-PITTSBURGH POSTGAZETTEj WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1968- THE WELFARE CRISIS III Are Those on Relief Loafers? Facts Say No By SYLVIA PORTER (Third in a series of four column.) To understand the disillusionment wiUi our present welfare system, here are answers to key questions: wrong with today's welfare system? wrong Is that it doesn't work. It covers only about 8,000,000 of the 30,000,000 Americans now living below Store Sales Off in Week Department store sales In the district were lower last week than in the corresponding week a year ago, the Bureau of Business Research at the University of Pittsburgh reported yesterday. Metropolitan 1 1 1 a rgh sales were 0.7 per cent lower for the week, but up 4.9 per cent for the four weeks ending May 25 and 3.9 per cent higher for the year to date. Dowtonwn sales were off 5 per cent for the week, but ahead by 1.5 per cent for the four weeks and 0.7 per cent for the year to date. the $3,300 poverty level established by the federal government for a family of four and lowing, it has become a hodge-podge of 50 separate programs with each state determining its own level of payments, each working out Its own regulations, each defining its own eligibility standards, each deciding whether or not to accept federal funds available for public assistance.

On this last point: 22 states do not accept all of the federal funds available for assistance purposes. are the 30,000,000 below the poverty line? A. First, they are 15 per cent of our population and one-fourth of all our children. More than half are, In fact, under 18. Approximately 80 per cent of the children on welfare live in homes without fathers; among them are one of every 10 white children but six of every 10 non-white children.

about the 8,000,000 on relief? A. The vast majority are either too young, too old, too sick or too disabled to be self-supporting. More specifically, more than 2,000,000, mostly women, are 65 or over. More than 700,000 are totally blind or disabled. Almnst 4,000,000 are children whose parents cannot support them.

About 1,100,000 are their mothers; about 100,000 are their physically or mentally incapacitated fathers. Only about 60,000 are able-bodied men. Q. What does this profile of our welfare population say? A. It gives the lie to thce who claim that those on wel fare are "loafers" who won't work.

Most do not work because they cannot. This alone, argues the Rockefeller Committee, means that our present welfare system needs drastic and immediate reform. At the very least, the committee urges these major changes: the aged, blind and disabled, who constitute one-third of welfare rolls, should be transferred to Social Security. Day care facilities should be substantially expanded to enable welfare mothers to work, if they can. Incentives to work should be liberalized to spur those who can work to do so.

Q. What are the drawbacks to working? A. Here's just one. Under our welfare system, those on welfare have lost one dollar in benefits for every dollar they have earned at work, a 100 per cent tax! This has meant that the highest income tax paid in the U.S. has been paid by mothers or fathers who qualify for relief under the "Aid to Families With Dependent Children" program.

There has been some modest liberalizing of this rule this year, but the change is only a starter. In practice, disincentives to work still are an integral part of our welfare system. Q. Won't reform of the system be sufficient? A. No.

What Is needed is a new approach to poverty to replace our present cruel, archaic, costly, inefficient system of welfare payments. TOMORROW: The Proposals. costs $8 billion a year to do only this. Ii is, in the words of Joseph C. Wilson, chairman of Xerox Corp.

and also of Governor Rockefeller's 12-man committee on public welfare, "demeaning, Inefficient, inadequate and has so many disincentives built into it that it encourages continued dependency." It is loaded with degradations and humiliations, undermines human dignity and Importance. Its rules are often so conflicting I Miss Porter Market Action In Commodities that they discourage people who want to work from doing so ana deprive children of the motivation to break away from a recurring cycle of relief. Q. How did this come about? A. Welfare was created during the depression 1930's as a temporary measure.

Will you please explain, In simple language, a bond which yields 6V per cent. You say you can sell the bond at any time, but may get more or less than you paid if interest rates go down or up.

Why? A. There are dozens of recently-issued utility bonds that carry interest coupons of and even 7 per cent. If you put $1,000 into a bond carrying a 6'i per cent coupon, you will receive $32.50 interest every six months, or $65 a year. That represents a return of 6V4 per cent on $1,000 invested. If money rates should rise further let's say to Vk per cent, this bond would not continue to sell at $1,000 in the open market because, paying out $65 while other $1,000 bonds were paying $75, it would no longer be worth the $1,000.

