Bumpers proposes moving state offices to Pine Bluff
Gov. Dale Bumpers tentatively agrees to move the Arkansas Correction Department from Little Rock to Pine Bluff for a trial period to cover remodeling costs funded by a 950000 appropriation. He cites law enabling Capitol renovations for expanded legislative use and notes other agencies would relocate to Pine Bluff. The governor reports February unemployment at its lowest since 1958 for February and since 1969 overall, and says per capita income growth could lift Arkansas from 48nd to 46th. He calls reapportionment of the legislature expensive and undesirable after a recent Supreme Court decision on one man, one vote.

Connally On Brink Of GOP Switch But Watergate Fallout Pauses Move
Former Texas governor John B. Connally seemed ready to switch to the Republican Party last week amid talk of a 1976 presidential bid. He paused as the Watergate break in and White House involvement furor intensified. Connally, Nixon's former treasury secretary, denied timelines and kept focus on his law practice while courting influential Republicans and New York financiers. He met with Herbert Brownell and Gulf & Western's Charles Bluhdorn as speculation swirled.

Senate blocks forced abortions by doctors and hospitals nationwide
The Senate voted 92 to 1 to bar government mandates requiring doctors or private religious hospitals to perform abortions or sterilizations. The measure, added to a bill extending 45 federal health programs for one year, passed 72 to 19 and moves to the House Commerce Committee. The extension challenges President Nixon amid a budget fight, with plans to veto and potentially close several programs within three months.
