Mrs. Flossie Dixon wrote to Congressman Schwabe seeking assistance for her disabled husband, who is unable to work and they have no income. The document suggests looking into state general relief laws and contacting the Oklahoma State Welfare Commission for assistance. The Social Security Board is working on amending laws to include disabled individuals under 65, but until then, there is no federal aid available. Congressman Schwabe is currently in Oklahoma but will address the matter upon his return to Washington.