It might fall to, say, $875. If interest rates should decline to, say, 5 per cent, or only $55 on a $1,000 bond, your bond would then become a "bargain," since it would continue to pay the $65 every year. So it would rise in price to, let's say, about $1,150. Q. How are the Dow Jones stock averages computed? A.

The Dow Jones industrial average is made up of 30 leading N. Y. Stock Exchange issues, with their total price divided by a figure which takes past stock splits into consideration. The rail average is computed from 20 railroad stocks, and the utility from 15 utility Issues. The "65 stocks" figure is a total of all three.

Q. I've been in the stock market for 10 years and have not done well at all. My husband is now five years from Ntirement. Would you suggest mutual fund? A. If by "in the stock market" you mean dabbling, then it's obvious this is not your forte, and you should quit.

If you spent 10 years on the golf links and succeeded only in losing balls and racking up a score of 200 on the first nine holes, it would be obvious that golf is not your game. You have two choices now: either buy quality stocks and hold them; or turn your money over to professional mutual fund management. I'm tending you data on both. If you do go into a mutual fund, make sure you don't contract for a 10-year payment plan if you're only five years from retirement Cable division By JACK MARKOWITZ Poit-Gozettt Buslnest Editor Anvil Products Inc. may be an unfamiliar name, but the Allison Park firm, marked its first half -century the other day with an open house that shed a sort of glow on the humble hardware of plumbing.

Paxton E. Paxton calls for Mellon Bank to sign up merchants and cardholders in the correspondent bank's area, collect bills and run the entire bookkeeping and recordkeeping operation through its own computers here. The associate bank gets a percentage of total credit card sales. The franchise deal calls for the correspondent bank to sign up merchants and cardholders, and to collect bills, with Mellon Bank offering technical and marketing assistance. The franchise bank is charged an installation fee and a percentage of credit card sales.

The banks which so far have joined the plans, operate a total of 79 offices, nearly doubling the credit-card spread of Mellon Bank's own 90 branches. Banks taking part are Gallatin National, Uniontown; Northwest Pennsylvania and First Seneca, both of Oil City; Marine National, Erie; War-ren National, Warren; First National of Lawrence County, Lawrence Savings and Peoples Bank, all of New Castle; Liberty Trust, Cumberland, First National, Waynes-burg; Second National, Con-nellsville; the National Bank, North East, and Hartley National, Bedford. not to file for the merger until 1 p. m.

President James R. Mcllroy quietly pointed out that the pipe coupling business is in "a declining market." Ten years ago, he says, the firm "made nothing but threaded couplings; today they're not more than 50 percent of our business." Why? Partly because steel pipe has been going down, aluminum and plastic coming up, and because of increasing sales of plain-end pipe sections that can be welded together.

Import Problem But imports are the real storm cloud. A lot of imported steel consists of threaded and coupled pipe and of loose couplings and the foreigners' advantage is "nothing but labor," claims Mcllroy. "A threaded coupling from Japan can be set down in Pittsburgh at less than our cost of raw material," he says. Then what's holding his customers? "A great deal of loyalty" is part of it, he says frankly. And that's the background for the new, less restrictive company name and for diversification into new products like fittings for plastic pipe and others that "we're fooling around with." The company has four other plants in the U.

two in Canada, sales of over $5 million a year, Whatever happens to the threaded coupling market, Kenneth Paxton has been vice president for the past 22 years and will continue to hold that position along with the chairmanship.

Exchange Foreign wells and some that wouldn't fit on your little finger. Most couplings are threaded. The big pipe mills of the Pittsburgh district normally ship a coupling with every length of pipe. This has been Anvil's biggest market, as one of the country's four largest makers of couplings. Bustling Activity Plant manager Dick Holliday showed visitors machines that can thread down in a bath of oil through three stacked couplings, gouging out the spiral pathways that permit lengths of pipe to be fitted together.

The plant is filled with the staccato of finished couplings clunking into metal "tote boxes." And there's one machine that sounds like a cannon: with a tremendous thump it knocks a coupling about the size of a whisky glass out of a single slug of cold metal.
