LEDGER From Staff and Wire Reports Welfare chief may be named today The state Welfare Board today is expected to appoint a new welfare commissioner to replace former Commissioner Donald Roark, who was ousted by the board without explanation last October. Marcia Carlson of the state Research and Development Center, who spearheaded the search for a new commissioner, said more than 100 people applied for the job to head the $163 million agency.

Carlson said 15 finalists were interviewed for the $45,000 commissioner's post, including nine applicants from out of state and seven who have served as heads of state welfare departments in the past. "We had an excellent group of candidates," she said. The new commissioner will take over an agency that has been plagued by criticism since the murder of Pope teenager Paula Houston last June. Houston's mother, Judy Lane Houston, was convicted in December of strangling her daughter. Critics of the Welfare Department have said Paula Houston's death might have been prevented if reports of suspected abuse of the teenager had been investigated properly.

The agency is slated to reorganize and place new emphasis on child abuse complaints beginning in July.

The new generator will replace a broken one that hasn't been replaced because of the budget squeeze, she said.

With the new generator, department will have three Breathalyzers. The devices are used to measure the amount of alcohol in a person's system.
