Pentagon Cuts Set In More Bases
The Pentagon plans to save over 37 million dollars annually by merging or phasing out 33 U.S. bases and 6 overseas facilities, eliminating more than 1,400 civilian jobs. McNamara announced a sixth consolidation move since 1961, with 3,000 civilian and 1,700 military workers reassigned. Major steps include ending Navy antisubmarine P5 seaplane operations at 12 bases by 1968 and shifting work to land-based aircraft, plus closure of Bayonne Naval Supply Center and Fort Hancock in New Jersey, and deactivation of 14 Army Reserve Corps headquarters by 1968. The 1st Naval District will merge with the 3rd in Boston to cover New England, New York, and northern New Jersey.

New Ohio Districts Proposed By ROBERT E. MILLER in Columbus
Ohio lawmakers move toward a new reapportionment plan to be presented in the May primary. John M. McElroy and Attorney General Saxbe say the plan would use the current temporary map until after the 1970 census, with firmer guidelines for the apportionment board. The House debates a large pay-raise bill for about 45,000 state workers, with cabinet members potentially gaining up to 10 000 annually. The reapportionment plan mirrors last year’s plan, ordered temporarily by a federal court.
