Ohio Governor Rhodes approves a plan drafted by State Welfare Director Denver White to restructure public welfare. The bill would consolidate aid for the aged blind disabled dependent children and poor relief under county welfare departments with strict state supervision eliminate 117 offices and shift aged aid to counties. It would funnel state utility taxes into the general fund for welfare costs and require counties to appropriate funds based on ability to pay and dependence. The state could take over a troubled county department and extend ADCU beyond June 30 next year.
