New England Development Commission Inauguration
Washington reports New England's congressional delegation shows split over appointing a federal co chairman for the new regional economic development commission. Senator Aiken questions the process, while Senator Muskie and Governor Volpe voice cautious optimism about federal state cooperation and regional growth. Aiken warns the group to avoid a grant-recipient mood as ceremonies with Commerce Secretary Connor are held. Weather across New England brings heavy snow, high winds, and widespread power outages with damage to buildings, lines, and multiple fires in Boston and western areas.

Opposition in Senate to Proposed School Milk Cut
Senate Agriculture subcommittee heard sharp criticism of President Johnson’s plan to reduce federal subsidies for school lunches and milk. Chairman Holland and senators Young Proxmire voiced strong opposition, arguing many children would lose access to milk if cuts proceed.
