North Central Airlines Plans Jet Service by 1967
North Central Airlines aims to operate jet aircraft by spring 1967, with Winnebago County Airport potentially on the early jet route. Captain M H Ellyson reported a plan to phase out DC3 planes by 1987 and begin with a limited number of small jets, possibly DC or Boeing 737, pending Minneapolis announcement. Jet operation requires 6,300 feet runway, prompting a 3,000-foot extension. The county seeks state and federal aid for runway extension, taxiways, lighting, parking aprons, and a west runway extension to handle Convair planes at max load.

Voting Rights Coalition Move Suffers Setback
In the House efforts to back a Republican substitute for the administration voting rights bill faced a setback when Rep. John Lindsay shifted toward the administration measure. Rep. Howard Smith urged Southern colleagues to back the Republican plan, praising its lack of venom and arguing it respects state literacy qualifications and nondiscriminatory voting laws. The dispute centers on federal registrar residency, literacy tests, and the role of federal examiners in Southern states. Lindsay indicated he would oppose the administration bill again on final passage, expected Friday.
