Welfare bill delayed by statewide welfare costs
Washington AP report shows the House Ways and Means Committee delaying a massive Social Security welfare measure as states face higher welfare costs. Chairman Wilbur Mills says proposals to shield states from increases are under discussion while full cost figures are awaited from the Education and Welfare Department.
