Soviet Ousts U S Priest From Moscow Church
An American Roman Catholic priest Fr George Bissonnette of Central Falls Rhode Island said farewell at his final Mass before expulsion from the Soviet Union. He was told his passport would be lifted and he must leave by Saturday. The U S protested the move as a violation of the 1933 Roosevelt Litvinov pact. Western observers speculate retaliation for U S refusal to allow a Russian Orthodox visit to the United States.

Kohler Proposes Two Cent Gas Tax Hike for Highways
Gov. Kohler asks lawmakers to raise the state fuel tax by two cents per gallon, bringing gasoline and diesel to six cents total and boosting highway funding by about 20 million dollars annually. He links tax increases to stronger driver licensing and traffic law enforcement and suggests diesel and truck fees be raised. He also backs a higher drivers license renewal fee and a bigger share of highway costs from heavy vehicles. The message follows a previous bid for more state revenue to cover deficits and next biennium needs.
