West Texans push for super highway through Panhandle region
West Texans urged the Texas highway commission for an interstate from Lubbock through Lamesa Big Spring San Angelo to Junction via U S 87 and 83. The 281 mile route, proposed in 1956, would cost about 455 million dollars. Residents from Amarillo to Brady supported the plan citing relief for San Angelo and expected traffic growth along U S 87.

Used at the Pecos course on East Highway 80, it runs on gasoline at about 90 cents per hour, extending propane tank life and boosting efficiency. Farmers eyeing the system report lower pumping costs.

Carter plan to cut CETA jobs by over half
President Carter's budget plan seeks to reduce the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act program by more than 50 percent, potentially eliminating about 365,000 jobs. The move would anger blacks, labor unions, and liberal Democrats while troubling mayors reliant on federal funds for city staff. The Labor Department and White House staff are opposing the proposal, with no final decision yet.
