STATE department decision to

Now that house has approved $10 million for information and culture activities for coming year, leaders may sidetrack bill making these state department functions permanent. It took considerable persuasion to get appropriation through; leaders are timid about reopening subject. -

Amusements are suffering as are taverns.
