Army Secretary Stan Resor told Gov. Docking that only a handful of the 69th Brigade will be called overseas each month. He said 14 of about 4,000 activated Kansas guardsmen had been called to Aug. Calls will be individual based on specialty, not by unit. Docking plans a visit to Ft. Carson to ease families concerns. The 69th remains in strategic reserves with no plan to deploy as a unit.

Kansas Highway Commission maps I-70 resurfacing plan
The Kansas Highway Commission announced a resurfacing program for Interstate 70 once the route is fully opened. Seventeen to twenty one miles from Brewster to Goodland will open late next month, with the final section to the Colorado border graded and surfaced next summer. The plan includes a three inch asphalt overlay between Salina and Colby and older concrete west of Topeka, to be completed between 1970 and 1974 without closing the highway. The eight mile Valencia to Maple Hill segment was part of the first national construction contract, and the total I-70 cost in Kansas is about 150.05 million dollars for 370.1 miles.
