Topeka Officials Activate Part of Police Plan
Topeka city commissioners moved ahead with part of a model police department overhaul drawn by a civic group, approving a 7 percent police pay raise and a 5 percent raise for other city workers. They also approved adding 15 officers to the force to reduce pay disparities with firefighters. Captain W H McCarter of the Firefighters Union warned of drastic action if broad raises favored police. Mayor Charles Wright said the move closes the pay gap between police and fire salaries.

Pentagon weighs iron substitute to save copper in Vietnam shells
The Pentagon says replacing copper in large artillery shells with iron could cut costs and reduce copper use. Between 1966 and last May U S forces fired about 150 million rounds of 90mm and 155mm shells, using roughly 300 million pounds of copper. Current copper price is about 38 cents per pound, two cents higher than last year, potentially saving about 384000 dollars annually if substitution is adopted. The General Services Administration notes no copper shortage.
