One Day Session Planned for Welfare Funds in West Virginia
Legislative leaders expect a one day special session Monday in Charleston to approve about 450000 for welfare funds to sustain public works for jobless fathers and aid to dependent children through June 30. Gov Barron and aides will finalize plans, with two main options: amend the 1963-64 budget or seek a supplemental appropriation via the State Board of Public Works. Leaders favor the latter to minimize controversy and avoid sweeping expirations beyond 700000.
