Udall Disaster Funds Challenge State Emergency Budget
TOPEKA Gov. Fred Hall says the Udall tornado response highlights a flaw in Kansas emergency funding. The state emergency fund cannot cover cash grants for non state facility recovery. Hall will raise the issue with the Legislature at the 1956 budget or 1957 general session. Eisenhower has offered extra federal aid to Udall with an estimated 650000 needed beyond insurance to restore essential facilities, to be finalized with federal civil defense officials.
