Folsom Nominees for Auburn Board Hearings Prompt Action
Alabama politics report that public hearings on two of Governor James E. Folsom's Auburn board nominees stirred activity in Montgomery. A House member plans a resolution urging Senate confirmation while five of six Fifth District senators favored a public hearing for Dr. Davis of Albertville. The governor hints he may push the nominations if the Senate delays. A separate measure would allow women to serve on juries by request, not by compulsion, and a tax bill to replace sales tax with a flat levy is discussed in the Senate.
