mittee, this week called on the State
Board of Control to suspend payments
of interest and principal ou the $L-
626,000 old age pension loan owed
Dallas banks until the legislature
provides more money for old age pen-
Bions.
Looney declared that the Boards
announced plan of paying off this
loan at the rate of $100,000 a month
from old age pension funds would
mean that 10,000 pensioners will have
to be dropped from the rolls.
He pointed out that the State al-
ready has more than $4,000,000 on de-
posit in the Dallas banks to which the
$1,626,000 is due, and that this $4,
000.000 is not drawing one penny of
interest.
"Is it right or logical to pay these
banks interest and principal from the
old age ptnsion funds in the dead of
winter when it means that 10,000 old
people will have to suffer, especially
when these banks already have the
use of $4,000,000 of interest-free state
funds," Looney asked.
"The state's obligation to its aged
needy citizens is equally as binding
and infinitely more sacred than its
obligations to these banks.” be in-
sisted. .
"Informed authorities have told me
that the state's contract with the
banks does not provide for the re-
payment of this money at any speci-
fied time, and there is no reason why
these payments cannot be postponed
until the legislature provides more
money for old age pensions,” Looney
asserted.
“The situation is this simple—sup-
pose you had just $100. You owe a
bank the $100, yet you have four
hungry children. Would you pay the
bank, or would you feed the children
and pay the bank later,” he inquired.
Meanwhile, Pension Director, W.
A. Little announced that investigators
are checking all border line cases
