Wide-Open (Continued from Page 1) general economic conditions. Every other state in the United States has the same problem of mounting relief costs. Engelman adds, the purpose of this program is to provide help for needy people. We see that people dont go hungry. We in this state feed, house and clothe those convicted of crime.

Should there be a greater penalty on those not convicted of crime? There is no evidence that the incidence of persons found to ineligible for assistance is any greater now than in any other period of time. There is no evidence of any significant degree of fraud, greater than you normally expect in a program of this kind. Last year the general public assistance program, set up in 1936, paid out $10,487,000. Administration, of which 94 per cent is paid for by the municipalities, cost another $2,191,928. And the state spent some money watching over the program.

To that is added purely local relief, under 1924 poor laws, with no state payments; four federal-state programs for the elderly, blind, totally disabled and dependent children; and state-county programs for child care and child guardianship. Big Yearly Bill The total runs up near a year. Engelman said New Jersey has no residence requirement, but he said no neighboring state does either. Sometimes a poorly person moves from another state-where he has been on relief. We are obliged to ask the other state to take him back, and sometimes they do, he added.

The unwed mother, Andrews says is a nationwide problem. But he said New Jersey cant let them or their babies starve or freeze. The state has no ceiling on rent payments, and In most municipalities the rentals paid in full as a welfare responsibility. There is a state ceiling on what can be paid for food and clothing. Also, the municipality can compel families to care for destitute relatives.

Engelman says frauds follow anywhere money is paid out. If the state wants to make certain relief frauds subject to criminal penalty, thats another matter, he says. Our responsibility is public assistance, not law enforcement," he said.
