Dewey Attacks Pressure Groups Over War Funds
Albany New York Governor Dewey assails pressure groups accusing them of selfish aims in postwar war veteran aid and state treasury spending. He urges saving the surplus to finance services for 110000 New York veterans and criticizes highway decay and leaky state institutions while urging restraint on requests that would raise expenditures. Senator Aimen supports hydroelectric development and revives the Seaway plan to boost farm power and industrial competition. A memorial notice reports Amanda Sullivan dies at 104, widow of George Sullivan and grandmother of 16.
