County Board Changes Key Appointees
The Madison County Board of Commissioners opened 1967 with a surprise shakeup of key Democrat appointees at the courthouse. William Wood led the reorganized board, replacing Democrat Jesse Biddle with new appointees including Walter C. Dietzen as county attorney and Floyd Cunningham as highway supervisor. The changes reflect factional differences and shift several key posts to Democrats as Joe L. Brogdon took the sheriff role.

GM Sees 1968 Safety Standards Meetable With Modest Changes
Detroit AP GM reports it can meet 10 proposed government safety standards for 1968 models and, with minor modifications, six more. Five standards cannot be included in next year's models and would require more engineering knowledge. GM submitted a six page letter and a 172 page report to Dr. William Haddon Jr. of the National Traffic Safety Agency as the agency reviews 1968 model rules. Ford Chrysler AMC executives warned full compliance could threaten some assembly lines. Haddon plans to issue final rules Jan. 31 and will study company responses next month.
