WeIfureCuse
Fraud Held
OVerStreSSed

Representative Edith Green
declared last night that too
much attention is being paid to
cases of welfare fraud and not
enough to the causes Of poverty.
Il do not condone the fraud
involved but I believe its
scope has been overemphasized
and its true roots obscured, "
Mrs. Green, Democrat Of Ore
gon, said. She spoke at a testi-
monial dinner at Howard Uni
versity honoring the Rev. Ar
thur A. Azlein Of the Michigan
Park Christian Church.
THE crux Of the problem is
that substantial number of
children are inadequately fed,
insufficiently clothed, and i'm
properly housed because one or
both parents are unemployed
for lack Of skills, because OF
racial prejudice in employment
policies or because the sluggish
economy Of ours is moving at
half throttle" she asserted.
The representative said that
relief eligibility rules in the
District are among the most
stringent in the country. While
she is opposed TO the dole con-
cept." she said, II believe that
no welfare program should be q
holding-type operation with nc
attempt made TO attack the
roots Of poverty. disease ano
joblessness."
Critics OF the "cheaters" or
the rolls have overlooked the
errors Of administrators. Mrs
Green contended. Where re.
proaches are In order. and they
are, these should be allocatec
among the recipients. I fail Il
understand how the errors oil
the administrators are corrected
by whacking at the recipients,

which went unreported for al

into a nearby stake truck.
According to Pvt. King, the
motorist was thrown out the
right side of the car when 1t
hit the boxcar.
Arlington authorities esti-
mated, on the basis of a
stopped watch found near the
body, that the driver died at
1853 am. He was found to
have a broken neck when the
body was brought to Airing
ton Hospital.
Relatives said the young
man worked as an orderly in

said they did not see Pvt.
Betcher from the time he was
dragged from the auto until
his body was found lying on
the street, run over by a car.
Miss Green testified she did
not know what started the
fight but that when she no.
ticed the soldiers car drifting
toward Smiths auto. which
was parked within a few feet,
she told Miss Turner to back
up Smiths car.
Miss Green said she was
seated in the back seat of the
auto and felt a bump on the
right rear wheel as Miss Turn
er backed the vehicle.
Detective Sergt. Joseph
O'Brien of the homicide squad
said that Miss Green, in a
statement. told police that
when she felt the bump she
looked out the window and saw
a man under the car.
Placed On Grass
Miss Turner jumped out of
car, according to Miss Green,
and screamed for the boys to
stop fighting and get into the
car.
Sergt. OBrien said Miss
Green reported that Miss
Corum and Jackson pulled the
man from under the car and
that then the Arlington group
sped off.
The sergeant said the others
claimed they did not know the
car had passed over Pvt.
Betcher.
Pvt. Betcher's companions
said they found him lying on
the street near the rear wheels
Of their car and picked him up
and placed him on a grass plot
at the curb. They did not
know he had been fatally in
jured, they said.
Hours later, when the five
suspects learned through news
paper accounts Of the death of
the soldier. they turned them
selves in to police.
DR.. Linwood L. Rayford,
deputy coroner, said the VIC
tim died of a ruptured heart
caused by pressure on the
chest. He said tire marks we're
found on his chest.
Sergt. O'Brien said impress
