Virginia House expected to approve constitutional convention plan
Governors indicated it may take a day or two to smooth kinks in the proposed measure. The House was poised for quick approval of Senate-passed legislation setting a March 5 convention to amend the State Constitution to allow public funds for private schooling. A study of the State Milk Commission was discussed as a compromise, while tax plans could free about 63 million for capital projects in 1958. Opposition rumors persist, some favoring a general sales tax, with action delayed to Thursday or Friday as 15 senators pressed to craft a strong, precise resolution.
