A 40-year-old Florence woman, Essie Mae Chandler, has been convicted of welfare fraud stemming from charges that she illegally obtained food stamps and Aid to Dependent Children benefits. Lauderdale County Judge Leslie G. Johnson, in a decision handed down on April 23, ordered the woman to repay some $2,129 at the rate of $40 a month, beginning this month.

The judge also directed her to pay court costs of $172, placed her on two years' probation and ordered her to spend the first 10 weekends of that probationary period in the Lauderdale County Jail. In announcing the conviction, state Pensions and Security Commissioner Gary Cooper said that the prosecution owed its success to the combined efforts of the Lauderdale County partment of Pensions and Security, Lauderdale County Department of Pensions and Security, Lauderdale District Attorney Lavern Tate and the welfare fraud unit of the state attorney general's office. Mrs. Chandler was convicted of fraudulently receiving food stamp and ADC benefits over a period of several months during 1978 and 1979. She failed to report wages that should have been counted in determining her eligibility for assistance during that time.

"Both our workers and the attorney general's investigators are doing a good job of uncovering fraud where it exists and in building cases for prosecution," Cooper said. "We want anyone eligible for benefits to receive them, but we also intend to protect the taxpayers' money by removing from the rolls and prosecuting those who commit fraud," Cooper added. toddler playwear 2.99to7.99 regularly 4.50 to 10.50 Boys and girls rompers, shortalls, shorts and tops for summer in terry and woven fabrics.

Opposition expected, says nuke spokesman question" about nuclear fission the manner in which nuclear power is now generated is containing high levels of radiation within a mature reactor. The radiation, he said, is now contained by confining it within four safety systems. The fuel is wrapped is zirconium rods, a process that is to be used at the planned Westinghouse plant in Prattville.

The rods are in a steel reactor vessel. The reactor vessel is immersed in cooling water and the entire process is housed in a steel-reinforced concrete structure. Calling last year's Three Mile Island partial meltdown "a distressful accident," Walske said that nevertheless the high level of radioactivity in the reactor core had been confined to the containment vessel, the last of the four barriers, "The Three Mile Island accident was not all black," he said. "It identified the blind spots in the system." The president of the Atomic Industrial Forum said Thursday that public opposition to nuclear power, while distressful to the industry, was not unexpected. "When the locomotive was first introduced there was a proposal that they be allowed to run only 5 mph and that a man precede the engine with a lantern to warn the public," Carl Walske told a press conference.

Walske, head of the nuclear industry's 600-member trade organization, was in town to address a breakfast meeting of the Young Men's Business Club. He said the problem of nuclear power gaining public acceptance is aggravated by the mysterious nature of radioactivity. "You can't detect it with any of the five senses," he said, "but with the proper equipment you can detect levels far below those which are harmful."

He also plans to run for the presidency of the Alabama Public Service Commission. Stephens went to work for the state Retirement System in April. He said Wednesday that he was asked to resign because he "didn't put Charles Graddick's interests above all else." Kendrick was demoted as head of the Environmental Division of the attorney general's office when he refused to go along with what he felt was industry encroachment into an important piece of strip mining legislation. McKnight is still working for Graddick. One other assistant attorney general, Mark Brandon, left the attorney general's office after the reshuffle in the environmental division where he worked.

Despite the recent shakeup, however, Graddick maintains that his office is functioning effectively. "This office is functioning very effectively," he said. "When you have two or three people who don't play team ball this kind of thing can happen. "But we don't have the problems that some (the media) have indicated we have," he added. "The next day it was in the papers that I was fired and it came from Janie Nobles (Graddick's assistant who handles his press releases)," Eddy said.

The investigator said he's sure that his connection with Baxley was the reason he was axed. "I started working with Baxley in 1976 and I was loyal to him," he said. "I really think that Charlie's got higher political ambitions. "I really don't think he wants anybody around there who was associated with Baxley," Eddy added. Yung also accused the attorney general of being "politically motivated" in many of his decisions since taking office.

"That's totally untrue," said Graddick. "Anytime a person doesn't have anything to say, they say something is political." However, three assistant attorneys general, Gil Kendrick, Bill Stephens and Bill McKnight, who were asked to resign by Graddick and who were reassigned to less desirable jobs when they refused, were all holdovers from the Baxley administraiion. Graddick said shortly after the incident that some people in his office were "not team players" and, thus would not be kept in high positions.

As for the proposed change in Montgomery, the commission said it was clear that WCOV's petition is based on an argument that "profits among the stations unfairly and disproportionately favor the one VHF station." "WCOV's distress seems to us primarily private in nature," the FCC said. "We do not have here a case of threatened UHF service loss, it being apparent from the pleadings that WCOV is (also) a profitable operation.

Rather, a viable UHF station is seeking to Improve its position by eliminating all VHF competition." Because of WSFA's large coverage area, the commission added, a switch to a UHF channel would result in a loss of service for up to 492,000 people and that is a "cost too great to warrant adoption."
