Trust suit looms over Mattie Hall estate aid
In 1961 Mattie Chafee Hall left most of her estate to aid the indigent through Aiken County Hospital which closed this year. The fund is 1 078 108.68 dollars and may pass to Julian Salley and his sister Eulalie Rutledge if the trust fails. County leaders argue funds should aid the indigent of Aiken County and not the hospital. Legal action awaits final accounts and interpretation of the will signed in 1960.

Debt Clash Looms Over Ford Budget Bid
Washington AP reports a late job program addition lifts the proposed budget target to over 413 billion dollars, risking a 50 billion dollar deficit next year and a spring clash with President Ford over spending. Ford seeks 395 billion for FY 1977 starting Oct 1 with a deficit not exceeding 42.9 billion. House and Senate committees backed outlays and revenue targets, increasing both spending and the deficit, and proposed a Social Security tax hike while keeping the current income tax cut.
