Relief ProE)ers
Drop II Cases
As 'Chise|ers'
D. c. Check Finds
So Pct. in Survey
Were Ineligible
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

More than half of District
relief recipients investigated
since mid-November have been
cut from the rolls as free
leaders.
A team assigned to find CHS
elers examined 20 cases of aid
to dependent children. OF
these, II were found ineligible
for welfare payments, Senator
Byrd, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, revealed today.
His report from the Wash
ington Welfare Department
clearly Indicated that some
mothers and fathers, or men
living with mothers, were US
ing children to draw a public
dole.
Adults Had Jobs
Adults were discovered work.
ing for pay at the same time
they were receiving from $39
to $233 monthly in relief
grants. Average grants in the
discredited cases amounted to
$133.82 a month.
AS a result Of the congress
sionally-orde check, District
administrators have ordered
support withheld this month
from homes of some 76 children
and guardians. A total Of
$2,275 had been paid them
monthly.
The project has made no tax
savings, however. Investigation
costs so far amount to $40, 900.
The weekly average from now
on will run about 1910.
But welfare workers have
made no attempt to discredit
the investigation by its price
tag.
Average % Months
Until the cutoff, Senator
Byrd said, these families were
carried on welfare for an av-
erage of 23.1 months-some for
as long as 10 months; others,
for as short a period as three
months.
Personally, I found the
rate of infringements much
higher than ! had expected"
District Welfare Director
Gerard Shea commented. He
put five investigators into the
field after Congress wrote the
inquiry order into the budget
on the recommendation of Sen
ator Byrd's District Appropria-
tions Subcommittee.
Senator Byrd said he was
surprised. He noted that only
a small number of cases had
been investigated. But the per-
centage results-58.8 per cent
of cases investigated were
closed-were intensely inter-
esting" to the West Virginian.
If the trend continues, he
said, Congress will consider
adding investigators to the
special unit and accelerating
its work.
Mr.. Shea forwarded findings
of the first eight weeks of in
vestigations to Senator Byrd
on Monday. The project worked
like this:
Cases were selected at ran
dom for a check. None was
particularly suspect.
Investigators aimed to look
over 280 aid-to-dependent-
children cases, five per cent of
the load, and 1872 general public
assistance cases, 10 per cent of
the load.
They started on ADO. Usually

There was nobody to pitch batting prac-

learned to hit leftieS in game play. The
last two months of the season know he

The record book shows that Powell

not worried about it," King maintains
Look at 1t this way-when he cuts down
his Strikeouts to, say 10 a season, as he
will, that'll be 48 more times when he'll hit

1t Happens Every Spring

MIAMI, MARCH This young man."
Clyde King spoke in his soft voice. will be
the most exciting ball player since Mickey
Mantle" He indicated with a nod an out
size youth who wore "16" on the back of
his Oriole uniform, boy with shoulders so
broad that his numerals seemed dwarfed
as If in agate type.
Spring training makes reckless proph-
cts of almost all mortals. Yet King has no
reputation as a baseball man who gives
praise without reason. When he was young
and pitcher for the old Brooklyn Dodgers
his boss Branch Hickey, paid Clyde rare
tribute. "Clyde's head is years older than
his arm" the Mahatma intoned.
Clyde was speaking of John (Boog)
Powell of Key West, Fla, 20-year-old left
fielder of the Orioles. Clyde manages the
Rochester farm team of the International
League and helps Manager Billy Hitchcock
with the Baltimore coaching in training
camp. He knows Boog Powell, who hit 80
home runs and batted 1921 for Rochester
last year as the youngest regular in the
TripleA circuit

gested. II think of names like Willie Mays,

Robinson -.
wait and see," King advised Don't
forget that said it."
Il 4 q Il
WHATEVER 1T is that Powell has, its
contagious. Hitchcock, who has been in
baseball for long time, although this is
his first season as big league manager,
has committed himself on Boog. Hes my
leftfielder," Hitchcock says fatty
Jim Gentle, nominal smuggling ace of the
Orioles, looks in awe at Powell. 1.-TWO seasons
ago Boog was in camp as first baseman,
GENTLE reminiSced. 1T was my first time
in Baltimore uniform I'd been bought
conditionally from the Dodgers to battle it
out with Bob Boyd Of the three of us
Powell was the best, but Paul Richards felt
he needed more experience"
GENTLE, now the most valuable first
baseman in the American League if Nor
man Cash of the Tigers isn't laughed.
Boyd and looked so mediocre that we
made major league first baseman out of
an 18-year-old kid"
whats Powell got?" King says well,
aside from size and youth only two things
are going for him-sheer ability and Won
derful baseball instinct"
He sounds too good to be true. Then
Boog whistles few drives over the concrete
wall of Miami Stadium and you wonder If
Hitchcock, King and the others of the
Orioles board of strategy really are over
generous.
BOOG IS A QUIET YOUNG MAN
whose voice may veil his determination,
although his actions and record do not.
The Orioles roster lists him as 6-3 and 235
pounds. I'm 6-4h and weigh 24O," Powell
amends. He is all bone and muscle.
HE looks like Johnny Mize and hits
like him." King volunteers. What he's
got that Mize didn't have is speed and
agility. For man so big he can move"
Nobody ever calls him John, or even
Big John. He is "Boog" or "Booger." His
father explained why. Here in the South"
