THE TRAP of public welfare ensnares everybody. Taxpayers are caught up in a system that cost them $4.1 billion in welfare money last year. Social workers and Government officials are awash in a sea of red tape and mind-boggling regulations which hamper proper administration of public relief. But worst off of all are the recipients of public-welfare money, the poor people whom the system condemns to pauperism. For many people on relief, it is economically unsound to go to work -- they plainly are better off cashing in their welfare checks each month -- and in many instances a reliefer who wants to earn his own keep is effectively prevented by welfare regulations from getting ajob. Hopelessness is the lot of most recipients of the dole, for the system offers few avenues of escape once a needy person has accepted his first welfare check. The scope of the problem is enormous: 6.7 million Americans received public assistance last year. How did the nation get itself into this mess, and what is the way out? This week, in a carefully documented report which highlights the poignant plight of the public-welfare family, Lois R. Chevalier tells how humane intentions to help the helpless have boomeranged into a problem of colossal proportions. OTHER BYLINES.
