surprise and consternation.

Just like that. No . questions
asked. ' ; f f
The If mildly Indignant doctor

dealing with the department had
been treatments of welfare pa

The checks will go back, he said,
with a "proper letter to send under
such circumstances.'
He didn't say whether he'd re
mind, the social security depart
ment, that one of its announced
goals is to trim $50,000,000 from
