Athens Eyes Next Link in Vital Highway Chain
The city advances plans for a Richland to Blackburn Road connector within the Route 50 and Route 33 system. State aims to finish Richland to Blackburn by 1981, with the overall 1.6 mile Stimson to Route 50E project wrapping up by late 1978. The new segment eases east west travel and may cut downtown congestion, but full independence from transient traffic awaits subsequent links.

Veteran in Jail As Chessie Siege Sparks Veteran Rights Debate
Ashley Leach, 30, of Huntington West Virginia, jailed in Cleveland on extortion kidnapping and felonious assault charges after taking up to 13 hostages to publicize veteran benefits concerns about Chessie System Inc. He released the hostages after a nine hour standoff upon seeing his story on national TV. Chessie officials defended veterans hiring and said demands were made under duress and would be reviewed. Leach, a Vietnam veteran, had been upset Chessie failed to register its apprenticeship program with the government, which could have provided extra payments to veteran workers. The firm pledged to extend veteran benefits and reimburse those cheated. Leach was wounded in Vietnam and had previously claimed he sought policy changes to aid veterans. He shouted I love America as he was escorted from Terminal Tower in handcuffs.
