Under the state welfare board pro- gram, funds with which to pay old age pensions immediately will rise to $160,000; the department under Mar- tell now has approximately $60,000; a total of $100,000 was ordered set aside by the state legislature in creating the state welfare fund. Pensioners to Increase ‘With the federal government enter- ing into the old age pension picture, Martell also foresaw an immediate 100 per cent increase in the number of pensioners in the state. At the present time, he pointed out, there are approximately 6,000 persons receiving the pension, which under the state law, is given to those who have no revenue, or other funds, and are over 68 years of age, Under the federal law, the age limit is reduced to 65 years. Martell explained that a “far great- er proportion” of eligible persons are living in North Dakota between the ages of 65 and 68 than between 68 and 75 years of age. As a consequence, Martell predicted the increase. Fraud Is Foreseen Lack of proper investigating per- BISMARCK TRIBUNE, By the Associated Pres BRIEF FARGO DELUGED Fargo, N.

CAMP SEASON Parents and Others Interested May Attend Final Activity Planned for Thursday Bismarck Girl Scouts who have at- tended the day camp will congregate ‘Thursday and enjoy one long camp- ing experience together, according to Miss Mildred K.

D, POPULATION DECREASES Pierre, 8. D.—South Dakota's popu- lation decreased 17,767 in the last five years, the 1935 state census show- ed Monday. Lawrence K. Fox, cen- sus director and state historian, re- ported 675,082 persons in the state in 1935, compared with 692,649 in 1930 and 681,260 in 1925. sonnel is one handicap facing the ad- ministration of old age pensions, Mar- tell explained. Inadequate funds have prevented organization of a field personnel to investigate claims, he ex- plained, with the result that in some instances, fraud may be practiced, or other deceptions may be effected. Martell hoped for organization of a new office personnel under the wel- fare board set-up, to provide greater efficiency in handling of applications for pensions, and distribution of pen- sion checks. In the past, he said, the department has been hampered by insufficient appropriations for the ad- ministration of the old-age pension department.
