Welfare Fraud

The director Of the Prince

Mrs. Elaine Starbuck said
her ONCE has referred six such
cases this year to the States

Her plea came in Upper MARI

centage. but we are not equipped
to ferret them all out" Mrs.

She said her % oyerworked

She has asked for six addi-
tional case workers. plus an
other car. to raise the motor
fleet to six vehicles. Some
workers are forced to drive
their own cars and collect mile
age expenses ct q rate Of 7
cents per mile.
Payments obtained fraudu-
lehtly from welfare have
ranged from $7s to $1,000. but
several hundred dollars have
been returned, Mrs. Starbuck
said. Several eases are still
being studied by States At

Mrs. Starbuck emphasized
that suspected cases reported

Mother Held,
Son Appeals
Is Premier
By the Associated Press

Indianapolis appliance dealer
Paul Vernon yesterday managed
to get as far as the second Sec
Rotary Of the Soviet Embassy
with an appeal for the release
OF his 69-year-old mother from
Russia.
Mr.. Vernon. whose name orig
inally was Voroneff, said the
second secretary promised to
bring his written appeal to the
attention Of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev.
The Indianapolis businessman
said he had four brothers and
one sister, all of whom are
American citizens. His father,
a minister Of the Christian
Evangelical Church, and mother
had returned to Russia in 1922
while the children remained in
this country.
Mr.. Vernon said his father
died and his mother had not
been heard from for 10 years
until about 10 months ago
when Soviet censors permitted
her to get three letters out Of
the country and to accept a
telephone call which cost $50.
Mr.. Vernon said his mother
had written she was absolutely
destitute and had been living
on the charity Of members of
her husbands old congrega-
ton.
Mr.. Vernon's father, a ma
tive Of Russia, arrived in this
country originally as pastor of
a RusSian-speaking congrega-
ton, which he described as
Baptist, in San Francisco. He
served later in a similar church
in New York before returning
to Russia.
