Washington Awarded General of the Armies Rank
President Ford signed a bill retroactively promoting George Washington to General of the Armies of the United States, a rank previously held only by John Pershing. The move, urged by Rep Mario Biaggi, followed earlier House resistance and echoes Washington’s 1776 legacy.

Scavenger buried at Palm Beach dump dies
An 80 year old scavenger Steven Pop Daddy Malfara of Belle Glade died after being buried under eight tons of garbage at a Palm Beach County dump. Bulldozer operator Willie Sharpe said he unintentionally covered the man while dumping loads. Deputies used hoses and rakes to dig through the rotting refuse for three hours, fearing the victim might still be alive.
