By BOB DeARMOND Amidst a flurry of motions, cour- ter motions, misunderstandings, ac~ cusations and the most prolonged itloor detate of the present session, the House of Representatives this morning wrote a $90 ceiling on old age assistance benefits, instead of the present $60 into House Bill. The requirement that recipients of old age assistance benefits be citizens of the United States was tossed out the window and the residence requirement, was lowered from five years to one. ‘The vote on dropping the citizen- ship requirement was 15 to 9 in favor and came after a sharp de- bate on the issue. “If we knock out the present law and open the benefits to aliens, Ithere is no incentive for them to become citizens,” Rep.
