Work Relief Bill Passed By Senate In Ohio
The Ohio Senate party lines held firm as Republicans pushed a work relief bill through. The 19 to 12 vote defeated Democratic amendments and sent the measure to the House, with both parties praising work relief as beneficial. Sponsor Roy B. Gardner projected $1 million annual savings to be reinvested in education, while the bill still aims to remove welfare chiselers. The session adjourned for weekend and will resume Monday night for week 13. In Saigon, the South Vietnamese government reported 47 Communist guerrillas killed in Tay Ninh and an arms factory seized earlier in the week.
