Homeless Children Costly to Welfare Department
In Little Rock the 1,200 homeless children under Welfare care will exceed the $450,000 annual appropriation. Welfare Commissioner Jim Phillips told Gov. Faubus the cost could reach $600,000 through July 1. He requests an adoption halt, noting most youths are 10 to 18 and often not available for adoption while many are mentally retarded. A small surplus prevents immediate shortfall, but funds will be needed for the next two years.

Anchorage City Council approves a $50 million urban renewal plan to reconstruct the quake wrecked city. A 30 acre central business core would be bordered by an earthquake park with large parking and one way traffic, seeking 75 percent federal aid.
