World War veterans gain extended time for home aid bills
World War II era veterans who missed the December 31 deadline for home loan applications may receive a one year extension under a bill in the Senate. The measure, introduced by Senator Elllie of Appanoose, follows late filings and is mirrored by a house proposal for cosmetic therapy licensing and a state banking board to manage public funds. A separate architectural licensing bill passed the Senate 26 to 7, urged by architects seeking higher professional standards.
