(AP) — Welfare fficii officials celebrating the first anniver sary of Mississippi’s workfare pro gram say they’ve shown that even the nation’s poorest state can take those who have never had a steady job or who haven’t worked in years off the dole. While Congress debated the most comprehensive welfare reform bill in 50 years, Mississippi Department of Public Welfare officials lauded their program for turning workfare jobs into paying employment for 109 of the 765 food stamp recipients participating so far. Welfare recipients, they said, may be pulling themselves up by their bootstraps largely because of the state’s poverty. “We’re not distressed by the cur rent economic situation,” Welfare Commissioner Thomas Brittain said. “In fact, I get a personal kick from trying to do more with less.” Mississippi has the lowest per ca pita income in the nation at $10,204; 20 percent of its residents rely on food stamps. “A lot of people, including some who work here in this department, said workfare can’t work in Missis sippi,” Brittain said. “The reasons they gave me for that is it’s a rural- based state, that we have high unem ployment.” But Brittain said he knew work- fare could work in Mississippi be cause although local governments were short of revenue for needed services, there were “tremendous numbers of people on welfare who ''sT -N.

Police arranged the bombing of the barricaded and heavily fortified row house on May 13, 1985, in an at tempt to evict the MOVE followers. Neighbors had complained to city officials and threatened to take mat ters into their own hands if nothing was done about the group. Members of the mysterious group, whose name was not an acro nym for anything, championed back-to-nature rituals, lived in filth, refused to send their children to school and openly disobeyed health and safety laws, authorities said. that had echoed through the neigh borhood. The 11 killed, five of them children, were all inside the MOVE house. No one has been accused of any criminal act in the bombing. But both Philadelphia County and fed eral grand juries began investigat ing. The Philadelphia report is due tomorrow. “I would really be hard-pressed, quite frankly, to see how any grand jury could come out with any indict ments other than a scathing report,” said Robert Hurst, president of the Fraternal Order of Police. Officers built the bomb and dropped it from a helicopter after getting approval from Mayor W. Wilson Goode. An investigating commission said the group “had evolved into an au thoritarian, violence-threatening cult.” A special commission appointed by Goode later charged the mayor was “grossly negligent” in approving the bombing. It also condemned the use of gunfire by police as “reckless” and “unconscionable.” The police bomb touched off a rooftop fire that soon raged out of control while firefighters held back, afraid they would be hit by gunfire Relatives of the mostly black MOVE victims denounced Goode, the first black mayor in the nation’s fifth-largest city, as “a murderer” and have sued the city for damages.
