Arizona legislative moves and fair notes loom
Bill Turnbow reports political fund raising ongoing as party rivals prepare next year. The Special Legislative Committee on State Operations will meet Nov 21 to decide actions on the Arizona Industrial Commission and to address issues at the State Department of Public Welfare. Exhibits at the fair receive praise, though space limits persist. The Maricopa County Democratic Committee eyes funds from fair programs and sales by its hawkers and Phoenix Jaycee Dudettes. A lawsuit over a state land report involving Governor Garvey draws comment, while a deputy county attorney may seek higher office in 1950. Repeal efforts on Arkansas Right to Work law attract labor interest. Backstagers anticipate a difficult four-year term bill passage in Arizona, recalling 1946 defeat.
