Emergency powers for governor eyed in Pennsylvania war bills
Harrisburg March 22 Legislation granting Governor Martin broad powers to suspend or modify laws to aid the war effort is moving through the legislature this week. Two bills, crafted after GOP and Democratic leaders backed the plan, would authorize the governor to stay laws on federal or military request. Debate includes calls for public hearings and clarifications from the minority. Other items include a $26 million boost for teacher salaries, funding via a 4 percent state net corporate tax, and moves to reform the parole system while continuing wartime veteran measures and unemployment fund adjustments. Scattered measures touch veteran benefits, licenses for returning servicemen, and post war scholarships.
