Deadline Facing Salons On Bills
Life and Fisheries Commission meetings with lawmakers yielded no bill. Rep John Garrett plans a grants-in-aid bill for private segregated schools and a three-man unpaid commission to distribute funds. He also introduced voter registration bills requiring a citizenship test, conflicting with a Little Hoover Commission move to abolish the Board of Registration. Another segregation bill seeks welfare funds for recipients leaving the state, backed by George Singlemann and linked to freedom bus rides for Negroes.
