Welfare reform crusade cuts fraud in DC relief rolls
Sen. Robert Byrd leads a drive to purge welfare lastingly, reporting 60 percent of care for dependent children ineligible and 40 percent for the disabled in DC. Investigations reveal fraud, working recipients, and hidden support. Byrd urges trained investigators, warns costs rise, and notes national welfare at about 5 billion annually. He cites WV and DC limits and cites 4 million annual savings. Married couple Sally Rurup and Gary Gustafson wed in Shelby, with reception and plans to live in Polk after Sept. 1.
