Illinois of Women Voters to consider ways and means of promoting a program to bring lllinois within the scope of the Social Security Act in giving aid to dependent children. It was pointed out by Mrs. Florâ€" ence Fifter Bohrer, exâ€"senator and daughter of the lake Governor Fifâ€" er, that Illinois now contributes to the support of the program in 40 other states through the federal taxes it pays. lllinois, however, reâ€" ceives nothing from the federal govâ€" ernment in return to meet the pressing needs of its own dependent children, because its existing adminâ€" istrative setâ€"up does not meet fedâ€" eral requirements.
