State Chamber Accuses House of Labor Teacher Bloc
The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce charged that the House of Delegates is effectively ruled by a labor and teacher bloc through log rolling. It cites 25 teachers in the past Legislature from an NEA Journal survey across 46 states and notes lopsided votes on state aid bills. The report criticizes teachers for backing an income tax, highlighting House Rule No 49 and alleging private interests without detailing them.

British Station Continues To Get Pioneer Signals
Washington AP British radio telescope at Jodrell Bank picked up Pioneer IV signals as it rose over the horizon at 12 36 a m. The craft was about 380 000 miles away traveling roughly 4 200 mph. NASA technicians estimate Pioneer had reached 408 000 miles by 7 30 am EST on day 80 of its flight from Cape Canaveral. Batteries powering the radio voice were expected to die as Pioneer heads toward a solar orbit. Lovell called the lack of deadly radiation belts after two previous finds a key result and said the date of mans first space trip could be near. He noted the mission also helps chart a radiation-avoiding route.

Children Used To Deliver Dope in East Harlem Ring
Five men were arrested on federal narcotics charges after a six month probe into a ring that used two girls aged 16 and 11 and a 10 year old boy to deliver heroin. The youths, paid pennies, made pocket size deliveries by bus or subway, with 13 ounces of heroin found in an apartment valued at about 300000. The defendants were arraigned before Commissioner Earle N. Bishopp and held on 110000 bail for a March 19 hearing. A new law allows a death penalty for dispensing narcotics to a minor.
