Kiwanis Dinner Discusses Voting and Dollar Value
Gen Devereux proposed a Loyal Opposition committee of retired officers and qualified citizens to advise legislators on spending programs or a watchdog staff of experts for Congressional expenditures. A dollar base shift was debated as potentially easing perception of inflation, with the 1995-39 base cited and a move to 1947-49 base suggested. The event, Kiwanis ladies night, was held in a hotel ballroom with President John R. Cheatham presiding and Col Elmer Munshower as program chairman.
