New York Central Abandons Long-Haul Passenger Trains
New York Central Railroad will discontinue all long-haul passenger service starting next January and replace with high speed shuttle lines. The move, announced by executive VP Wayne Hoffman, aims to trim luxuries as dining and sleeping cars vanish. The plan seeks Interstate Commerce Commission approval by Sept. 1, with service limited to 80 paired cities under 200 miles apart. The fate of the Broadway Limited remains uncertain amid merger talks with Pennsy.

Administration warns Congress on proposed sale of dollars

Assistant Treasury Secretary Wallace warned that opening vaults could trigger a coin mania and profit would go to the general fund, while noting the groups are reputable but coin windfall should belong to all Americans.

Senate Action on Arms Aid Bill Moves Forward
The Senate approved a 2.06 billion dollar economic aid bill and turned to a separate 892 million dollar military aid measure for FY 1967. Aimed to curb Latin American arms sales, the military proposal would cap arms purchases at 55 million, potentially cutting overall flow south of the border. The House-Senate conference will reconcile differences as leaders seek a prompt agreement amid broader economic aid extensions and housing and anti Klan measures.
