Last-minute blitz wins heavier truck weight limits
Washington AP The House approved a measure allowing heavier trucks on the Interstate system after a late lobbying push with campaign contributions to 117 members. President Ford signed the bill, boosting gross weight from 73,280 pounds to 80,000 and permitting heavier loads on states’ non-Interstate routes to run on Interstates. Industry spokesmen say higher weights offset slower speeds and fuel costs. TON disclosed seven contributions from $500 to $1.30 while Ohio lawmakers Stanton Brown Regula Latta Ashbrook and Luken received funds.

Westport mayor skips pay raise by trimming women officers
In Westport the mayor opposes equal pay for policewomen and plans to reduce female ranks rather than increase salaries. Five women on the force, led by Nancy Breitsprecher, 38, fear loss of commissions as civillian dispatchers. Budget strain would raise monthly costs by about 1000, while male patrolmen earn up to 700. The town, a fishing resort, has one officer for every 1 residents in winter.
