Dispute grows between Pennsylvania House and Senate over social security bills
Harrisburg June 17 A clash between the Democratic House and Republican Senate over Governor Earle s New Deal social security program threatens new trouble for the state legislature. The Senate quickly passed three security measures to extend mothers assistance and align pensions with federal rules, then sent them to the House with amendments. The House sponsor Anna Brancato urged rejection of an amendment raising the administering board to nine, while the House accepted it amid pressure. The House may face a tough reception in the Senate over the changes, while debate on old age pensions under federal law was deferred. An emergency crisis also surfaced as the State Emergency Relief Board sought a $6 million grant to avoid exhausting current funds by Tuesday. Karl De Schweinitz said relief funds would run out unless the new appropriation passed, with a $4.931 million transfer already used since June 1. The House and Governor Earle pressed for continued relief as the current fund lasts.

Senate Talks Speed Action On Revenue Relief Program

Governor Earle signed a $700,000 mining flood pump bill to the Health Department for mine drainage in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Fayette and Westmoreland counties.
