Paddy's Day plans shine from Tokyo to Indiana

A San Francisco businessman capitalizes on St Patrick's Day with plans to ship a two pound Blarney Stone fragment to Tokyo for a Paddy's bash at the Foreign Correspondents Club. The rock will be insured for 175000 dollars. The piece traces to 1948 from an Irish cousin. A Tokyo bank branch manager had promised to display the rock, but the piece remains off display. A New Albany couple backs a green hens memory, claiming a New Hampshire Red chicken lays eggs as green as the season. Various notes in the column mix jokes about efficiency, women's rights, and a British cookery claim, with a Braille copy of the British Highways Code cited.

Split Committee Report Raps Favoritism in State Insurance

SACRAMENTO A subcommittee report accuses the Olson administration of political favoritism in state insurance with two Republicans issuing a minority report. The majority says the Department of Finance acted to obtain insurance at low cost, while the minority cites political pur pose and dismisses evidence of favoritism. The split follows an investigation into $40,000 yearly commissions paid on state insurance across 25 years. The report recommends reform bills to prevent officials from collecting commissions and to change state insurance buying practices. The City Council moved to a May 14 voter approval on fluoridation and related measures.
