Ohio Turnpike Commission favors a second turnpike with no Toledo spur to reduce cost from 516 million to about 200 million dollars. The plan would convert 45 miles of free state roads to toll status while upgrading other routes to meet turnpike standards. Commission Chair James Shocknessy says the Toledo area will be served by existing highway upgrades and future Cincinnati to Dayton toll road work.

Budget Defended by AF Chief on Defense Spending
Air Force Secretary Donald A. Quarles defended the new U S defense budget saying it is not a retreating budget and provides the means to do a sound job. He arrived for a two week tour of Far East Air Force bases and noted no general admiral or service secretary should be fully satisfied with funds. He dismissed Soviet claims of a 10 percent cut as not seriously affecting U S plans and said the Air Force has the quality to meet Red China's air buildup, which he described as stronger than last year.
