Dead's Records Proposed in Bill
A bill introduced by Senator Myers would create a national war memorials commission and prepare an adequate history of every World War II casualty for next of kin at about 20 dollars per record. The measure envisions unpaid commissioners and a comprehensive veterans record program. Other Senate bills include Wheeler proposing liquor sales to Indians.
