JACKSON, Miss. (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

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A
grand jury will release its findings on
criminal intent this week in the po
lice bombing three years ago of the
radical group MOVE in which 11
people died and 61 homes were de
stroyed by a resulting fire.
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.
