Alternate San Diego Route Studied by Assemblymen
Orange County officials and Newport Beach leaders urged an alternate highway linking Long Beach to San Diego and a high level bridge or tunnel across upper Newport Bay during a Newport Beach conference with the Assembly interim committee on highways. Proposals discussed northern and southern alignments, with a possible long coastal corridor from Long Beach to San Clemente, and a Bay crossing to expand harbor capacity for 1600 current boats and more moorage for 2000 to 3500 vessels.

Coast Guard Hears Faint SOS From Distant Vessel
Long Beach Coast Guard headquarters reported hearing a faint intermittent ship radio emergency call early today. The call, heard since about 1:39 a.m., was not strong enough to identify the ship or its position.
