Opposition grows to curbing social services plan
In Washington a Senate subcommittee led by Edward M Kennedy criticizes proposed HEW rules as unwarranted and dangerous. With 5 billion projected costs for 1973, lawmakers push to delay implementation and seek protests while sponsors in both chambers seek to block or modify the rules. The AFL-CIO and several Republicans urge careful hearings amid broader opposition to tighter eligibility and matching grant limits.
