Virginia Officials Oppose Federal Driver Reexamination
Richmond AP Officials from the Highway Safety Division and the Division of Motor Vehicles travel to Washington to oppose a federal rule forcing every Virginia driver to take a written reexamination every four years. Director John T. Hanna cites higher costs and questionable benefits, noting Virginia’s lower death rate than some states with reexams. He estimates the first three years’ costs at 334000, 648000, and 780000 dollars respectively, urging allocation to alcohol countermeasures. The Motor Vehicles commissioner already holds broad power to require reexams for violators or accident cases.

Quota End Would Shock North Carolina Economy
North Carolina economist Dr. Charles R. Pugh warns that ending flue-cured tobacco quotas could shock the state economy and threaten farm incomes across the Southeast. The USDA proposal to terminate quotas in 1974 lacks detail and timing, jeopardizing credit, farm planning, and price support while potentially expanding production and shifting geographic growing areas.
