Cleanup and flood debris disrupt downtown areas
City crews cleaned a polluted catch basin in front of Marine Bank after storms left a thick black ooze. Across the street Chamber of Commerce staff led by Michael DeCorte reported near completion of basement flood cleanup, with muddy residue remaining. Conrail workers at Center street removed old asphalt, created a new basin, and laid crushed rock, raising questions about a gravel crossing and road surface across the tracks.

Dollar Wavers as Pound Rises on Intervention Talk
The dollar weakened against the British pound in London trading with the pound near 1.74 dollars amid hints the U.S. government would intervene to halt the slide. The dollar also rose against the West German mark Swiss franc and French franc, while European officials warned the decline could threaten global recovery and the Common Market’s Snake currency linkage. Washington reported a record $2.8 billion June trade deficit, fueling concerns over a dollar outflow and prompting talk of policy action to stabilize the greenback.

Mier Tried To Cover Up Charges Says Committee
The Military Affairs Committee in Harrisburg charges former Adj. Gen. Harry Mier attempted to squelch misconduct claims raised by Capt. Kay S. Henery. The interim report cites a whitewash in-house investigation and withheld information and notes Mier resigned in March. Hearings will continue on charges by Capt. Edward Bollen, including use of federal trailers for parties and clothing sales at Fort Indiantown Gap. The panel faults record-keeping and says Col. Hugh S. Niles should be relieved. Gov. Shapp is not implicated. Adj. Gen. Nicholas Kafialas will study the report and respond.
