Primary April 3 set to trim constitutional convention slate
State wide primary scheduled for April 3 to whittle down 52 candidates for delegate-at-large to the constitutional convention. If five had withdrawn, the primary would be unnecessary. 20 candidates will be cut and 32 advance to the May 1 election, with the top 16 elected. Numerous withdrawals across districts render primaries in several areas unnecessary.

Federal paper price arbitration urged for economy
Washington March 9 The Federal Trade Commission says price fixing for newsprint will work only if publishers practice strict cost cutting. Publishers receive forms requiring a five percent cut in paper use and end to return privileges while buying only urgent needs. The plan operates six months with an initial $2.50 price, to be tested three months before possible adjustment, with a mechanism to reserve paper for small publishers.

Elevation fare debate highlights city transport gains
Elbridge R. Anderson for the Boylston Street Merchants Association argues a fare increase would indirectly aid the Elevated road and boost Boston transport. He cites 250000 daily riders, with two thirds from outside Boston, and says extra cents fund subway rentals and improvements for broad public benefit. Petitioners push for relief of burdens on the Elevated, while opponents from Cambridge and developer groups warn of city damage and unfair burdens on property values.
