Grand jury urges welfare and education reform in county report
A county grand jury committee calls for reforming welfare spending and family planning, criticizes the education code on disease education, and urges more county funds. It faults the welfare department for rising programs beyond federal limits and notes venereal disease prevention and education are underfunded. It supports reintroducing venereal disease instruction and prefers paid work for welfare recipients by check to curb fraud. A second item reports a deadly clash in Buenos Aires where a longshoreman was killed and about a dozen dockers injured during a strike against a new government labor contract.
