Mills Sees Federal Welfare Reform as Only Path Ahead
Rep. Wilbur Mills argued state welfare reform cannot fix the system and urged a federal takeover backed by Mills and President Nixon. He predicted Congress will approve a broad federal plan this year, noting California would save about 235 million in the first year. Reagan opposes a minimum income provision, but Mills urges reconsideration.

Dorn presses revival of welfare residency rule
Supervisor Warren Dorn called a news conference to urge California to re enact a residency requirement for welfare recipients to curb the load and migration. He cited 1948 and 1963 Supreme Court decisions and noted New York and Hawaii exploring similar rules. He proposed job mandates for recipients, restricting aid to residents who stay in state and counting goods and services in lieu of cash. He also advocated a constitutional amendment to bar property tax use for welfare if reforms fail and supported a joint suit with the County Supervisors Association to challenge Reagan administration vetoes on welfare funding.
