Money Troubles Loom for New Administration
In Charleston the new Republican state administration may face early money troubles if workers begin leaving for other jobs. Tax Commissioner Joseph Sata reports seven resignations in one week from a 220 member staff, including field examiners and clerical workers. A 1949 Board of Public Works rule allows 30 days paid leave, risking budget shortfalls for replacements unless the 1937 Legislature adds funds.

The NLRB asks to bar insisting on coast wise or multiple port contracts and to halt the strike aimed at such deals.
