Texas Governor Battles Federal Old Age Pension Clash
Governor Coke Stevenson says the Federal Social Security Board was informed of Texas earnings act provisions and should have objected. He warns Washington not to threaten old age aid withdrawal over the Texas plan allowing earners up to 250 dollars yearly, and notes talks with Welfare Director-elect John Winters and Rep. Ennis Favors. Powell sets hearing dates as federal requirements loom, with See Pensions Page 13.
