n 1953, Eisenhower created the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to administer federal programs related to public health, schools, and welfare programs. He also signed into law changes to the Social Security system - payments to older Americans were increased and farmers were brought into the system. He supported an increase in the minimum wage, though he spent less money on the public housing program begun under Truman. Another major accomplishment of Eisenhower's presidency was the beginning of the national highway system, which millions of Americans still use every day. In 1953, Eisenhower named California governor Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. A more liberal Republican, Warren led the Court to many important decisions that moved the country in a progressive direction.
