hours.
Bloom, former chairman of
the Republican State Com
mittee, consistently has
supported rate increases for
utilities, and Shapp just as
consistently has resisted any
hikes without full and open
hearings.
"I think it is time that the
consumers get a fair shake,"
Shapp said. "Their voice is
entitled to be heard."
Shapp called. on Bloom to
resign after he made the "cut -
off the power" remark, and
Bloom responded by asking
the governor to resign a
challenge Shapp has taken up
in his campaign appearances.
"I'm perfectly willing to let
the petvle decide," Shapp
told 200 supporters in Lan
caster. "If you think Bloom
should stay on vote for my
opponent, but l if you want
Bloom out, vote for me."
Bloom's 10-year-term on the
PUC expires next May 1, and
Shapp has pledged to replace
him with a commissioner who

higher rates or try to cut
services.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) College students yesterday asked
gubernatorial candidate Drew Lewis as many questions about
social concerns such as welfare as they did about marijuana,
lictuor and abortions.
Aides to the Republican candidate said students in i . a city
such as Philadelphia are probably more aware of social
problems than those in rural colleges.
"They live closer to the problems, have morel study
programs devoted to that subject and probably rap more with
minority students," one of the aides said.
In stops at the University of Pennsylvania and St. Joseph's
College, Lewis told crowds of about 150 students that the state
welfare department is not complying with federall regu
lations.

At a news conference earlier, Lewis told reporters that the
state could lose federal funds if changes are not made.
"Abuses within the welfare system aretrampant, to such an
extent that Pennsylvania which has the largest num rof
employes of any state's welfare agency, is the sepond worst
state in the nation in terms of administrative errors" he said.
"Morethan 41 per cent of those currently on welfare either
are ineligible or are being overpaid."
Lewis said the federal government "has threatened to cut
off more than s4s.million in federal assistance funds unless the
error rate is reduced dramatically to eight per centl— by
June 1975." ° i
He said that between S2QO million and $250 million is being
wasted ,by welfare each year.
"We could increase payments and still stave $l2O mil ion a

year," he said.
"I'm talking about anti-waste, not anti-welfare," Lewis
said.
One of his main aims, he said, would be to insist that .hose
on welfare and able to work be required to sign up for jobs.
He said that is not being done, citing, a memorandum dated
Aug. 19, 1974, from the welfare department to county - .loards of
assistance. The memorandum said in part:
"...CAOs (County Assistance Offices) are to refer to BES
(Bureau of Employment Security) only clients determined by
the CAO as employable afilluily after their eligibility or grant
status has been determined."
Lewis. said that made the job-seeking decision someone
else's responsibility, contrary to the law.
He said he also would reorganize the welfare department.
implement a continuing audit of its operations and enforce
eligibility requirements.
On other issues, Lewis told the college students he:
Opposes school busing to achieve racial balance and
favors improving present schools.
—Supports abortion control "to get abortions out of the
alleys and into the hospitals."
—Will neither support the legalization of marijuana nor
severe penalties fOr violators.
—Favors a legal drinking age of 19 but no lower, since an 18-
year-old limit could create more high school problems.
—Supports a capital punichment law limited to certain
types of murder, including rape, hijackings and the killing of
policemen, prison guards and firemen while on duty.
