Four Thousand Mothers Face Pension Loss in Pa
About 4,000 widowed Pennsylvania mothers may lose Social Security aid unless a conference committee settles differences on the Mothers' Assistance bill by Monday. Deadlock over county board appointments persists as legislative adjourns, with funds diverted to cover June and July. If resolved, the state could rush a bill to Washington to secure several million dollars in federal grants for July onward.

Platform Debate Fails To Close On Constitutional Questions
Committee members vote against calling for a final ruling on constitutional handling of national social issues. A pledge to safeguard Federal power to address nationwide problems forms despite no clear amendment advocacy. Delegates expect policy statements to mimic earlier speeches attacking 32 years of Republican rule and pledging more New Deal if Roosevelt is reelected. Chairman Wagner and a resolutions subcommittee labored to refine wording as the full committee prepared to act.
