Atlantic States Rally for Offshore Oil Case at Supreme Court
Atlantic seaboard states marshal forces for a possible Supreme Court fight over ownership of offshore oil and minerals beyond coastal waters. Maine, led by Attorney General James Erwin, says untold billions may be at stake. States plan a common counsel and aim to press oral arguments by mid 1970, with Florida and others invited to join the coordinated effort. Maine has already licensed King Resources Co. to explore three million Gulf of Maine offshore acres. The federal government seeks to limit state rights in offshore mineral extraction.

Two-Bit Haircut Thing Of Past By PEG HENDRCK
The piece notes shaving and haircut prices shrinking as barbers shift to lighter services. Ralph LaBranche offers shaves at 75 cents while others charge up to 2.50 for styling, with many shops seeing business drop by half due to long hair trends. Local barbers report slower weekends and fewer customers, especially students and long-time clients, as they adapt with limited shaving services and occasional free offerings.
