The planes which had acct

Comdr. Casey and his crew had
no way of knowing whether, at

THE problem of States rights

In its business meeting the
Senate cleared and sent to the
House three welfare bills, CO.

Northrop. One would make the
State eligible for about 100000

new Federal welfare program.
The other two would keep
certain welfare patients on the
States Welfare Department rolls
when they are admitted to State
hospitals. Under the present
setup they are transferred to
Health Department responsibility
and the State loses basic Federal
welfare support for them.

Given in Brundage Letter
At that time Budget Director
Percival F. Brundage sent Chair
man Mcmillan of the House Dis
trict Committee a letter outlin-
ing the Presidents and other
views regarding the home-rule
legislation which had been
passed by the Senate, but was
then being held up by the House
group.
The House group never acted
on the bill and efforts to take it
directly to the House floor
through a discharge petition also
failed. There is reported to be
considerable opposition among
legislators to the appointed
mayor idea. even among those
generally favoring home rule.

the date for the proposed new
