Senate Restores Money for Study of State Finances
The New Hampshire Senate revived a plan by Gregg to conduct an interim study of state finances and taxes. It restored 15,000 dollars to the appropriation and let the governor name three of the nine to fifteen members, with the Legislature naming the rest. The bill goes back to the House. The chamber also approved a 722,000 dollar bond for recreational centers and added 76,000 more to it while delaying a 176,000 dollar central bakery bond at the State Prison. A controversial House pay-raise bill for 78 officials totaling 123,000 remained in finance committee, and absentee voting in primaries stayed stalled awaiting action. The Senate changed the primary date from September to June, and the House would not concur.

Warning Network for Tornadoes See at Small Expense
Washington The Weather Bureau said radar tornado warning installations exist in 25 cities with prospects for a nationwide system. It has cost taxpayers almost nothing so far and likely will cost little for a national network. Captain Howard P. Orville urged a five million dollar plan for 35 radar stations over 10 years. The bureau chief differed on feasibility but noted a larger network could be done cheaply, and radar use began five to six years ago to scan storms and tornadoes.
