Bill to Abolish State Welfare Board Proposed in Iowa House
Rep. F A Latchaw filed a bill to abolish the state board of social welfare and place welfare oversight with the state executive council and county boards, claiming nearly 1 million dollars in annual savings. A separate measure would raise legislators salaries to 2900 per session and boost leadership pay. The plan would also shift administering duties to county boards and maintain federal matching funds through the executive council. A second item expands market news to cattle, lambs, wool, poultry and eggs with a 20000 annual appropriation. A concurrent resolution urged study of Iowa peace courts and constable system, proposing a six member legislative committee to study the issue.

State Aid Sought for Tama County Indian Children
In Des Moines, Sen Richard V Lee introduced a bill in the Iowa senate to provide aid to dependent Indian children in Tama County after the federal government refused to help at the Tama reservation.

Surplus Goods Sold Then Rebought by U S
Senate war investigation chair James Mead charged that surplus wartime goods sold at auction by a firm later were repurchased by the government at higher figures. He said items returned to Brooklyn navy yard or arsenals with four to five profits added. Rep. Miller noted evidence of interagency sales discrepancies, including surgical bandages and fast-dispatch orders. The hearings accuse political influence and restricted participation, with four defects highlighted in the auction method.
