Radar Approval Denied by Massachusetts Panel
A Massachusetts Assembly committee rejected a radar use bill for Highway Patrol speed enforcement, noting no legal barrier to radar but delaying funding without explicit authority. CHP Inspector Jacobs testified radar would aid safety, while opponents argued it reduces car patrol effectiveness and increases risk. Separate items reported Kennedy backing by Massachusetts Democrat leader Lester Hyman on a personal basis, delaying official stance until after the April 30 primary, with Kennedy seen as best to rally the nation in crisis. The piece also covers campaign dynamics around New York delegates and the New Hampshire results shaping the Democratic race.
