Cutting from $3,600 to $2,000 a year the federal assistance low-income families get for housing. The working poor have been among those hit hardest by budget cuts already approved, Edelman said, and this is likely to continue If President Reagan's new cuts are approved. The case of Sharon Haller, a rural Ohio woman with three children who quit her job driving a school bus rather than lose benefits, is one of several examples the Children's Defense Fund report cites.

Haller quit her job after determining that under the new Reagan welfare policies she would gain only $1 a month in welfare benefits by continuing to work but lose $9 a month in food stamps and the Medicaid card entitling her and her children to free medical care. The report also attempted to trace the widely varying methods to which states have resorted to absorb the costs of cuts approved last summer. Six states, Washington, Oregon, Missouri, Kentucky, Iowa and Utah, have eliminated Medicaid benefits for children living at home with both parents. Virginia is proposing to stop coverage completely for blind WASHINGTON The Reagan administration is demanding "more sacrifice from children than from any other group in American society" with its proposed cuts in welfare, education, nutrition and other programs, the head of the Washington-based Children's Defense Fund has charged. President Marian Wright Edelman said an analysis of the administration's budget proposals indicates that more than 730,000 pregnant women would become ineligible for a federally supported prenatal nutrition program, 100,000 families would no longer get day-care services, and more than half of the 5.8 million pupils in compensatory education programs would be dropped if the budget cuts are approved.

The CDF estimated that President Reagan's proposed fiscal 1983 budget would cut $8 billion from the $49.1 billion in federal aid for welfare, health, nutrition and education programs that benefit children. These spending reductions would be in addition to $10 billion in fiscal 1982 cuts in these programs, the CDF estimated. Edelman said Reagan has "preyed on the fears and resentments of those Americans who want to believe that most welfare recipients cheat they don't -and implied that if we just end fraud and abuse in these programs, we will solve our economic problems. What he has not told the American public is that 70 percent of the welfare 'cheats' he is ridding us of are children." The 216-page analysis of Reagan's fiscal 1983 budget that the CDF released Monday provides one of the first comprehensive efforts to go through its fine print and calculate the cost of the cuts to individuals. At a time when the debate in Washington over the new budget is largely focused on the size of the deficit, the Children's Defense Fund report highlights spending reductions that will have the effect of: Reducing the number of meals and snacks served in day-care centers.

Before the cuts, they served three meals and two snacks daily. Now there are funds for two meals and one snack a day. Ending the Summer Feeding Program for children by the summer of 1983. About 1 million poor children are expected to get meals in this program in the summer of 1982.
