Look at 2 Programs Raises Question Of Duplication By Jerald Heth Copyright, 17J, Dtl Moinn Reqlilfr nd Tribuna Company Gov. Robert Ray has requested an investigation into two federally funded programs in Des Moines to determine whether they are duplicatinc services and wasting money.

The programs are Greater Opportunities (GO), fnc, with an annual budget of $700,000, and Des Moines Community Development Agency (CDA), with a budget of $5.8 million this year. And top officials of both programs concede that there may well be some duplication between the two. Both programs are designed to help poor people and im- prove areas in the city where high concentrations of the poor live. GO is the local anti-pover-! ty agency under the U.S. Office 1 of Economic Opportunity; CDA is the expanded Model City pro-1 gram run by city officials here.

Of concern to Ray and other officials Is the possible duplication of services resulting from the neighborhood offices thai both agencies currently maintain. i In the past six months, CDA has set up six neighborhood centers, all except one within a few blocks of the six neighborhood offices that GO has been operating about six years. CDA is spending about. $150,000 a year to maintain and staff its six offices, officials said. It is costing GO $163,497 a i year to operate its six offices in Des Moines.

The figure! include salaries, rent and maintenance. Seek Involvement Both programs operate neighborhood centers as a means of involving low-income-area residents in the planning and operation of the programs' various projects. The six CDA neighborhoods r.re Four-Mile, Model i Southeast, Pioneer-Columbus and Woodland-Willkie. CO has centers in the same neighborhoods except for Four-Mile. OO's sixth center, on the.

The governor said be would like regional and state OEO officials to meet with Des Moines Mayor Richard Olson to see if there Is any duplication of services between GO and CDA. Itay said he would like information concerning possible duplications before GO receives any more federal funds.

Robert Tyson, state OEO director, said it is possible that there is more duplication of i between the two agencies lhan those that might exist, in neighborhood centers.

Some wore purple shirts and yellow ties, and all of them had jaunty caps on their heads identifying them as veterans of World War I. They were "passing the time," waiting for a program at. the Veterans of World War I slate convention to get under way at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. Much of their talk was reminiscence about the days more than 50 years ago when they were young and fought for their country. A common theme in their conversation dealt with the dwindling number of convention delegates from year to year, down to about 350 this time, which inevitably led to observations about how old they were all getting.

Most are more than 75 years old now but the number well into their HQs is increasing. But during the course of the three-day convention thai, opened Thursday, the veterans' conversation inevitably turned to the present, focusing on such interrelated topics as the Vietnam war. the decision announced earlier this week by President Nixon not to send draftees into a lOiiulrv I'jirson "It's not surprising that the world is divided by difference of opinion churches arj."
