Editorial: Recognition for Finney County redistricting
The Finney County Board of Commissioners deserves recognition for redistricting into three districts of equal population. The editors argue that timing avoids unfairness to potential candidates and note prior election hints at the need for redistricting. They suggest the city consider abandoning the ward system in favor of precinct voting to simplify elections.

Ford's British Stock Buy-Back Sparks Dollar Drain Debate
The Eisenhower administration, though denying direct interference, pressed Ford to rethink its plan to buy the remaining 35% stake in its British subsidiary. Treasury Secretary Anderson warned the dollar deficit could hit 4 billion by year end and U.S. gold reserves fall below 18 billion, while Ford said the deal would proceed, citing insufficient sterling funds. The administration planned to bring 145,988 wives and children home over 19 months, costing about 300 million dollars yearly, a sum smaller than Ford’s planned 363 million dollar transfer abroad. The move risks breaking up 50,000 families and drawing protests from service members and their spouses.
