Kilgore to push federal aid for education and pollution control
Senator Kilgore of West Virginia pledged to actively push federal education aid and a stream pollution control bill in the new Congress. He argued education aid would capture tax revenue from resource-rich West Virginia and urged a workable program with tax credit incentives for plants adopting pollution controls. He said a federal approach via states is needed and plans to reintroduce the bill when Congress convenes.

Vote Probe Begun By Wallace Backers In West Virginia
The Progressive Party of West Virginia says it began collecting affidavits from voters who claim to have cast ballots for Henry Wallace for president in precincts with no Wallace vote officially recorded. State chairman Ervin Dement says at least 30,000 Wallace votes were voided or uncounted in the November 2 election and the party will seek a 1949 bathhouse law for miners and enter candidates in 1949 municipal elections. Dement cites McDowell County where president votes exceeded senate votes by 8,444, suggesting many were for Wallace.
