It urges focus on improving air, bus, and interurban connections, and criticizes Southern Pacific for inadequate service. It cites a 1958 PUC shuttle proposal and outlines two priorities: a well located transit terminal and expanded air links.

Monstrous to Play for a Living in Sports

He cites the Bobby Layne trade as evidence of a cruel business where sentiment vanishes and competition becomes a sale to the public.

Explosion May Release Cheap Oil and Gas
Nuclear and oil experts suggested that a major explosion in shale mountains could liberate petroleum and gas at a fraction of present costs. They estimate nearly a trillion barrels of oil and vast quantities of gas lie locked in shale across Colorado Utah and Wyoming. Mining and processing costs currently make extraction prohibitive.

Big Ariosia St bridge project linked to traffic relief
Two decades ago workers removed forms from sections of the new Ariosia Street bridge, a project costing over 700000 dollars, intended to ease North Long Beach cross-town congestion as construction neared completion. A revived plan to move city assessor and tax collector functions to Los Angeles County on a contract was urged in a letter from six taxpayer groups, seeking a city attorney's opinion. Seal Beach consideration of annexation to Long Beach while staying in Orange County drew mixed resident support amid opposition from some large interests, and a city hall election was seen as a potential disruption by civic leaders.
