Civil Defense Bill Near Passage In Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania House rushed a civil defense package toward final vote as Gov. Fine’s plan clears, with a death penalty provision for industrial saboteurs when loss of life occurs. The package creates a 12 member State Council of Civil Defense and broad emergency powers, while enabling local financing and mutual aid with other states. Absentee voting provisions for service members also advance for the 1951 primary on July 24.

Legislature debates July 24 primary date and absentee voting changes
A Senate passed bill seeks moving the 1951 primary from September 11 to July 24 and would grant servicemen absentee voting. The House sent the measure back to the Senate amid disputes over cabinet confirmations led by Fine, with Democrats blocking appointments unless Attorney General Margold is named. The legislature also orders future gubernatorial inaugurations indoors at the State Farm Show arena and passes a motorcycle muffler ban bill.
