State Planning Commission Approved in Harrisburg
In Harrisburg the state House approved Gov. George M. Leader’s plan to form an independent State Planning Commission. The 153 to 33 vote, all dissenting Republicans, allows removal of the Planning Board from the Commerce Department and sets up a 15 member citizen commission with department heads serving by office. The agency will support the governor’s economic rehabilitation program. Republican Rep. Albert W. Johnson said the plan fails to save money or merge agencies.
