Indiana fights to keep federal welfare funds halted
Indiana plans swift court action to restore about 18.5 million dollars in federal welfare funds after Oscar R. Ewing cut off the grants. Attorney General J. Emmett McManamon says two suits will seek a declaratory judgment and a writ of mandamus to compel continuation. The action follows a new Indiana law opening welfare rolls to public inspection despite a federal rule shielding recipients. Governor Schricker’s veto of the law was overridden.
