Take a Hard Ride review with Brown Williamson and Van Cleef
The film stars Jim Brown and Fred Williamson as Pike and Tyree on a mission to deliver 86000 to a widow, protected by an uneasy alliance. Lee Van Cleef appears as a bounty hunter with Barry Sullivan in a Canary Islands shot Western that yields choppy editing and a PG rating for violence and language.

Colorful Cars Not Meant To Lull Unwary Motorists
DES MOINES AP. Iowa officials say thirty brightly colored highway patrol cars are not to lull unwary motorists. Deputy Commissioner Bob Holetz notes the emblem on each door remains large. Most colored cars were assigned to staff supervisors who issue speeding tickets. Legislation previously limited unmarked cars to 14, one per district, with officials assuring that this is all the unmarked fleet they have or plan to use.

Transportation Fund Proposed By Subcommittee
A joint legislative subcommittee in Des Moines proposed a new multipurpose transportation fund separate from the Iowa road use fund. It would finance rail, aviation, transit and waterways with details still undecided as the plan moves toward Gov. Ray’s December 1 report and a January 1975 legislative briefing. Transportation Director Preisser emphasized funding nonhighway projects, replacing the current patchwork of ad hoc grants and small funds. ON THIS DATE in 1945 Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Tse-tung pledged peace and unity in postwar China.
