The countdown was halted six hours before this .morning's planned 9:40 liftoff when engineers discovered that hydraulic fluid was not circulating properly.

WASHINGTON The welfare reform packages approved by the House and Senate this year have had enthusiastic support from the Utah congressional delegation. w hich was moderated somewhat by Democrats, won by an overcount, an whelming 87-1- 2 unprecedented figure for such controversial legislation. But while large majorities favor unleashing the creativity of the states in an effort to help the poor, traditional advocates for the people are fearful of the idea. And in one of the more curious twists in the welfare debate, those liberal advocates are now expressing their fear by using an argument long championed by conservatives. For years, conservatives in states across the country have suggested that welfare recipients move from one locale to another in order to collect higher benefits. That argument has resonated particularly in generous states, which insist that the arrival of low-inco- er Analysis The state's four Republicans voted for the two competing plans, while Rep.

The Senate plan, in particular. new welfare populations has been motivated by a desire to take advantage of that generosity. Wisconsin and Minnesota, for example, have seen surges of poor people moving from troubled cities like Chicago and a migration many conDetroit servatives in those states attribute to larger welfare checks. Those states have moved to halt that migration, instituting reforms that included a reduction in benefits for new arrivals in which was struck Minnesota down by the Minnesota Supreme Court as an infringement on the right to travel.
