wished to start Figurine to
help people prevent illness and

tudes toward themselves. She

of herself and others into a ll

diets have been medically ap
proved, and her medical know
ledge enables her to work
closely with women who are
on Weight Watchers and medi
ca lly designed diets. Reduc
ing programs w ill be tailored
to
each woman’ s specific
needs, in accordance with any
doctor’ s wishes.
"W e w ill have reducing ma

Welfare reform
amendments supported
1 he League of Women Vot
ers announced it w ill support
Senator Abiaham Rlbicoff* s
welfare reform amendments
when they are Introduced in
the Senate.
The
announcement
was
made by League President
Lucy W . Henson who stated:
"T h e R ibicoff amendments
w ill provide the brand of wel
fare reform which this country
needs. They are a significant
improvement over the pro
visions of H .R .1 and, if passed,
w ill go a long way towards re
lieving the welfare crunch now
squeezing both welfare reci
pients ami state fiscal re -
sou rces.
"W e supported House pas
sage of H.R. 1 with some res
ervations but we have ab
solutely no reseivations about
the seriousness of the welfare
c ris is .
Legislation is des-
pei ately needed in this session
of Congress to counteiact
state cuts in welfare ro lls and
benefits."
Among the reasons co n tri
buting to League support,M rs.
Henson cited that R ibicoff pro-
posals would: set an Initial
$3,000 yearly income flooi foi
a fam ily of four; give moi e fis
cal re lie f to (he states; gu a i-
antee that no teclpient receive
less than he wasgetting in J >in-
uary, 1971; and prov kle betlei
protections foi the rights of
welfare recipients than the
House passed b ill.
The League president was
also c ritic a l of the Jepth of the
Adm inistration’ s commitment
to welfare reform as a top do
mestic p rio rity . "W e don’ t
see the Adm inistration push
ing too hard in the Senate not
do we understand rhetoric that
one day speaks of Improving
tlie lot of the 7-1/2 m illio n
children receiving benefits
arid the next day stigmatizes
their parents as cheaters and
mat Inge i ei s.”
M rs. Henson announces that
special txilletins weie I« I ng
sent to 1300 Leagues through
out the country calling fo r an
all-out, end-of-sessfon push
by League members and oilier
gioups active In the welfare
reform
campaign. Special
emphasis Is being placed on
working with state governors
to enlist their support foi fed
eral welfare legislation.
If the Rlbicoff improve
ments aie tncorpoi ated In the
House passed legislation, the
nation could tv taking a mon
umental step toward elunuiat-
ing povei ty fo r more than 25
m illio n Americans, M rs. Hen
son stated. " I t ’ s amazing that
with tlie welfare system so
patently ineffective, this coun
try has waited so longtoenact
legislation (hat w ill take us out
of tlie cui lent mess. Senatoi
Rlblcoff’ s amendments seem
to us to be just that kind of leg
isla tio n ."
Otlier components of tlie
Rlbicoff proposal include:
—yearly increases in pay
ment levels, reaching tia)pov
erty level by 197b with a cost
of living sdjustment clauses.
— required state supple
mentation with the federal
government paying 30$ of
supplemental payments above
fedeial floors.
—fu ll fedeial takeover of
welfare Costs ovoi a five year
period.
—provision of i least 300,
000 public jobs.
— improved work Incentive
income disiegards.
— all Job refer rals at no less
ttian tlie fedeial minimum
wage.
-no work legist ration for
