dent of the Social Security Act,
designed to bring greater se-
curity to men, women, and chil-
dren, Oscar M. Powell, regional
director of the Social Security
Board announced today that
millions of people in the United
States are participating direct-
ly in one or more of the pro-
grams administered by the
Board under this legislation.

of the Board's responsibilities—
public assistance, on a basis of
need, and the two insurance
plans, unemployment compen-
sation and old-age benefits,
Powell stated that:
1. The Act's Federal old-age
benefits program is now in full
swing with approximately 32,-
000,000 applications for ac-
counts.

compensation laws and the
latest estimates indicate that
about 21,000,000 workers are
employed in jobs covered by
these 51 laws, and
3. Approximately 2,000,000 of
the needy, the aged, the blind

A summary statement of the
Board's progress follows:
By August 1, 1937, less than
two years since the approval
of the Social Security Act, a
total of 31,861,069 social security
numbers 'have been assigned to
individual applicants for par-
ticipation in the Federal old-
age benefits program. Applica-
tions for account numbers from
Texas total 1,168,682; Louisi-
ana, 375,423; New Mexico, 64,-
964.
Monthly retirement benefits
under this program will not be
paid until the beginning of
1942, but the Bureau of Fed-
eral Old-Age Benefits has al-
ready established its claims'
procedures for the adjudication
and certification of lump-sum
payments to eligible workers
who have reached the age of
65 since January 1, 1937. Pay-
ments are also being made to
the estates of workers who have
died after receiving Wages
which count toward benefits.
More than 14,500 such claims
have reached the Social Se-
curity Board in Washington,
and other claims are being
made daily at the field offices.
More than 9,500 claims have
already been certified to the
Treasury for payment.
Before reaching the second
anniversary approval of the
Social Security Act, unemploy-
ment compensation laws have
been approved by the Social
Security Board for all jurisdic-
tions of the United States. The
Board estimates that a total
of nearly 21 million jobs are
covered by these laws.
The unemployment trust fund
in the United States Treasury
amounted to $334,114,436.85 by
August 1, 1937, representing
deposits plus the accrued in-
terest of 37 States and the Dis-
trict of Columbia. Texas and
Louisiana will begin the pay-
ment of unemployment benefits
to qualified unemployed workers
on January 1, 1938. New Mexico
will start payments on Decem-
ber 1, 1938.
Powell estimated that 670,000
workers in Texas are covered
by the unemployment compen-
sation law, 212,000 in Louisiana,
and 44,000 in New Mexico.
Plans for aid to the needy
aged adopted by 47 States, the

Be kind to your feet; be
