Baytown Area Sees Shifts in Schools and Elections
In 1969 Baytown area politics and education faced firm battles as a new school superintendent Johnny J. Clark Jr. from Hereford took aim amid a 0 percent tax increase proposal and a board split.

Lee College reported 220 percent enrollment growth and $1 million in new facilities.

FCC Examiner Snubs Texas Radio Bids
A Federal Communications Commission examiner recommended denial of two FM applications in San Antonio. Bexar Broadcasting sought 107.5 MHz for KAPE and Turner Broadcasting proposed moving KBUC-FM to 107.5, both cited for failing to show awareness of area needs. The ruling awaits final action in about 50 days unless appealed. In Krisnagar, India, police sold 760 pounds of lup fish seized from smugglers at a fifth of the normal price, drawing a crowd of nearly 2,000.

Washington AP Sen. William Proxmire says Navy cost overruns on the Poseidon missile program push totals beyond earlier figures. Officials testified over whether a $3.6 billion adjustment should be added to $3.3 and $1.27 billion overruns, with Proxmire calling the escalation out of hand while Navy leaders defend the estimates as misaligned and seek an early House Senate probe.
