Hathaway said yesterday. He told an audience here Tuesday that 30 -per cent of the five million older people in our nation still live in poverty, a fact which the Maine Congressman called "national shame." "I have been privileged to serve in two Congresses which recognized the needs of our aged people and did something about them.

I doubt that the achievements of past four years will escape the attention of the American people, for all look forward to the benefits and rewards which should be ours upon retirement," he added. Reviewing measures to improve conditions for the aged called in recent years, Hathaway the 1967 Social Security Amendments a "landmark 'While the amendments failed to go as far as some of us had hoped," he said, "one cannot overlook the fact that they provided the largest social sec. urity benefit increase in history." Medicare has added a muchneeded new dimension to social security benefits, the Economic Opportunity Act widened the attack on poverty: to include an assault on problems of the aged, regional medical programs are attacking diseases such as stroke, cancer and heart disease which cause 70 per cent of deaths among older people. The Older Americans which Hathaway sponsored in Congress has brought new and expanded services to the elderly in their own communities. Hathaway characterized the housing programs for the elderly, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as a model of enlightened service in meeting one of the aged peoples' most critical needs decent housing at a price they can afford.

Shute Calls For Block State Aid DIXFIELD Rep. Eldep H. (Denny) Shute called for the Federal government to stop meddling in state government. Republican candidate for Congress in Maine's Second District charged that "there are so many strings' attached to Federal Aid programs to states that the cost is prohibitive." "The number of administrators in Federal aid programs is so great that they in some instances outnumber the recipients," Shute declared. "I believe it is time we took a serious look at the Federal aid programs.

Let's evaluate them and determine which are beneficial. Those that do not prove helpful should be eliminated," he stated. "For example, in the area of education, I don't think states should be hamstrung with condition after condition in the use of these funds. Block grants should be given to states. These grants should be administered by the states, not by a bunch of bureaucrats from Washington," he declared.

"I believe that the Federal government should pro-rate a schedule of financial aid in education and deliver it to the states without strings. The commissioners of education and their staffs should, on a predetermined schedule, administer the funds," he said. "Who knows more about the needs in our education system than those people responsible for its administration," Shute stated. "This same program of block grants could be utilized in the area of pollution abatement, construction of modern highways, and in solving the health and welfare problems of our state," Shute declared.
