State Budget Hikes Beyond All Reason
The New Hampshire Taxpayers Federation labels the biennial state agency requests at eight million dollars above the prior two years as beyond all reason. Barry T. Mines cites a 27 percent rise with 3 percent salary hikes, insisting increases cover existing services only and no new projects. He warns that education and welfare requests could push totals near 80 percent, urging cuts to frills such as a 9x12 rug for two hundred dollars and electric typewriters for nearly five hundred dollars.

Carpenters End Two Day Walkout At Air Base Firm
A two day jurisdictional walkout by 150 union carpenters at the Arthur Venneri Co. Portsmouth Air Base ended with all carpenters back on the job. The dispute arose over insulating board installation by iron workers and was resolved when workers agreed to relinquish the work. Negotiations involved Local 474 of the Iron Workers and the Carpenters and Joiners union. The stoppage affected only the Venneri firm and did not halt other base projects. It may delay schedules for about a week until impact becomes clear.

Dr Stephen Sheppard Defends Case in Murder Trial
Dr Stephen Sheppard testified that Marilyn Sheppard’s house doors were not always locked unless the defendant and his wife were leaving town. He cited concussion effects on memory and said memory can be unclear for at least 24 hours, describing how he treats concussion victims in his medical practice. He also stated he never allowed others to question concussion patients until the second day after waking, to preserve accuracy. The defense aims to show a marauder could have entered the Bay Village home the night of the murder and that the defendant was questioned while memory was impaired. The state accuses Dr Samuel Sheppard of beating his wife Marilyn to death on July 4.
