PORTLAND/OBSERVER Thursday April 22, 1971 Kinsey hot line As the Oregon House of Re­ presentatives completed its third month of legislative business, a new round of controversy has stirre d up around Oregon’ s welfare budget as the result of a report by Touche, Ross & Co. on welfare e lig ib ility in Oregon. This company is a nation-wide accounting firm , hired to study e lig ib ility in the A id to Dependent Children program, and the report pointed out that “ there are few problems facing Oregon which approach the magnitude in terms of cost, confusion and con - troversy as that of the public wel­ fare program .” The report revealed that wel­ fare in Oregon has grown from $112.7 m illio n I t th e !>67 bi­ ennium to $359.7 m illio n i i the 197i-73 biennium, representing a 60% increase over a fo u r- year period, thus reaffirm ing the find - ngs axnounc«67-39 bi­ ennium it was estimated that there w ere43,000 people maceiv- ing welfare, where today that figure is estimated to be nearly 100,000.. The House Task Force report indicated that perhaps between 15% and 20% of the cases in the ADC category were fraudulent, which was confirmed by the ac­ counting fir m ’ s figures showing that 18% of the ADC cases were found to be incorrect either in the amount of money given or in total e lig ib ility . The greatest shock effect of the entire report, how­ ever, was the cost factor involved in that type of e rro r, which show - ed that approxim ately$330,000 a month was being lost either through e rro rs o r by fraud. Gone but not forgotten Although dealing specifically with ADC cases, the report re - commended changes in adm inis­ tration and better ce rtification of e lig ib ility fo r welfare grants, which it was ascertained would save as much as 60% of this$33O, 000 a month during the next bi - ennium. One of the most controversial b ills to have come before the House this session. House B ill 1036, was passed last week. The net effect of this b ill would be to ban all non-returnable bottles and cans in Oregon, which would in essence prohibit the re ta il sale of beer o r non-alcoholic beverages fo r off-prem ise consumption in containers without a minimum refund value of five cents; and the b ill also provides fo r the preven­ tion of re ta il sale of beverages in pull - tab cans. The b ill met strong opposition from some segments of industry and labor, but the public reaction was over - whelmingly in favor of this ap­ proach as at least one means of attempting to get at the litte r problem which has become so ap­ parent along our roadsides and re so rt areas. The House also voted this week to create the Oregon F a ir Plan Association to provide essential property insurance in high ris k areas where previously many property owners in these areas were unable to purchase in­ surance. The insurance in­ dustry, the State Insurance Comm issioner, and residents of the affected areas are a ll in agreement that this legislation is the answer to the problem of eithe r no available insurance, or higher premium rates if in­ surance is available.

Weitz, seventh grade teacher, reports that the students who volunteered their tune after school have nearly completed their work on the project, a booklet entitled “ Black People Making H istory in Portland.” Information fo r the biographical sketches was obtained through personal interviews and form letters, giving the students some ex­ trem ely interesting contacts. This booklet w ill contain som e f o r t y t o f i f t y bio­ graphies of black people who are contributing to th e ir community through a variety of methods. The intent of this booklet is te •show students both black and white, that black people are very much a part of American life and history, and the way they live right now helps determine the future course of this country and the world I It should also show that many black people have overcome ob­ stacles through education and hard work, and, hopefully, that adults really do care about what happens to today’ s youth. The Portland School D is tric t w ill publish the book which should be going to press shortly. Once the book is published, each contributor, each student who worked on the project, and each student’ s parent w ill be in­ vited to an open house where they w ill be presented with a copy of the book. The students have worked en­ tire ly on their own time and have done an outstanding job of gathering and compiling the m ate rial, especially Anita E llio tt who worked every night after school in order to com­ plete the project.
