- Description:
- The document discusses a letter from Mr. Earl Deen urging Congressman George B. Schwabe to help the elderly with old-age compensation. Congressman Schwabe expresses his support for providing compensation to elderly citizens without unnecessary requirements. He criticizes Oklahoma politicians for abusing the old folks' program and suggests eliminating snoopers to increase the money in the elderly's monthly checks. The document also mentions Congressman Mike Monroney's initial reluctance to endorse the old age pension bill, but eventually, he supports it with some limitations.
