The measure risks federal relief funds if the public welfare board is abolished. The session also advanced and postponed several other bills including tax and funding changes, with the four-year bill remaining under committee review.

Bill Proposes Abolishing Local School in Idaho
Idaho State Senator Alvin Derr introduced a bill in the legislature to abolish Southern Branch and convert it into a junior college at Pocatello under a 1939 law. The state board would maintain the campus for one year and the four year pharmacy program would continue under the board. The bill also calls for paying off all bonded debts of the Southern Branch. A separate House bill seeks a four year curriculum in all divisions.

Morgenthau Says Britain Debt To U S Mentally Written Off
Secretary Morgenthau told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Britain’s last war debt to the United States, amounting to 5.73 billion dollars, had been “mentally” charged off. He said the British aid bill would allow material support without immediate payment and note only a future accounting. He cited dollar exchange limits delaying 2000 British fighter plane orders and warned locking up plants could idle production after April without credit.
