Gillman, director of the state welfare department, said "the federal government deems that whenever more than 25 per cent of a state's population above 65 years is receiving assistance, the situation must be looked into.

A workers alliance committee headed by Rulon Edwards of Provo protested against a 10 per cent welfare cut made necessary because of insufficient funds, and requested more liberal allocation of surplus commodities, enlargement enlarge-ment of present WPA sewing projects pro-jects and representation on state and county welfare boards. |
