Word has been received here
that Herman Wells, son of Mr.
the President to attach his signa-'and Mrs. J. D. Wells of this city,
ture to this measure for same to and Miss Reta Wright of Ama-
become a law. The bill provides:
1. Pensions for needy old per-
sons over 65, on a 50-50 matching
basis with the States, with the
Government contributing up to
$15 monthly.
2. Contributory old-age pen-
sions for industrial employees
over 65, starting in January 1942,
and paying pensions from $10 to
$85 monthly, based on wages
earned after January, 1936.
3. Unemployment insurance to
be administered by the States, fed
by a federal fund, and protecting
those working for employers of S
or more persons for any 20 weeks
in the year.
4. Pensions for the needy blind,
on a 50-50 matching basis with
the States, the Government con-
tributing up to $15 monthly,
5. Federal aid to dependent
mothers and children, medical
care for crippled children, and
funds for public health promo-
tion and rehabilitation of the
physically disabled.
The broad program of old age
benefits, unemployment insurance
care for the needy, blind, depend-
ent mothers and children, is one
of the must progressive and for-
ward looking pieces of legislation
enacted by this Administration.
More than 30 states now have
some kind of aged pension laws
or similar laws to some of the
measures covered in this legisla-
tion. It is to be hoped that Tex-
as will soon comply with the pen-
sion requirements for the aged,
so that they may benefit under
the provisions of this legislation.
Motor Bus and Truck Legisla-
tion.—The President, Friday. Au-
gust 9th, also signed the motor
carrier regulation giving the In-
terstate Commerce Commission
authority to regulate rates, the
hours of employment, safety
equipment and securities issued
by motor carriers. Exempted
from the provision of the bill are
private trucks as well as trucks
hauling farm produced fish or
newspapers.
Representative Truax Dies.—
Congressman Charles V. Truax,
Democratic Representative at
large from Ohio died suddenly
here Friday afternoon. His last
words uttered on the floor short-
ly before his heart attack, were
as follows: “There are a half
