leave the school board"

me to serve a full school year
with the new superintendent
Of schools and the present
school board" he said.
His withdrawal sis not to be
construed in favor Of any
candidate" he added. The

Senators Order HEW
To End Relief Abuses

tive measures authorized in

West Virginia had the high
est rate of ineligibility, 17.3 per
cent, although the State had a
low rate, is per cent, for
families who Intentionally con-
cealed of misrepresented facts,
the reports showed.
Agency Errors
Most ipeligibility was re-
lated to errors by welfare
agencies. Among these were
inadequate determinations of
eligibility, failure to follow up
on changes in a family's cir
cumstances, and misinterpreta-
tons of local welfare rules.
In his letter accompanying
the report, Secretary Celebrezze
said the investigation showed
eligibility was being validity
determined for the vast major
ity of families covered by the
program.
However, he said, HEW is
Tightening its rules to control
the program better.
BY September !, all States
must set up a continuing pro-
gram to reinvestigate a sam
pling of cases in the AFDC
category each month.
Requirement Changed
BY next January, this sys-
tenn also must be in effect for
the other Federally supported
relief programs, which aid the
blind. aged and disabled.
In addition to this, HEW's
Welfare Administration has
changed a requirement that
the eligibility of families re-
ceiving assistance must be re-
determined at least once a year.
Effective July !, this must be
done every six months.
The investigation was or
dered at the request Of the
Committee after an invest
igation of District relief rolls,
launched by Senator Byrd,
showed more than so per cent
Of AFDC families checked were
ineligible.
Because an investigation had
already been made in the Dis
trict, this Nationwide review
was not carried out here.

latitude in transferring funds
from one project to another.
Conceivably some readjust-
ment might be made to keep
Apollo on the track. How
ever, to transfer funds from
some other project to Apollo
would be tantamount to ad-
hitting that the other prof.
ect was something less than
essential. This would be en-
barrassing, to say the least.
In past years the space
committees occasionally have
urged NASA to postpone an ex-
penditure for a year. This has
worked up to now, but with the
deadline for the moon mission
no more than five fiscal years
off, there is question whether
such postponements can work
in the future.
