Los Angeles County supervisors warned that welfare outlays will exceed one billion dollars in 1971 as new recipients surge at 15 000 to 20 000 monthly. DPSS director Ellis P Murphy cited 7 million residents and predicted one in seven on welfare by July 1972 unless trends reverse. Reform plans include income maintenance for aged blind and disabled and moving able bodied recipients to work programs.
