Welfare Aid in Peril
by LAYNE CREASON Kansan Staff Writer
The poor in Kanaas will get aid and during the next fiscal year unless Congress passes some new law of welfare reform legislation.
Jon Derrick, Douglas County welfare director, said he was hired by the department to supplement its present policy of providing matching funds to those who have need and make cuts to welfare recipients in Kansas university.
DERRICK SAID in a recent interview that he expects Wilbur Mills, D.D.K., chairman of the National Security Council, to support a bill which would increase Social Security benefits to the age. Such a bill would give aged persons more access to a month in social security benefits.
THIS WOULD reduce the amount of assistance the states welfare boards need to give the poor for assistance in other areas.
The proposal is a compromise to the Nixon family resistance to the Affordable Care Act every American family a guaranteed income of $1,600.
If such a proposal is not passed, county boards will have to make cuts in welfare payments.

"Most of my energies are focused to develop new settings where others will be involved," he explained. "I spend a lot of time in planning and funding the whole thing," he added. "I try to keep the students engaged, so they can be more productive."
The funding for the center comes largely from federal grants, and Schiefbusch said that the University universities was tremendous.
"We live by our wives," he said,
"here there's no ivory tower, no shelter, but so far we've made it."
The fact that the bureau has kept getting grants is one way to make staff that Schiefelbusch characterizes as "believing they can, through research in people's lives."
Two areas where important accomplishments have been made by the center are the development of language techniques in behavior modification and the establishment of research programs in deprived areas in a cooperative effort with neighbors to help children.
Schleibschus, the administrator, admits he misses the excitement of first hand interaction of the teacher and the clinician.
"All of us who start out to be clinicians and teachers, always get to help be to it," he said. "It is important that you are the first hand experience. Nevertheless, it is a terribly real fact that you can't turn your back on events that need attention—that need research and resource."
His determination to meet the challenges of child research rests on the need for a new approach to practical blend of the scientist and the humanist; the realist and the humanist; the realist and the humanist.
"You don't have the moral prerogative of saying no," he said.
have sent a letter to Robert Harder, chairman of the state welfare board, with suggestions on where cuts should be made.
Perhaps the important work is humanistic, with scientific experience, meaningful work. Two of his favorite authors are Tennessee Williams and Edward Washington, who understand the human condition
For Schiebfuselbush helping people of primary importance. It is an attitude, he said, that came partly from his war experience, but also that he him that he had to be involved in work that he believed in.
Further explaining his role as an administrator, he said. "There has been a revolution in our ability to help the handlers, who are now being spearheaded by programs like ours." For this reason, I feel, ultimately, I can be more productive, that is to say my influence is greater than if I had no involvement as an independent agent."
“There are a lot of things wrong with this world, especially for the handcapped,” he said. “He was induging in moralizing
"In small ways, we can help the adjustment to the world, he contends. In large ways, we can help the world adjust to them. They undertake this is a very difficult task."

well regards of cutbacks in the budget. If cuts are to be made, he said, they should be made where they will be.
Harder said that the budget could be met if across-the-board cut of 20 per cent to every softwear equipment were made.
IF THIS recommendation were adopted, an aged couple which currently gets $180 a month in aid would get only $144.
"If we were to reduce payments to the aged, they just wouldn't be able to get by Welfare费. We would need the cost of living in the first place," Derrick said. "DERRICK PROPOSES cuts in three areas. In 'special allowances,' such as housing and spare transportation. In payments to persons between the ages of 18 and 40 who 'should be able to provide for themselves. Under his recommendation these people may mediate medical aid and food stamps."
"We have about 40 such persons at the present who are working in communities, living in communes. These people have no intention of obtaining employment, so the system of free enterprise. If we took them off the welfare rolls we could save hundreds of lives. Derrick opposes giving aid to

THE THIRD) category in which Derrick thinks cubbats should be made is in the aid to dependent children category. The cubbats were must be mammal and would be used to each family's necessities.
If outbucks in the above areas are made, assistance to the aged, blind and disabled will not have to be reduced. Derrick said.
Some county boards are already starting to make cutbacks in the assistance given to those between the ages of 18 and
Technically, the state board must give county boards the authority to do this because of a ruling handed down last summer. At that time, an appeal by the commission but off payments to someone whose personal appearance precluded his getting a job, was quashed.
Since then the county boards have compiled with the rulings, opinions and appearant that they were going to give to make some cuts in their budgets.
Another area in which the county boards are trying to save money is the paperwork in handling accounts. They are now required that all county accounts are computerized they will be sent to Topeka and stored in a memory bank. Beginning in July, all payments will be made by a computer in Topeka, at instructive costs on the local level.

Heller Questions Computer Uses
Citing examples from a recent survey conducted among 40 U.S. schools, the district said that schools were divided into three categories which are schools facing no financial difficulty; schools headed for trouble of which there were 17 to 18 and schools headed for trouble of which there were 12.
Heller spoke to 250 members of the General Electric Six Hundred member of the Union Big Eight Room of the Association Big Eight Room of the Union at 12:30 Thursday during the second day activities in annual GEHUSA conference.
