Welfare Board Fight Bill Sparks State Debate
A Savannah delegation led by Colonel Peel and Mrs Alstetter pressed Governor Hardwick and Senator Manson to oppose a bill by Senator Mangan to abolish the state department of public welfare. Hardwick urged legislative study and a care ful investigation, while advocates warned abolition would harm dependent children until a new control board is established.
