Downtown Park Plaza plan sparks council clash in Oshkosh
Oshkosh businessman Sidney Hirschberg told the Common Council that downtown appears “written off” due to Park Plaza and warned of land condemnation to widen streets along Division Commerce and Pearl. He criticized the Crane Building move to a 70 space lot and urged more off street parking. The council advanced Marion Road paving with a $135,000 estimate, while a broader traffic plan for Park Plaza was postponed.

Ethics Panel Faces Slow Decision On Long Case
Washington AP The six member Senate Ethics Committee grapples with evidence to clear or condemn Sen Edward Long as it plans another session next week. Sources say the material is inconclusive while Long eyes reelection in 1968 amid a Missouri primary challenge from Lt Gov Eagleton. The inquiry traces a Life magazine charge that Long used a subcommittee inquiry to aid Hoffa defense, with Long admitting payments from attorney Morris Shenker for legal work, not Teamsters directly. The panel, led by John Stennis, says investigation is ongoing and harder than the Dodd case, which had ready background from Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson.
