Tennessee Senate Cuts Government Expense in State Budget
Nashville Jan 2 AP The Tennessee Senate unanimously backed a budget restraint plan matching yesterday's House action. It fixes maximum pay for appointive employees at a set rate and restricts committees to finance and ways and means only. Governor elect Hill McAlister supports the move and party unity appears solid as nominations for Senate and House speakers advance. A petition challenges Senator Jesse G Smiths seat, citing alleged funds miscounts in his county clerk office. Smith denies the charge, calling it politics of the cheapest variety and says the dispute concerns clerical help levels. The case proceeds in court with no dissent.
