Pennsylvania weighs truck size law amid interstate routes
A bill introduced by Reps Welsh and Miss in Harrisburg seeks to raise Pennsylvania truck weight limits from 30 000 to 60 000 pounds, aligning with New York and New Jersey. Advocates argue improved highways and tires justify the change, while carriers cite options for breaking loads or routing around the state. The measure proposes new license fees by gross weight and raises axle limits from 18 000 to 22 600 pounds with a 50 fine for overloading.

British Aid Passes House To Senate Action On War Funds
The House approved a large wartime aid package with a final roll call of 336 to 55 after previous votes of 317 to 71 and 260 to 165. The package totals include 1.243 billion for artillery and ordnance, 2.054 billion for warplanes, 362 million for tanks and vehicles, 629 million for ships, 762 million for production plants, and 200 million for servicing equipment for democracies. The President may transfer up to 20 percent between categories but not exceed a 30 percent shift in any one category. President Roosevelt then toured a military station and planned a vacation aboard the Potomac, with a likely Bahamas or Florida-Gulf route, aided by ministers and aides.
