BECKLEY West Virginia state police divers found Isaac Eller's body about 11 a.m. Monday near the dash where his pickup entered the New River. Dragging will resume at 10 a.m. for Shirley Eller and two children Rosalee and James Isaac. Officials blame broken pavement on U S 19 W Va 41 near Prince for the accident that dumped four Piney View family members into the river. The road defect with a nine inch gutter drop has caused repeated crashes and loss of control into guardposts.

Economic report cites inflation risk on policy shifts

CIA procurement practices draw House scrutiny and questions
A House report questions CIA accommodation procurements of American goods for foreign dignitaries. It cites purchases such as three model airplane kits for a foreign official’s son and two armored limousines for a third world leader identified as South Korea’s Park Chung Hee. Reimbursements were said to be cash but verification was unclear, with costs borne by U.S. taxpayers. The report notes reluctance to deny favors to hostile officials and alleges contracts were sometimes issued in other agencies’ names. President Johnson ordered a halt to covert contracts with private groups in 1967, yet the CIA reportedly maintains limited covert ties with some U.S. colleges and universities.
