r U SEE NEVS APPEN CALL )DAlY Ron Trowbridge, superstar It seems one of the more photogenic members of Ann Arbor City Council has recently stepped up into the big time - at least for a few moments. If you happened to tune into TV 2 news at 6 or 11 on Friday or 6 on Monday, you might have seen our very own Ron Trowbridge throwing in his two cents on the "Township 20" case during the guest viewpoint segment of the show. In case you missed it, Trowbridge said he thought the only fair way to resolve the controversy - whether the 20 who voted illegally should be forced to reveal their votes - would be to void the election and hold a new one.

Ho-hum. ofHEWi WASHINGTON (AP)--The head of the government's computerized search for welfare cheats insisted yesterday that his sensitive files on millions of Americans are safe despite a report that the computer system fails to meet even minimum security standards. THOMAS Morris, inspector gen- eral of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, made the assertion after HEW Secretary Jos- eph Califano Jr.'s office acknowledg- ed that an investigation showed "no unit of the department was in compli- ance with the computer security standards that we established for ourselves." Califano's acknowledgement was The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, November 16, 1977-Page 3 risists sensitive files safe contained in a letter signed for him by his undersecretary on Nov. 7, two days before he assured reporters at a news conference that privacy rights were being carefully guarded in Project Match, the department's nationwide hunt for government em- ployees on welfare. MORRIS' OFFICE has obtained the personnel files of about 2.8 million government employees and is comparing them with state welfare rolls. Privacy experts have expressed concern in recent weeks that the sensitive files could fall into the wrong hands, possibly subjecting innocent employees to harassment, embarassment or actual harm. Those concerned were amplified over the weekend with the disclosure of a special internal task force report that found "systems security in HEW was far from meeting minimum acceptable standards." REP. RICHARDSON Preyer, (D- N.C.), who heads the House subcom- mittee on government information and individual rights, called the findings "disquieting" and ordered an immediate review of security systems in other major agencies. Asked about the implications of the task force findings for Project Match, Morris issued a statement saying: "Computer tapes and re- cords being used in Project Match are supject to a virtually unique security system designed to fully protect the privacy of individuals." A SPOKESPERSON for Morris said he did not know which of HEW's many computer systems were being used for Project Match. Califano announced last week that Project Match had so far made 26,334 "raw computer matches of present and recently employed federal work- ers" whose names appear to be carried'on state welfare rolls. The so-called raw matches, how- ever may not be indicative of the number of federal workers allegedly defrauding the welfare system. A pilot study run in Washington found that about 35 per cent of the raw matches resulted from computer error, andanother 20 per cent were legitimately receiving welfare bene- fits, although some were being overpaid. Califano said at least 27 per cent of the raw matches in the District were wrongly receiving welfare checks.
