FOOD ALLOWANCES OF MANY INCREASED Harrisburg .-—~Food allowances of approximately 259,000 Pennsylvan- ians on public assistance rolls will be increased 20 per cent or approxi- mately $4,680,000 annually effective June 1st. Governor Martin announced the cost of-living increase last week and said it would apply to all relief recipients except the blind, who receive a flat pension, and some 5,000 old age as- sistance recipients now getting the $40 monthly specified by the Federal Martin's approval on the basis of a survey showing a 20 per cent jump since November in retail prices of foods needed to maintain a minimum dietary standard. A house resolution prompted the study. Relief Secretary Samuel Y. Ram- age said resolutions and reports from 45 county boards testified to critical hardships facing assistance recipi- | ents throughout the state, due to lower purchasing power of food grants and climination of free food- stuffs formerly available under the fecdlerai food stamp plan. Individuals receiving food allow- ances of $10.20 monthly will get $12 under the increase .Grants to a moth- er with two children will be boosted from $25.63 to $31.10, and those of a family of four from $32.40 to $39.50. The increase will go to 135,000 draw- ing aid to dependent children, 87,000 old age assistance and 38,000 unem- ployment relief cases. The increases will cost the state $3,600,000 monthly, the federal gov- ernment contributing the remaining $1,080,000. Ramage said he believed the added cost could be absorbed through rehabilitation and training efforts, help from employed relatives and war labor demands which have been reducing relief rolls.
