DES MOINES, (rP) The Iowa taxpayers association Monday urged nDeranzation of regulations governing the amount pensioners may earn before they lose their state allotments. Such a move would give many of the elderly persons more money without increased cost tq the state and would enable them to take temporary jobs witnout fear of losing their pensions, the association added. At present, pensions are granted on a basis of need and a pensioner may earn a small sum.

However, pension officials do not consider a person as being in need if he has earnings of $300 or more a year. "If the regulations could be made somewhat more liberal in regard to earned income, it seems reasonable to suppose that a great many more of those being assisted might get at least casual work if not steady employment," the association declared in an editorial in its publication, the Iowa Taxpayer. "At least the fear of being removed from the lists in case temporary earnings meet immediate needs should not be allowed to interfere with accepting such work as is available and suitable. The problem should receive prompt attention from national and state welfare officials. The association said, that of the two proposals now 'before the legislature to liberalize pension payments, the one removing the limit is preferable to the one raising it from $25 to $40 a month.

"If the limit is removed the state can take care of all cases on the basis of need without being under pressure to give the maximum allowance because the legislative maximum is construed by the public as fixing a reasonable pension basis," the editorial added.
