FAMILIES ON DOLE REPORTED FEWER W. P. A. Credits Payments fo Aged and Blind With Reducing Burden. By the Assoclated Press. Social security payments to the aged, the blind and dependant chil- dren were credited by the Works Progress Administration yesterday with a large share in reducing the re- lief burden of States and communities. Estimating the total number of families and single persons on the dole declined from 1,985,000 in March to' 1,820,000 in April, a W. P. A, report noted the social security pro- gram got under way in February. Its expansion during March and April, the report added, “contributed to the reported decline in the number of cases receiving general relief.” Another reason for the 8.3 per cent decline in relief cases between March and April, the W. P. A. said, was that some local agencies ran short of money, forcing them to curtail relief payments or discontinue them en- tirely. 900,000 Received Help. The W. P. A. report coincided with 2 Social Security Board announcement that more than 900,000 persons un- able to work received help during July. This included 715,007 over 65, 22250 blind, and 183,427 dependent children. Estimating the number of pensions ‘would be greatly increased during the next few months as new State plans are approved by the Social Security Board, officials said that between 200,- 000 and 250,000 old people were receiv- ing State pensions before inauguration of the program. Despite the decline in direct relief cases, the W. P. A. reported the total number of families and single persons receiving relief from the Federal, Btate and local governments—exclud- ing social security benefits—was higher in April than a year ago. 5,136,020 Cases In April. In April, 1935, relief cases tbtaled 5,136,020, compared with the 1,820,000 direct relief cases handled locally and 3,516,000 persons employed under the work program, s total of 5,336,000 in | April this year. States and communities also made larger contributions to relief during the first four months of 1936 than the preceding year, the report said, because they paid for part of the cost of W. P. A. projects in addition to the direct relief. Direct relief costs totaled $59,600,000 in January, when there were 2,210,000 cases, and $47,500,000 in April. TREASURY TO QUIZ i+ ARTS COMMISSION Questions to Be Presented to Body in Boston Session Next Week. ‘The Treasury Department will sub- mit a ntimber of questions relating to painting and sculpture for beautifi- cation of the Federal buildings here to the Fine Arts Commission when it uecuflva secretary, yesterday an- nounced the body will assemble Sep- tember 16, instead of the day following as originally announced, to suit the convenience of the members. Of primary importance are ques- tions related to the date of unveiling the statue to Gen. Artemas Ward, Revolutionary War hero, which is being given to Washington by Harvard University, and will be placed in the circle at Massachusetts and Nebraska avenues, near American University. Leonard Crunelle of Chicago, sculptor of the Ward me- morial will be in Boston for the meeting, Caemmerer said, to discuss arrangements for the casting of the statue in bronze. Final arrangements for its erection here will be discussed, as will the inscription, the character of the pedestal and stone to be used end landscaping. Dr. Charles Moore, the commission’s ehairman, who has been vacationing in Maine, will preside at the Boston gathering, which will be held in collaboration with Harvard authori- ties. SUES FOR B.ACK SALARY Bweitzer Claims He Filled Two Jobs in Cook County, Ill. CHICAGO, September 10 (P).— Robert M. Sweitzer, from whom Cook County has attempted to collect $533,817.92, allegedly withheld by him when he was county clerk, from 1010 through 1934, countered yester- day with a claim for $216,000 in back salaries. In a motion to dismiss the county’s suit to recover the money he claimed he received $9,000 a year as county clerk for the 24-year period, but was not paid for filling also the office of clerk of the county court, which was ereated by the constitution with a $9,000 annual salary fixed by the Legislature.
