FEDERAL AID The Senate Finance Committee has approved a plan by which the Federal Government would pay more to poor States than to prosperous States for old-age as sistance and aid to dependent children and the blind. Under the plan. State income would be compared with the national aver age on the basis of Department of Commerce statistics. One half of that percentage, but not less than 33 1-3 per cent, or mare than 50 per cent, would be the State's share of the contribution to the aged, the blind and depen dent children. For instance, if the income of a given State were 80 per cent of the national aver age, it would pay 40 per cent, the Federal Government 00 per cent.

I I THEATER.", Gail Bussell and Diana Lynn.ij who endeared themselves toi filmgoers as the unpredictabel teen-agers whose "Hearts Werel Young and Gay," return to the Appalachian Theatere next Mon day in Paramount's "Our Hearts Were Growing Up," which co stars Brian Donlevy with the two, girls. Now slightly more grown up, the girls are none-the-less mischievous, and ""Our Hearts Were Growing Up" is reported ito have double the mirthful mix lups of its predecessor, which! [should be hilarity a-plenty. I Gail and Diana continue their! reckless goings-on by first adopt ing a bootlegger with a yen for culture, to act as their chaperone at a football game. That brings on complications, as they im mediately become involved with some of the bootlegger's products, causing their boy friends to quitj them in indignation. This serves as a springboard for the girls to invade wild andj wicked Greenwich Village. There] they hope to acquire the so phistication and poise which theyj believe will bring their beaus back to them. The girls are hard-; ly settled in their new surround-! ings, when big things begin to| happen to them. They are pounced upon by assorted Bohemian! characters, practically ruin a theatre performance, and bring about a police raid on a speak easy, necessitating their rescue from the law by their boy friends. These are only a few of the romantic antics in what is said to be a breezy, youthful comedy, studded with musing, madcap gladventures. Heading a reportedly excellent supporting cast are Billy De Wolfe and William Demarest, both of whom have receieved special commendation from pre view critics for hit portrayals. U.
