Peter Edson reports movements to introduce full employment bills patterned after Washington in several states. California leads with a 36 member Dem majority bill, with New York and other capitals likely to follow as 44 of 48 states are in session. The plan would shift primary welfare duties to state governments to ease federal load, reflecting WPA criticism. Minor ad quips follow unrelated queries about Worcester sauce on bacon and towels.
