House Rejects Burns Plan to Consolidate War and Navy
In a roll call vote the House defeated Representative Burns’s proposal to merge the War and Navy Departments, a plan that would have saved 50 million to 10 million dollars. McDuffie’s bid to require a flat ten percent wage cut for federal salaries over 2000 dollars failed. McCormack’s amendment to preserve the Saturday half holiday for federal workers passed, preventing a 9 million dollar saving being enacted. Barbour’s amendment to strike the move to abolish Army Navy and Panama Transport services to save 2 million a year was upheld.

Motion to dissolve injunction against book changes overruled
Charleston May 4 A motion to dissolve a temporary injunction stopping the state board of education from changing elementary school texts was overruled by Circuit Judge Arthur P. Hudson. The decision preserves the restraining order while a hearing determines if it will become permanent. The board had ordered changes in four subjects taught outside municipalities with populations above 3,500. Hudson held the board exceeded its authority and misconstrued the applicable law. The court also overruled a demurrer to Townsend's bill of complaint challenging the changes as against public policy.
