Newport Road Gets Millions is Highway Bond Issue OK'd
Governor Roberts urged voters to approve a $20,000,000 highway bond plan to finance a East Providence Newport Network costing 9,500,000. The project would run along the shore from East Providence to Newport and connect with the Mount Hope Bridge, with support from the Automobile Club of Rhode Island. The plan promises economic growth and new construction, while stressing the need to address an aging, under capacity highway system. The Rhode Island League of Women Voters has not taken a stand on a constitutional convention.

Ford Offers Semi Annual Wage Plan
Ford negotiators in Detroit debated a partial guaranteed annual wage plan with the CIO UAW. Ford reportedly accepts a concept that workers receive income while laid off, but only for 26 weeks, not 52. The plan would start with four weeks at 60 percent and then 22 weeks at 60 percent take-home pay, short of the union’s 80 percent goal. A walkout at Ford could occur after midnight Sunday, while GM’s talks proceed under a separate timetable. Details leaked as talks continued under a news blackout.
