Rep. Marvin Roberts told the House Appropriations Committee good schools and education will nearly wipe out the public welfare cost of illegitimate children. The De Soto Parish lawmaker sits on Rep. Walter Cha chere's committee conducting statewide hearings on the issue. The panel opened hearings on the 411 million general appropriations bill as department budgets were reviewed. Public Welfare Director Mary Evelyn Parker said Louisiana has 100 000 illegitimate children and less than 15 percent are served by public aid.
