Tennessee Calls for State Aid to Secure Federal Relief
Nashville August 22. Governor McAlister and two state relief officials travel to Washington to press for larger Tennessee grants. They warn that federal relief funds will be released and then stopped unless local and state funds are raised. Officials note Tennessee has already received about 3.96 million in federal relief, with future grants contingent on state and local expenditures. The group stresses cooperative funding to ensure continued aid for distressed citizens as a $500 million emergency relief program aims to avoid exhausting funds before winter.
