Pension Bureau May Be Sought
Gov. James E. Folsom indicated the state may establish a separate old age pension bureau within the Welfare Department. He warned recommendations may change and noted funding needs to meet public demands. He also said the milk control and real estate boards would join the state budget, and endorsed PSC if it seeks Supreme Court review of ICC rail-rate orders. He will begin a statewide tour to report on his first two years in office.
