Jones told about 150 Ravenswood residents at a high school hearing that the Ravenswood Ohio River toll bridge could be open by 1978 if conditions stay on track.

The hearing noted no objections and called for public speed in the project.

Conference Unit Okays 20 Million Public Campaign Funds
Congress agrees that Democratic and Republican presidential candidates receive 20 million dollars each in public funds and must stay within spending limits. Public financing comes from taxpayers who check off contributions on tax forms under a 1971 system. The plan limits Senate and House races and sets matching funds rules, with detailed caps on individual and organizational donations and spending for primaries and general elections.

Loophole Found In Amnesty Plan
Defense officials acknowledge a loophole in President Ford’s amnesty plan that could allow returning Vietnam era deserters to avoid penalties by failing to complete alternate service. Draft evaders would face federal penalties if they reneged. The Pentagon says pledges to perform alternate service are not legally binding contracts. Deserters must report to military authorities and sign a new allegiance pledge, then may receive an undesirable discharge. If they fail to report or abandon the assigned job, no clear penalties exist.
