Oklahoma May Keep $45 Monthly Welfare Level
Oklahoma welfare officials see a higher federal aid as boosting the chance to maintain the $45 monthly maximum for old age assistance. President Truman signed a law extending the public assistance amendment effective October 1946, adding $5 federal payments where the average exceeds $15. The act also allows $4 for dependent children, but Oklahoma plans a 20 percent cut in that aid due to larger caseloads.

United States pressuring Russia over Korea unity deadline
Secretary of State Marshall told Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov that Russia has one week to respond on the Korean negotiations. The August 21 deadline aims to advance a United Korea under a Moscow agreement, or the U.S. will pursue other steps, potentially bridging via a four power conference or refocusing on southern Korea. The deadlocked talks have stalled the 1945 Moscow framework for a provisional government and trusteeship.

Labor-Management Meeting Unlikely
Washington August 147 President Truman said he does not plan to call a labor management conference like the CIO proposed to seek voluntary price cuts. He recalled the 1945 conference was unsuccessful and endorsed Attorney General Clark’s price investigation into food clothing and housing prices to see if conspiracies to raise prices exist. He noted reporters must wait to see if Clark can identify those causing price rises.

Indians Seek Less Government Jurisdiction in Indian Affairs
ANADARKO Okla Aug 14 Requests for reduced governmental jurisdiction in Indian affairs were adopted in two resolutions by Oklahoma inter tribal Indian council meeting in Anadarko.

Council President Jack Scott said the aim is greater liberties for competent Indians while not endorsing blanket restrictions. The group also urged immediate action on Indian claims settlement per a Truman signed bill. Officers from the past year were reselected.
