In negotiations on a county management contract, a plan to lower the minimum retirement age from 55 to 50 is under discussion. The Board of Retirement has endorsed the concept, but management aims to use it as a bargaining chip. A no cost argument is raised by employee leaders, while officials say any change hinges on a full benefits package agreement.

Supervisors seek Nixon support to block gas curtailment
Los Angeles County supervisors and Orange County board of supervisors urge President Nixon and California lawmakers to oppose El Paso Natural Gas Co. plans to cut deliveries. A full curtailment could force power plants to burn high sulfur fuel oil, raising sulfur dioxide and particulates and worsening smog. Gas supplies constitute about 70 percent of the county fuel mix, with Alaska and Indonesian fuel oil making up the rest.
