House Passes Earle Program Advances Liquor and Police Merger
Harrisburg June 5 The Democratic House cleared the Earle administration agenda by approving three must items relief liquor and police merger and prepared for adjournment of the 132nd legislature.

The plan also merges the state police and highway patrol into a Pennsylvania motor police and expands the liquor control board powers over the liquor monopoly.
