Duluth Men Sign Deal For LaForce Engine In Richmond

The deal, inked by William Ahlers and George Lahti, follows a tense day as the IRS deadline looms for funds. LaForce fears a Saturday advertisement of asset auction unless payment is made.

He favors expanding the Public Service Board, broadening its powers, and examining government or public ownership as potential lower-cost options.

Ford to discuss alternative economic energy plans in Congress
Washington sources say President Ford will hear Democratic leaders offer an alternative energy plan as a compromise to his anti-recession package. House Speaker Albert and Senate leaders join Mansfield in seeking a consensus, with possible 5 cent gas tax and no rapid oil import cuts. Ford may veto the tariff delay but could extend clemency deadlines as Goodell reports 10,000 cases awaiting review.
