One Means Of Relieving City Traffic Congestion
Beckley hopes for downtown relief through a proposed state built two lane road from Valley Drive north to Ewart Avenue skirting New River Park and connecting to Harper Road. The plan, needing state system adoption, would ease uptown traffic and improve access to the park and coal mine. A Chamber push or annexation of Sprague might enable action.

Soviet Dissatisfaction Hidden Behind Propaganda
A private Washington view from a young diplomat challenges Moscow's rosy portrait of life in Communist Russia. He finds Russians, especially those not in official life, grumpy and self-focused, tolerating the regime rather than embracing it. Young college graduates show more flexibility, but caution remains about future loyalty to rigid theory. The piece contrasts grim city life with flashy Soviet propaganda and notes cautious optimism about East-West relations amid uncertainty.

Kennedy plan links higher farm wages to rural development
The migrant labor program backed by President Kennedy proposes a minimum wage for farm workers and expansions in health and education programs. It argues farm incomes must rise, noting average net returns of 85 cents an hour per farm and that many farms barely profit. The plan aims to boost rural industry, housing, and social programs with costs estimated at several million dollars annually.

25 Years Ago From the 1937 Raleigh Register
Illness struck its first blow in West Virginia's flood area as threats of a vast inundation hung over southern communities. Twenty five persons in Parkersburg fell ill with influenza while many of the 25 000 homeless faced disease danger amid the crisis. A young Iranian studying in the United States explains that Iranian intellectuals oppose CENTO, seeing it as U.S. policy instrument, yet they are not simply anti U.S. or pro Communist. The Iranian government ignores free elections and keeps corrupt officials, while promised freedoms have not materialized and opposition is suppressed. Had Mossadegh's policies succeeded land reform might have occurred and the country faced bankruptcy risk. The views reflect a significant segment of Iranian public opinion.
