Welfare abuse probe stalls in HEW plan
A HEW study of welfare roll chiseling will be postponed while a later in-depth inquiry is planned. The crash program to end abuses was dropped after findings in West Virginia showed 11 to 15 percent on disability relief could work if motivated. Taxpayers fear welfare has become a permanent part of the economy and a way of life for many families.

Disturbing Trend in North Carolina Population Shifts 1950–60
Only 13 of North Carolina's 100 counties registered population gains during the 1950s to 1960s decade, with four counties—Carteret, Cumberland, Mecklenburg, and Onslow—posting 10 percent or more gains largely due to military installations. Many counties showed declines, especially 27 with up to 10 percent losses and 17 over 20 percent. The shift reflects agricultural changes and a need for development to spur trade and industry.
