Albany Governor Rockefeller urges creation of a Capital District Parks Region to run a vast outdoor recreation network. A bill would reorganize the state into 12 regional park commissions, with the 11th region including Albany and nearby counties and portions of surrounding counties. NYC would form the 12th region. In Glens Falls, Leo Joseph Murray, recently convicted of robbery first degree and assault second degree, was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in Dannemora’s Clinton Prison and 2.5 to five years on the assault count for the Sept 17 1965 laundromat beating and theft of a pocketbook.

Albright Questions Resolution in Vietnam Debate
Rev. Roger Albright of Burlington says a House General Committee Vietnam resolution is ambiguous and condem natory. He cites eight debatable areas, criticizes calling the conflict a vicious war, and questions references to past and current presidents’ Southeast Asia policies. He argues the clause condemning those who divide could target Sen. George D. Aiken.

In Montpelier Gov Hoff fronts a bill to lift FPCA loan interest to 7 percent as the Senate passes it amid delay attempts. The measure, backed by Sen Hayes, aims to let the farm credit group charge a higher, yet feasible, rate while banks show lower national rates.
