Auto dealers wholesalers and the State Motor Vehicles Department, backed by Gov. Umstead, support a mechanical inspection law in Raleigh.

State Veterans Bonus Bill Killed Unanimously By House Committee
In Raleigh the state veterans bonus bill, backed by Amvets to fund bonuses for World War II and Korea veterans, was killed unanimously by the House Veterans Legislation Committee. The proposal would have set up an election and offered up to 500 dollars for overseas service and 300 dollars for state side service, with an estimated cost near 200 million. Members cited budget needs for education and mental institutions, while some argued veterans served without seeking a bonus. A late letter from former Sen. Tom Sawyer arrived as the committee acted.
