Judge Blocks Fare Hike A judge ordered two Chicago area commuter railroads Thursday sot to implement July 1 fare hikes of 60 and 80 percent which were approved last week by the Illinois Commerce Commission. "The RTA (Regional Transportation Authority), not the ICC, is the appropriate authority" to set fares for commuter rail lines, said Cook County Circuit Judge Richard Curry in a preliminary injunction against the railroads. The ICC had granted the Burlington Northern and Illinois Central Gulf railroads 60 and 80 percent fare hikes, respectively.

That area accounted for 43 percent, of total cash receipts in agriculture in 1979. 71 90 72 15 7J 95 64 73 95 67 90 III 65 72 95 41 65 43 13 15 110 70 II 62 12 70 19 72 76 90 53 TO SS II 67 IS 74 14 63 79 71 95 59 92 73 95 66 79 17 111 SS 69 S7 71 57 55 71 90 72 74 19 62 12 tl 100 71 II 52 65 95 54 73 72 92 53 17 SO 61 74 95 73 14 Utl vcoas Lillit Rock LouitvilM Lot AngcKt Mcnwhit Miomt Botdl Milwluktt Mimmolit NiVivilH Now Onotnt Now York Okiohomo Cily Omoh Orlorxto PnilidolDhil Ptwonii Piltskuron Portions', Me.

M49 Fraud Revealed In 'Halfway' Care 200 ONLY DESIGNER SERIES CASABLANCA Focus On: Boarding Homes CASABLANCA 111 FAN ANTIQUE BRASS Lancer 52" BLADES LIGHT KIT MULTIPLE SPEED CANE BLADES REG 199 From Prtu Dlteatchn WASHINGTON The first major investigation of the mushrooming but largely unregulated boarding home industry which cares for a million elderly, disabled and mentally re- tarded persons has revealed "massive fraud" in the use of federal funds, the chairman of a House committee on the aged said Thursday. Rep. Claude Pepper, head of the House Select Committee on Aging, said he will ask the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the findings documented in a joint study by his committee and the General Accounting Office.

Pepper, 80, said there are at least 100,000 boarding homes in the country "generally old hotels or structures that once were nursing homes but which could not meet fire safety standards." He said they house at least 1 million people, with total revenues of $12 billion to $20 billion. Boarding homes also known as halfway houses range from small private houses that provide shelter for three or four people to larger buildings with hundreds of residents. They are private, profit-making facilities that offer meals, sleeping quarters and perhaps recreation or low-level medical care; and they generally are subject to very few licensing requirements. Pepper said financially stressed state governments are "shifting thousands of mental patients, the retarded, the hand- icapped and the elderly out of state mental hospitals" into boarding homes, where their care can be charged to the federal Supplementary Security Income program. "We have created a new kind of institutional robber baron who deals in slum property and who has brought new meaning to the phrase, "Bring me your tired, your Pepper said.

"One operator who was candid with our staff said that an investment in mental patients was far better than orange groves or oil wells," he said. Rep, Mario Biaggi, noted that 130 senior citizens Jiad died In half a dozen boarding-home fires over the past two years. "We are creating federally subsidized Infernos for the elderly," Biaggi said. CHOICE OF COLORS DESIGNER SERIES MODEL CF2042B NOW $129 Many homes have been cited for flagrant health and safety violations. But while Congress adopted minimum licensing standards for these homes in 1977, a 46-page memorandum prepared for the Pepper committee says that both state and federal inspectors hve done little to enforce the rules.

The homes don't have to file cost reports with the government, and the Department of Health and Human Services has never referred a boarding home case for prosecution, the panel found. Pepper said the results of a GAO audit of 10 boarding homes in Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia "convince me that we are dealing with massive fraud." He said he would turn over seven of the 10 homes' cases to the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service. Morton Henig, a GAO official, said the agency found lax accountability for government funds, which comprise 90 percent of boarding home revenues. In many cases, the SSI checks were endorsed to or made out to boarding home operators, who then would give residents $50 a month for personal expenses. Some operators continued collecting checks long after residents died or moved, he said.

The audit revealed that some boarding home operators under-reported or failed to report any Income on federal tax returns. One operator Insured 94 residents and deducted the premiums on grounds that they were employees, the report said. Pepper said he will introduce legislation requiring boarding home operators to file certified financial statements "telling us how they are using government funds" and making falsification of the cost report required by a federal office punishable by five years in jail, a $25,000 fine, or both. "I do not intend to rest until we have cleaned up this very unsavory American scandal," Pepper said..
