Red Cross sails Suez Canal for civilian prisoner exchange
The International Red Cross operates boats across the Suez Canal for civilian and prisoner exchanges between Egypt and Israel under the 1949 Geneva Accords. Since the 1967 war, 84 exchanges have reunited families, moving over 1200 people. Today’s crossing brings Egyptian bound civilians and doctors back toward home, while Israeli observers note the ongoing reconciliation effort.

Oregon to replace driver ed with long-range safety program
Education Today Oregon will launch a comprehensive traffic safety education program next fall in public schools from kindergarten through college. The plan, developed after funding fears, shifts focus from behind the wheel to lifelong safety concepts for pedestrians cyclists and motorists, with driver education returning as an elective at later grades and booster sessions offered after two years through high school or community college.

Ways eyed to control food prices
Washington officials met with twelve large supermarket chains to urge close scrutiny of pricing and operations. A Safeway president predicted meat prices may fall soon, while Treasury Secretary Connally said no price controls were discussed and promised weekly price reports from grocers. Authorities in Mexico City reported two brothers, ages 15 and 12, threatened to blow up a bank after watching police programs on television.
