Ford attentive to campaign progress despite calls for change
President Ford receives a weekly written state of the campaign report and says he is pleased with the organization and Callaway's leadership. Critics, including some at the White House, argue for faster measures to build state operations for early primaries and to prepare for Ronald Reagan’s challenge. Lee Nunn resigned, urging immediate spending on organization, while Callaway defends a cautious pace with about 707000 dollars raised and 425000 on hand as of September 30.

Arkansas has 67 structurally deficient interstates bridges
A federal GAO report shows Arkansas has 67 structurally deficient bridges in the interstate system, more than any state. Arkansas Highway Dept chief engineer Billy K. Cooper says the term does not mean imminent collapse but aging with deterioration and deck cracking from de-icing chemicals. Most vulnerable spans are I-30 between Little Rock and Benton and I-55 from the Tennessee line to U.S. 63 in Crittenden County, built in the early 1950s. Cooper notes lower early design standards and that 90 percent federal financing is funding upgrades to bring sections up to current interstate standards.
