Increased Home Control Over Welfare Proposed
Baltimore Feb 27 Charles Wagaman said he would ask Maryland County Commissioners to propose changes to the State Salary Standards Act for county welfare workers and to push for greater home control over welfare funds at the coming special legislative session. Wagaman chairs a county committee studying welfare laws, arguing salaries vary unfairly among counties and that wealthier areas pay more to attract staff. The plan aims to address salary disparities and fund administration, noting Washington County has refused to raise wages. In a related incident, a Winchester to Harrisburg bus overturned near Carlisle injuring three, including William E. Giffon, who helped open a safety door for other passengers.
