Checks for 10.800 AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) recipients, which were to be mailed yesterday, were held up because the AFDC account, is out of money. The recipients were instead sent a letter o'' explanation and. for those eligible for food stamps, vouchers to obtain tree a portion of their monthly si amp allotment. "The financial crisis of the state," Bartley said in an interview last night, "should not rest on the (welfare) recipients." Asked whether Dukakis should have avoided last night's suspension of benefits by submitting his own special appropriation last week instead of demanding passage of the entire bonds-and-tax proposal, Bartley said: "I don't want to speculate over who's to blame for it.

We are more interested in solving the problem and getting money to AFDC children. Again, this is government by crisis." Bartley did not say how many days or weeks of AFDC welfare checks the special appropriation would cover, but he said he expected it to total around $30 million. This amount would cover AFDC checks well into June and also prevent the cutoff of General Relief checks June 15. Money for the appropriation, Bartley said, would come from the extra revenue from a recent sale of capital outlay bonds by slate Treasurer Robert Q. Crane.
