AIDC Seeks Ones That Got Away Lessons From Arkansas Efforts
William B. Rock of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission discusses the "ones that got away" in attracting industry to Arkansas. He cites 168 firms entering or expanding in the state with about 17,000 new jobs and $41 million payroll, while other firms considered Arkansas but moved elsewhere due to gaps in education and transportation. Moves to remedy include university branch plans at Little Rock and Fayetteville, expanded airline schedules, and a proposed $300,000 upgrade for advanced studies with $400,000 annual upkeep.

Fleeman to Lead Faubus Tax Bills in Arkansas House
Gov Orval Faubus names Rep E G Fleeman of Mississippi County to steer three tax increase bills through the Arkansas House. A public hearing will be held tonight by the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committees as Bearden in the Senate introduces the measures. Faubus expects Senate passage but doubts House support.
