch
north of White Deer.
He has purchased two Wise
county farms and his home place
is located 4% males and; a little
north of Decatur on the new
Gainesville road. Doc will no
doubt get lonesome, away from his
many friends, and will appreciate
his friends stopping by for a visit
with him on their way down-state.
Doe is a splendid farmer and1
White Deer citizens will regret to
loose him. He is one of those hon-
est-kind of citizens who is anxious
for all to know his whereabouts
Avhen he leaves.
He stated to The Review editor
that if anyone had any bills he
might have overlooked, to let him
know at Decatur, Route 3.
Here’s hoping we’ll see Doc and
his fine family back on the Plains
before many moons have passed.
PRICE CONTROL ASKED

Groom Kills Three
3.4 per cent rise in the cost of
living in the last three months was
said by government statisticians
to have been one of the major
reasons why President Roosevelt
asked congress to pass price con
trol legislation.
The statisticians said that liv-
ing costs had increased only six
per cent since the European war
began in September, 1939, but
that more than half of the in-
crease had occurred in recent
months.
From the middle. of March to
the middle of June, they said, a
survey of items that wage earners
buy in 34 large cities showed that
food costs jumped 7.6 per cent,
clothing 1.2 per cent, rent .07 per
cent, utilities .07 per cent, house
furnishings 3.6 per cent, and oth-
er things 1. per cent.
