Show Panel Doesn't Back Shortage Studied CAP, Leaders Say The Salt Lake Community Action Program has made Important inroads to remove poverty but has failed to gain community support from the 80 per cent of the public which is not impoverished. This unanimous assessment of CAPS progress since its inception in 1965 was made today by the four recently appointed staff members in CAPS central ad- ministration. They are John Florez, assistant director of community deand his assistant, velopment Richard Shirley Woodward; Fields, assistant director of administration and personnel and his assistant Let Pennis Roybal. UNDERSTANDING LACK Lack of understanding between the poverty culture and the 80 per cent resulted in hostility, resentment and ineffective programs, they felt, Community development will include mobilizing and recoordinating community sources, encouraging the poor to take initiative and bettering and themselves, establishing better communication.. Being poor in America is worse than anything. Nobody I City officials disclosed today possible shortage of more than $300 in traffic fine collections after a special internal audit completed recently. They said that a further audit has been ordered. A sampling of fines indicated irregularities if no plausible explanation can be obtained which might Mrs. Woodward Mr. Florez bring the potential shortage to thousands of dollars. teed minimum income was According to the city auditors suggested to take care of those office there is one definite case who were poor because they of a receipt for a traffic violareally couldnt work, not be- tion fine of $15 which does not cause they werent trained or (match the traffic ticket copy on properly educated. file with the Traffic Violations NOT YET USED Bureau.

Mr. Florez pointed out only 25 per cent of the nations poor were actually on welfare. In Utah, only about 37,000 of the 120,000 poor receive welfare. Of the 37,000, about 97 per cent are considered unemployable.
