Full Tribune Staff Writer Utah provides for its needy and its unemployed a scale of benefits midway between the national extremes of generosity and stinginess.

ALTHOUGH that difference is reflected in the number receiving unemployment insurance benefits, it does not appear to have an impact on the public welfare program. In July, the latest month for which, figures are available, the national average payment to old age recipients of public welfare was $73 15.

The Utah average was $75.68. Utah paid less than 26 states and territories, more than 27. JUNE FIGURES are the latest on the number of persons over 65 who receive public assistance. The U.S. average was 128 of every 1,000.

Utahs average was 107 of every 1,000. But a few states weighted the Rational average. Louisiana, for example, administered relief to 502 of every 1,000 of its citizens over the age of 65. Mississippi scored 407 and Alabama, 375. NEW YORK, near the other end of the scale, had only 33 of every 1,000 aged citizens on welfare rolls.

Utah ranked number 27 out of the 54 states and territories in the percentage of its aged population on public Welfare roles. THE OTHER big federally supported welfare program is aid to dependant children (ADC). Nationally, for every 1,000 children under 18, ADC was administered to 42.

Visitor Slaps Illiteracy Of Economy A "grave national problem was seen Sunday In "our large amount of economic illiteracy, by a former college educator turned big businessman, who arrived in Salt Lake City Sunday to deliver the annual Milton Bennion Foundation Lecture. DR. LAWRENCE Kimpton, Chicago, general manager of planning, Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, said Sunday that "our people In general do not really seem to understand the economic system which we enjoy in this country. That it is a grave national problem was seen in the fact that "our major issue with Russia is not on the atomic bomb or intercontinental ballistic missiles, but rather the challenge to our economic system, he said.

KIMPTON, who served during World War II as chief administrative officer of the Manhattan District's metallurgical laboratory for the atomic bomb project, said that although he had worked directly on the atomic bomb and has been deeply involved in the weaponry of the country since, he feels very keenly that "our security is not related to bombs or defense weapons, but to an understanding of what we stand for as opposed to the Communists. "If the West is to be in opposition to Communist Russia, he said, the least it can do is understand what the difference is. HE CHARGED the "poor education being given In our schools in the field of economics Is resulting in our people "simply not understanding' the free enterprise system, which is the way our economy operates. He claimed that "education, more education and still more education is needed at elementary and secondary school as well as college level if we would have an economically informed citizenry. MOST OF THE legislation before the country at present, he said, "such as medicare and revision of the tax system every single issue is an economic one, and not at all well understood by the electorate.

Dr. Kimpton will discuss "A Race With Catastrophe: Education- in a World Conflict, when he delivers the tradi-' tional lecture Tuesday at 8 p.m. in University of Utahs Union ballroom. The lecture is free and open to the public. HE ALSO will deliver the address at the regular meeting of Salt Lake Rotary Club Tuesday noon in Hotel Utah, said Graham A.
