Pa. Administration boxed in over liquor monopoly plan
Harrisburg AP reports a labor contract clause guarantees 3,000 nonmanagerial state store workers will remain on payroll through June 30, 1975 even if Pennsylvania's retail liquor operation is privatized. The clause binds transfer buyers who would take on the contract, raising court questions. Labor leader Wendell Young opposes guaranteeing such obligations under free enterprise. The state plans to auction 750 stores to private bidders, with licenses and leases included, while wholesale operations may remain.

Philadelphia mayor faces split views amid boom claims
Philadelphia is seen as both thriving and troubled amid Mayor Frank Rizzo's contentious tenure. Supporters cite a 53 percent rise in new business and 8,000 jobs from 38 firms in 18 months, plus center city hotel projects for Bicentennial plans. Critics including Lipson, Ross, and Camiel accuse Rizzo of fostering tension, cabinet clashes, and a damaged business climate, while Rizzo says he fights a powerful system and maintains city support.
