Executive Council Names CD Head In Granite State
George McAvoy, head of the Governor's Office of Comprehensive Planning, was nominated as New Hampshire director of civil defense but will have no control over state police or the National Guard in an emergency. Civil defense duties will be handled by Con. John Blatsos under Gov. Meldrim Thomson's executive order. The Executive Council, meeting at Wentworth-Coolidge House in Portsmouth, confirmed Dr. Jack E. Melton as head of the Laconia State School for mentally retarded and handicapped children, appointing a $23,315 directorship set to begin Oct. 15. The council also tabled a federal grant vote on vehicles for private welfare agencies amid Thomson's reservations about nine agencies and federal regulations. He plans to survey councilors by telephone afterward.
