The largest de mocracies are India and the United States. The radio said Bhutto and other leaders of his Pakistan Peoples party, as well as leaders c)f the op position Pakistan National Alliance, had been put under “temporary protective custody. ” HEW reports increase Ji ineligible aid cases United Preii International ^(IsWASmNCTDN — Texas, ^luisiana.

Government efforts to find | |-j |] ' jureaucratic blunders have reduced he mistakes, but nearly one in four telfare families still are ineligible or S I 0I1 i mproperly paid, HEW said. ected ml There was a 23.3 per cent “error «in 1 ate” in Aid to Families with De li' tenclent Children, the nation s argest welfare program, a HEW ovi inheport said. The rate was 26 per Sent for all welfare cases a year ago. attribuitl;During the period ending last ily 1! ii pcember, HEW said, 798,600 of ime he .6 million families getting wel- rbronwe aid were ineligible or paid in- irlirm (orrectly. 11 unsiiuj HEW has said previously that t in welfare agencies or social workers aptjst make 51 per cent of the errors and recipients the rest. How much rep resents actual cheating never has been determined, but fraud prose cutions represent less than 1 per cent of all cases. The report said 5.3 per cent of the 11.2 million AFDC recipients were ineligible, 13.1 per cent were over paid and 4.9 per cent were under paid. The District of Columbia had the highest proportions both of ineligi- bles, 15.3 per cent, and overpaid recipients, 23.2 per cent. Indiana had the lowest percentage of ineli gible recipients, 0.9, and Nevada the lowest percentage of overpaid recipients, 1.9. A federal court rules last year in a suit brought by several states and counties that HEW’s method of de termining penalties for states falling short of the goals was invalid. At that time, welfare officials said the deadline for meeting the 13 per cent goal was “unrealistic.” Pakistan’s 30-year history has been marked by political instability. The military first assumed power in a 1958 coup and ruled until 1971 when Bhutto took office. The latest coup came a day after a breakdown in negotiations between Bhutto and opposition leaders on new parliamentary elections that had been expected Oct. 7. The four months of violence was sparked by Pakistan National Al liance charges that Bhutto and his party used massive vote fraud to win the March 7 parliamentary elec tions. Opposition followers took to the streets and more than 300 persons were killed in violent clashes with police and Bhutto’s supporters. Bhutto arrested thousands of oppos ition leaders and imposed martial law on Karachi, Lahore and Hyderabad. Bhutto and the opposition began negotiations June 3 and agreed to hold new elections on Oct. 7, and permit Bhutto to remain in power until then. But there were snags in working out a final agreement and new demonstrations broke out. A diplomat who arrived Monday in New Delhi from Pakistan said the coup “certainly was not expected and added: “My estimate would be that the army has now come to de spair of any settlement between Bhutto and the opposition and on that basis has decided to step in. ” The diplomat said Bhutto and military leaders, including army Chief of Staff Gen. Zia Ul-Huq, ap peared relaxed when they attended July 4 ceremonies Monday at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. The post-election violence paralyzed Pakistan’s already struggl ing economy, another factor that may have persuaded the military to step in.
