Aged lobbyist seeks claim as House backs bill
In Harrisburg on May 6 the House approved a bill to appropriate 10000 dollars to settle Olga Schwarz of Scranton's claim against the commonwealth for her husband’s 1809 death. Schwarz, a polio-crippled longtime observer of Capitol affairs, watched the action and expressed gratitude as she awaits Senate action and Governor Marlin’s signature. Rep. Harry P. O'Neill has sponsored measures to secure the money, arguing the state owes her after her husband's insurer paid the bankrupt company and she never cashed a 1914 dividend of 543 dollars. Schwarz has attended House sessions for twelve weeks and remains hopeful.
