Governor opposes diverting federal road funds for beautification
West Virginia Governor Hulett C. Smith told a Senate subcommittee he opposes diverting federal road funds for landscaping and beautification, warning the measure could force mandatory fund use for nonconstruction aims. He praised existing scenic programs and opposed diverting one third of funds to scenic roads and recreation areas. He also testified on unemployment compensation and opposed extending coverage to a single-worker employer, urging four or more workers for adequate coverage. He condemned an amendment to the Appalachia provisions as rank discrimination, which failed in the House.
