Midwest States Seek New Role In Lawmaking
The Midwest Conference of the Council of State Governments urged Congress to curb federal mandates and grant states control over land use planning. Delegates, nearly 400 strong, backed revisions to federal acts, a residency definition for legislators, and a migrant worker services survey, as Rep. John Thomas became chair. Next meeting set for July 1974 in Indianapolis.

State Labor Official Faces Poor Job Rating Hearing
Leo J. Phalen, head of Kansas Employment Security Division, faces a second unsatisfactory rating this year for alleged poor performance and questionable conduct. At a six and a half hour appeals session in Topeka, witnesses supported Phalen’s defense while former Wichita officials criticized his leadership and a former subordinate revealed discussions of sexual exploits. The dispute follows prior ratings and a May appeals decision.

Special Maryland Grand Jury Returns
A special Maryland grand jury probing corruption, tied to Vice President Agnew, plans to reconvene after a three week break. U S Attorney Beall refrained from comment while courthouse sources hint at potential indictments. N Dale Anderson, Baltimore County chief executive, faces 39 counts of extortion bribery and conspiracy and will be arraigned Friday. The probe also involves kickbacks by engineers and architects on public contracts. The inquiry, sworn last December, has not yet addressed the Agnew phase, and Attorney General Richardson must decide if there is enough evidence for an indictment and whether a sitting vice president can be indicted.
