Grand Jury Slams McGrath Over Smoke Screen Charge
A federal grand jury in Miami accuses former Attorney General J Howard McGrath of using the grand jury system as a smoke screen and a grandstand play. The foreman says no information supported crimes or racketeering and condemns the approach. McGrath deems the charges ridiculous and cites lack of knowledge about the juries. He suggests yearly grand juries should investigate conditions in their districts.

Pension Increase Decision Left to Ways Means
Sacramento reports that the Assembly Ways and Means Committee now decides on a bill raising old age pensions from 80 to 85 a month. The Social Welfare Committee sent the bill to Ways and Means without recommendation after a 5 to 5 vote, Vernon Kilpatrick argued the increase would barely keep pensioners ahead of January 1949 levels, with costs estimated at 16 million dollars total across state counties and federal funds. Kilpatrick said the Ways and Means panel must determine if the state can afford the tax.
