Autobahns Struggle With Crowded Growth In West Germany
West Germany once boasted a premier autobahn system but is now crowded and underdeveloped amid rapid economic growth. Traffic jams stretch up to 20 miles as motorists rely on police helicopter spotters and long stretches see up to 70,000 daily vehicles. Authorities aim to 3,000 miles by 1970, yet automakers warn this fails to meet future needs.

Coordinating Committee Office Move Draws Attention
Madison reports the Coordinating Committee for Higher Education will relocate from the Wisconsin Center to the state capitol. Critics say the move could affect perceived partiality and staff ties to the university, while supporters point to timing with a Stevens Point pollution study lab and Gov Knowles planned 1966 policy push. Political figures like David Carley and Lucey are noted in ongoing gubernatorial speculation.
