Monthly School Funds Promised
Senator James M. Matthews Jr of Clark said he would introduce an Ohio senate bill to amend the school foundation program act to distribute funds monthly instead of quarterly. He said the change would save school boards about two months of interest on borrowed funds each quarter, noting the current quarterly schedule, funded mainly by the state sales tax, requires borrowing when distributions lag.

Deadlock on Housing Bill Broken Today
A Senate House committee ended a three week deadlock on the housing measure from the recent special session. The conference committee removed a Senate amendment requiring prevailing wages on financed homes. Senator Lodge plans to push the amendment again when the Senate votes on the compromise bill. The administration hopes the bill will revive construction activity by boosting private housing investment. Conferees on the farm bill report most issues settled and aim to place the bill on the statute books by February 1, with farmers paid on the same basis as soil conservation benefits. Senate filibuster persists, with anti-lynching delays continuing despite progress on holdovers.
