Nixon Strives For Economic Upsurge Amid Unemployment
Washington AP reports the Nixon administration seeks a broad upsurge to curb unemployment around 6 percent and slow inflation. Despite pledges for a strong 1971, jobless rates hovered near 6 percent with April wholesale prices rising. HUD funds 690,455 for Erie County Fourth Ward renewal, enabling Corry redevelopment including demolition, rehab, and housing. Commerce data show personal income rose 4.5 billion in April, slowing from February, signaling economy not expanding fast enough to hit targets of 4.5 percent unemployment and 3 percent inflation by mid 1972.

Ford Leads House Turn to Restart SST Program
Washington AP reports Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford orchestrated the House revival of the supersonic transport program by drafting the amendment that repurposed an 85.3 million burial fund into restarting the SST. He secured five GOP defections, turning a 201-197 defeat into a 201-197 victory, amid shutdowns and layoffs at Boeing and in Seattle. Rep. Philip Crane, Robert Michel, Tom Railsback, Glenn Davis, and Carleton King switched from no to present, aiding the resurrection effort led by Brock Adams and Tom Pelly.

English Clues Investigated No New Leads

A reported hitchhiker matching English’s description was seen east on Route 6 near Blue Eye Road in Spring but checked out as not him. Investigations of two sightings by city police yielded no leads, and multiple reports have been checked with no results. A state alert was issued following an intensive search in Spring Creek that failed to locate English. He faced larceny charges for gasoline theft in Corry, Erie County Court, Monday.

Court States Sparta Merger Hearing Date
In Erie County court on May 2 Judge Edward H. Carney will hear arguments from Sparta Merged School District and the Corry Area School Jointure on an injunction filed by Sparta area taxpayers. The taxpayers allege the interim operating committee meetings are illegal since the convening occurred after the February 15 deadline set by the State Board of Education. The interim committee continues meetings as the six districts within the proposed merged district prepare for the changeover. An injunction restraining further action was filed by Erie attorney John Wingerter on Tuesday, signed by Spartansburg residents William S S Morton and Donald J Stanbro. The suit, brought by taxpayers, could raise jurisdiction questions and possibly move the hearing to Warren County. Sparta Citizens Committee reports about $1,000 raised for legal fees. Sparta ninth graders plan a car wash and bake sale Saturday to support the fund.
