Gibbs Peck Explain Vote On Hot Lunch
Rep. Lawrence Gibbs of Monroe and Rep. W. S. Peck Jr of Sicily Island spoke on their votes regarding the hot lunch program. Gibbs praised the program and opposed any reduction citing harms to students and the $10 million allocation in the 1962-63 education budget. Peck said he opposed the reduction and the $10 million appropriation, arguing it would lower state contributions per lunch and signaling opposition to cutting hot lunch funds.

Idle funds bill dies again in Louisiana Senate panel
The Senate finance committee voted 9-4 against the idle funds bill, blocking Gov. Jimmie H. Davis allies' effort to allow the state to invest idle funds to earn interest. Senators Adcock Gilbert Duplantier and chair Cleveland debated banking practices and state owes to parish school boards, while supporters argued the measure would not divert state deposits. A similar bill by Duplantier had failed earlier this session.
