HEW proposes penalties for social aid excesses
WASHINGTON (AP)—Joseph A. Califano Jr., secretary of health, education and welfare, proposed yesterday that states be penalized if they failed to cut overpayments in their Medical and welfare programs to 4 percent.
He said reaching that goal would save taxpayers $1 billion of the $2.4 billion spent on overpayments last year in the Medicaid, SSI and aid to families with dependent children programs.
Califano also said he wanted to make his department pay similar penalties unless it cut overpayments in the Supplemental Security Income program to 4 percent.
Summer theatre offers variety of productions
Something on the program of the Kansas Repertory Theatre should appeal to everyone. The selection consists of "Bus" and "Our Town," a musical, and "Our Town." a classic.
Charla Jenkins, director of public relations for the University Theatre and the School of Fine Arts, said, "This should be extended because it covers all extremes in theatre."
Performances will be at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre in Murphy Hall. The July 30 performance of "Company" will be at 2 p.m.
Performances of "Company" will be July 13, 21, 26 and 29. Performances of "Our
performance will be July 14, 19, 22, 27 and 30. Performance of "Bus Stop" will be July 15,
20, 23 and 28.
"Bus Stop," written by KU alumnus William Ingle, tells the story of a group of bus passengers stranded in a Kansas cafe during a snowstorm. During a long night of waiting, the passengers make discoveries about themselves as well as about one other.
"Company," which won a Tony award in "1971 for best music, was written by George Furth and Stephen Sondheim. Through their discussions discuss life such as married life.
"OUR TOWN," by Thornton Wilder, will feature members of the community as well as the Kansas Repertory theater company. He will be a professor of law, will play the stage manager.
"Our Town" depicts life in the small town of Grovers Corner, N.H., in 1901.
Tickets are $2.50 for the public. KU
students are admitted free with a KU ID.
The payment error rates last year were 8.6 percent in the families' aid program and 7 percent in Medicaid, both of which are run by the federal program. 9.2 percent in the federal runs SSH program.
Those rates include only overpayments and payments to ineligible persons, not employees.
Under Califano's proposed regulations, the states would be penalized if they did not make progress each year toward meeting the 4 percent goal. HEW would refuse to pay an amount equal to the overpayment in federal income tax error rate was above the national median.
HEW's own goal would be 4.85 percent error rate in fiscal 1979, which starts Oct. 1, and 4 percent by 1880. Some state supplement the SSI benefits with their own funds, and HWE would pay penalties to those states if it fails to meet its goal.
Mauritanian president ousted by army coup
NOUAKHOTT, Mauritania (AP)—The army deposed President Mokur Oktar Daddal in a bloodless coup yesterday and promised to form a new government to rule this vast West African nation beset by a guerrilla war.
HEW attempted to impose a similar penalty system on the states for families' aid program errors in 1974, but a federal court threw out the standards as arbitrary.
Califano said the new standards were prepared with help from state and local officials.
A military communique broadcast to Mauritania's 1.6 million people said Oud Daddah was arrested before dawn just hours after a gunman African Union meeting in Khartoum, Sudan.
A 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew has been imposed on the capital, Mauritania radio said.
The new rulers of Mauritania, a mineral-rich country that sprawls across much of the island, are now known as "selses" The Military Committee for National Security "but did not make clear political ambitions."
Sources in Noukchott identified one member of the committee as Col. Mustapha Ould Mohamed Salek, the armed forces chief of staff.
Western diplomats in Paris said their initial reports from Mauritania suggested an internal coup that would not affect the independence of Mauritania has no special relationship with the United States, but generally has been sympathetic to the U.S. viewpoint in the region.
Military leaders reportedly were disbanded with the conduct of the operation.
