Deeper Look Urged On School Aid By Republican Candidate
John Griffiths, Republican candidate for the Shamokin area school board, told a Special Senate Investigating Committee that the Public Instruction Department should probe distressed districts more deeply and depoliticize education. He testified that PTA meetings were blocked by the district, that coal contracts were mispriced compared with neighboring districts, and that four of seven board members were on the state payroll, though no contracts were illegal.

One unnamed lawmaker believes passage and a Lawrence signature by April 15 would suffice.

Shields against cost of living rise draw attention as inflation fears resurface. Labor Department says four million workers are covered by wage escalator clauses, while investors diversify into stocks, variable annuities, gold, real estate, and art treasures. Critics warn of a price–spiral loop. Gold and stones offer hedges abroad, but storage costs and uncertain returns persist. Real estate and selective stocks have lifted portfolios, though many equities trade below 1946 levels.
