Governor withdraws tourism consolidation bill after talks
Gov George Wallace pulled administration support from a bill by Sen Bob Harris to merge the Alabama Department of Publicity and Information into the Alabama Development Office. Wallace said the measure went beyond his intent after a meeting with about 15 tourism leaders led by Warren Moseley of the Alabama Travel Council. The bill remains dormant unless reintroduced by other senators as the Legislature nears adjournment.

Escort Set For Robins In New Brunswick Fields
Migrating robins will be escorted by police through blueberry fields in New Brunswick Canada to protect them from gunfire. Farmers had blamed robins for pest-related damage after a pesticide shift, but authorities refused robin shooting permits this year. Mounties will monitor the fields for the rest of the month to prevent harm to the birds.
