HEW Acted
The U.S. Department of
Health, Education and
Welfare had ruled that
California had not kept up
with federally,required
jcost-of-living increases in
that category.
Carleson tried to juggle
welfare payment sched-
ules to comply with the
federal rule withdut any
additional cost to the state,
but lost several court chal-
lenges.
Now he faces a likely^
court test from the Califor-
nia Welfare Rights Organi-
zation. which believes the
increase should be retroac-
tive to last October, at a
cost of more than $80 mil-
The order, announced
Friday by Robert Carle-
son. director of the Califor-
nia &y?ial Welfare Depart-
ment, grants a 21.4 per
cent increase in maximum
benefits to recipients of
aid to families with de-
pendent children.
An estimated 1.6 million
persons will be on AFDC
in June, Carleson said.

After their capture, Miss
Webb was dressed in black
pajamas and the others
were given military fa-
tigues worn by the Viet
Cong, she said. Just before
their release, she said,
they were given back civil-
ian clothes and a piece of
white parachute cloth to
use as a truce flag.
They were set free in a
jungles near Highway 4.
They tied the parachute
cloth to a stick and waved
it in front of them, Miss
Webb said. A vehicle of
the Cambodian 13th Infan-
try Brigade picked them
up and drove them 15
miles to Kompong Speu
from where they were
flown in a helicopter to
Phnom Penh.
Miss Webb said she and
the others were held cap-
tive by Communist Viet-
namese-led troops in the
Elephant Mountains over-
looking Highway 4.
Miss Webb and the oth-
ers disappeared during
heavy fighting April 7 on
Highway 4 about 56 miles
southwest of Phnom Penh.
She said she and the oth-
ers, all in a group, were
not captured on that day
but escaped into the -jun-
gles and spent nearly 24
hours wandering through
the jungles.
Miss Webb said they had
narrowly missed being hit
by Cambodian artillery
barrages and air strikes
several times during their
flight through the jungles.
None was hurt.

Today, we salute these men who must bear the heavy weight
of every man’s conscience in extricating truth from the often
appalling complex of fact piled upon fact.
ENID — The early birds
get the best viewing spots,
and seasoned spectators of
Tri-State Music Festival’s
Multi-Million Dollar Pa-
rade were staking claims
on the favored vantage
points just after sunup to-
day.
Several managed to
park their cars Friday on
the one block on the nine-
block route where this is
permitted, and their occu-
pants relaxed on blankets
in auto trunks and truck
beds until the 152 sched-
uled marching units strut-
ted past.
Junior high musicians
competed with concert
bands earlier Saturday, as
did twirling corps and col-
or guards.
Eight stage bands were
chosen in earlier competi-
tions to perform at the
Tactical Air Command
Stage Band concert Friday
night.
These groups were Mus-
kogee, Moore, Blackwell,
Weatherford, Newkirk,
Moreland, Bowlegs, Don-
art High School of Stillwa-
ter.
A 35-year-old Pearson
man died early this morn-
ing after his pickup collid-
ed head-on with a truck a
half-mile east of St. Louis,
Okla., the Highway Patrol
said.

HELENA — Sponsors of
this srflall town’s "Ice
cream and Cake Benefit
for Stewart ‘Lucky’ Cron-
in,” unconscious since a
Dec. 17 traffic accident,
today termed the Friday
night benefit “a surpris-
ing success.”
"It was just extremely
surprising,” Dr. John Har-
ris, local doctor, said. “I
saw little kids come up
and empty their piggy-
banks and parents give
their children a dollar to
put In the till. I’ve never
seen anything quite like
it.”
Cronin, 19, has been un-
married life. He married
Paula on Aug. 15, 1970, and
his young wife has main-
tained a 24-hour vigil at
his Enid hospital bedside
since the accident.
Dr. Harris had originally
estimated between 500-600
people would attend Fri-
day n 1 g h t ’s festivities.
“We only had around 340
people,” he said, “but they
gave $1,051,” an amount
higher than officials origi-
nally thought would be
taken in.
“Everything we get will
go into the fund at the lo-
cal bank ... to pay Stew-
art’s medical bills,” the
doctor said. Those bills are
now estimated to be
around $50,000.

‘Too Little’
"It’s too little, too late,”
said Ralph Abascal, attor-
ney for the group.
Carleson said he was
forced to take the stopgap
action “only after an ex-
haustive series of legal
and legislative steps by
the Reagan administration
to protect California tax-
payers had failed.”
A second part of his or-
der cuts an estimated
27,500 recipients from
AFDC June 1 by reducing
the amount of outside in-
come welfare recipients
can earn.
Ruling Followed
That order complies
with an Alameda County
court ruling, Carleson
said. He added it would af-
fect only those AFDC re-
cipients who have the
highest outside incomes. It
could save the state $6 mil-
lion a month, he said.
Reagan accused HEW
"bureaucrats” of harass-
ing the state and threaten-
ing to force California to
cut off welfare aid to all
its 2.4 million recipients by
running the state out of
funds.

Keep It
Coming
The weatherman could
hardly have come up with
a better package to pres-
ent Oklahomans this week-
end.
Bright sunshine will
send temperatures into the
80’s statewide Sunday and
no change is expected
through Monday.
Light and variable winds
today may increase some-
what Sunday, but still
shouldn’t prove too annoy-
ing, |he weather service
reported.
No precipitation is in the
state’s weather picture.
faculty members will com-
plete the staff.
The changes will make
possible a reduction in the
size of classes, and a stu-
dent may obtain a degree
in three, rather than four
years, even though credit
hours for graduation are
increased from the present
86 to 90, as they will be for
entering first-year stu-
dents, Foster said.
Eight credit hours will
be offered each quarter,
with quarters during the
next academic year begin-
ning on Aug. 30, Nov. 29,
Feb. 28 and May 29.
Summer school, already
scheduled for this year,
will begin May 24.
Only evening classes are
offered by OCU’s law divi-
sion, with classes meeting
now on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays. Under
the new quarterly pro-
gram, classes likely will I
meet Mondays through
Thursdays, Foster said,
with some special semi-
nars periodically offered
on Saturdays.
The present first-year
class exceeds 100 mem-
bers, and all meet togeth-
er. Classes will be sec-
tioned beginning this fall,
with a maximum class
size of 45 targeted, Foster
said.
