Louisiana lawmakers face stinging charges over wartime absences
Senator Stafford denounces tactics preventing army officers Morrison and Cotton from attending sessions while in service. The two led Governor Sam Jones's administration actions and backed a 2 percent retail sales tax that passed the House. Senate support appears split at 19 to 19 with one undecided. Other lawmakers in uniform faced furloughs and attendance limits as districts contend with wartime duties. A separate report notes J. R. Rogers found injured near the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home and treated at a charity hospital.
