Halt Sought by Pearson Over Parsons Plant Closure
Senator James B. Pearson of Kansas called on the Defense Department to withdraw its order to close the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant at Parsons. He cited GAO findings suggesting the move would raise Army costs and undermine the projected 2 million savings, with 960000 of that tied to items not produced at Parsons and higher Joliet production costs for 105mm shells. Transportation costs were also reportedly misstated by the Army according to the GAO inquiry.

County Sales Tax Plan Shifts Burden in Neosho County
Gov. Robert Docking's plan would move state funding for county social welfare costs to the state, saving Neosho County money but increasing costs for towns, schools, and other local taxing units. The state would absorb 181,013.29 dollars in 1972, while 128,335.50 dollars in sales tax residue would not be returned to local units. Net county gain would be 130,686.54 dollars, lowering county levy by about three mills, though total unit levies would rise overall. Continued on page 11.
