Cochran Offers Solution to Differences in Bay City Plan
Ashland Cochran, chair of the Bay City Incorporation committee, proposed two fixes to clashes between his plan and the San Lorenzo Village Homes association. He spoke at El Portal Improvement Club and urged the San Lorenzo group to drop Hesperian Gardens from its San Lorenzo incorporation draft, while recommending Washington Manor include Mulford Gardens. Cochran accused two or three unnamed individuals of sabotaging his plan and said his committee is aligned with the Joint Incorporation Study committee representing San Lorenzo Village, Washington Manor and Hesperian Gardens.

Dolwig backs bonds for Bay southern crossing plan
Sacramento assemblyman Richard J. Dolwig of San Mateo says no legal obstacle blocks sale of bonds for the San Francisco Bay southern crossing. He argues the 1953 law supports construction and that revenue pledges from the existing Bay Bridge allow the new span without triggering strict mile limits. Dolwig notes potential legislative action to review cost estimates and rejects DPW bond provisions as binding without new law.

Secy Wilson Plans Further Army Strength Cuts
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson outlined an 18 month plan to reduce army ranks by about one million from last June 30 as civilian reserves rise. The move aims to keep total armed forces just under 3.05 million by next June 30 and shifts emphasis toward a larger reserve program. The Air Force and Navy would stay near current manpower goals, with a six month training course for youths who then enter eight years in the reserves. The shift follows a broader reserve expansion from 750000 to 2500000 men.
