Carter welfare plan draws mixed reaction across parties
President Carter unveiled a sweeping welfare reform plan expected to cost 30.7 billion dollars yearly and cover 32 million Americans. Rep. John Anderson praised its general concept while HEW Secretary Califano predicted few major changes by Congress. The plan would abolish Food Stamps Aid to Families with Dependent Children and SSI, create up to 1.4 million work or training slots, require work for nonexempt recipients, offer income support via a federal cash payment, expand tax credits for the working poor, and provide about 2 billion in early relief to states and localities.

Energy bill push may raise costs beyond gasoline
President Carter's energy bill looks likely to pass in the same form, signaling higher costs for oil products and big cars as electricity rates may rise. Jim Wright warns plastics, phones, lights and other items trace to oil while high energy prices loom. Federal Trade Commissioner Elizabeth Dole cites growing doubts about compliance with anti credit discrimination laws and opens two investigations into home loans and credit cards for women, minorities and the elderly. Senate reports conclude federal agencies are swayed by industry, leaving consumers little influence in decision making. In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Hint declares a mistrial in Leslie Van Houten's retrial after jurors deadlock following 25 days of deliberations.
