Car Makers To Debate Smog Cards
Sacramento UPI Rep resentatives of the big three auto makers were called before the Assembly Transportation Committee to brief on whether gas turbine, electric or steam powered vehicles offer near term smog relief. The interim committee will develop information on feasible propulsion options as a substitute for present cars to cut air pollutants. Assemblyman John Foray, D San Francisco, chairs the panel preparing new air pollution control legislation for January. Ford Chrysler and General Motors were asked to brief on gas turbine propulsion developments. Dr Seymour Calvert of UC Riverside urged recognizing the statewide air pollution research center as a key instrument to support local agencies in a state wide control program.

Belted brain aids Santa post office sorting
In San Francisco the Post Office opens a 800 foot long memory belt with a built in computer brain to sort mail at Say WPLANWACO MILE. The conveyor directs sacks to 20 points at speeds up to 360 feet per minute. The system uses embedded wires to read coded instructions and can re sort at diversion points for airline gates or local post offices. Similar smaller systems are used in New York City and Memphis with Oregon plans adding helmet and meter maid uses.

Sweetheart Redistricting Plan Reaches Court Approval
Sacramento reports that lawmakers and the Department of Justice sent the sweetheart reapportionment plan to the state Supreme Court for approval after a month of partisan wrangling. Lt. Gov. Robert Finch signed the bill, which changes all but Contra Costa’s district, with incumbency protections for party candidates. Court acceptance is expected if no major legal issues arise before the January 1969 congressional seating.

7th Largest Steel Firm Joins Rush To Hike Prices
J&L Steel, the seventh ranked producer, raised prices on hot rolled and cold rolled and galvanized sheet and strip steel by 5 and 4 dollars per ton respectively. The move follows a White House call for restraint and comes as National Steel, Youngstown Sheet and Tube, and others consider similar increases. Justice Department scrutiny and antitrust concerns over price “lockstep” in the industry were voiced by Sen. Hart and others. Johnson urged voluntary restraint to curb inflation while industry leaders weigh further actions.
