A Radio Pakistan broadcast
monitored in New Delhi quoted an
unidentified army spokesman as
saying the situation was “normal,
and peace and tranquility prevailed
everywhere” in the Moslem nation
of 75 million. 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. New Mexico, Colorado
tld Wyoming were among 18 states
ieording increases in ineligible Aid
b Families with Dependent Chil-
Sren recipients during the six
iionths ending in December, HEW
(omi , aid yesterday.
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.
