Highway Wins 1 Loses Another One
The Arkansas Supreme Court reversed two lower court wins in highway condemnation disputes. In Washington County a jury award of 5000 for a 15 foot strip tied to a service station was reviewed after peremptory challenges. The court allowed three peremptory challenges for the defendant. In Pulaski County, Johnnie A Myers was awarded 6250 for half of two acres seized for a state project. the court said the lower court erred by forcing testimony on full property value and misapplied fair market value, affirming a prior verdict and reversing the 16500 figure used for entire property. The decision also endorsed a Woolworths verdict in a fall injury case.

Hopeful Auto Strike Won't Be Big Jolt
New York AP reports economists see the auto strikes as a jolt not a major shock to the economy. October data show declines in durable goods orders and factory shipments driven by the General Motors shutdown, while Ford’s walkouts lagged and local plant closures cut production. GM and Chrysler aimed to peak output, but GM’s idle plants and Ford’s local disputes reduced early November sales and payrolls.

Budget figures show 1963-64 revenue 126.75 million with 137.24 million projected this year.
