Nixon Administrations Organized Crime Control Act Advances

Supporters say the bill equips authorities to curb organized crime while critics fear civil rights impacts and antiwar lawbreaking concerns. We hope the House will approve the measure.

Make More Money From Mower Side Line
In Arlington Virginia Paul Bove expanded his service shop by repairing power mowers during highway construction in 1964. He assigned two auto mechanics to mower work and kept the profitable sideline after the road project ended. The initiative drew 6000 dollars in 1959 and grew with weekly county ads reaching 10 000 homes. A three month postcard reminder followed and about 200 mowers were serviced. Mower work eventually filled capacity with pickup and delivery integrated into road service.
