The plan seeks a National Development Bank, tax credits for hiring the hard-core unemployed, and loan guarantees plus subsidies to revive urban neighborhoods and revamp 40 existing programs. It aims to cost no new money by reallocating funds and includes health clinics, home rehabilitation loans, social services, day care, meals on wheels, and neighborhood volunteer programs.

Miners Return to Pits After 30 Month Strike
Most of the nation’s soft coal miners put on hard hats and returned to the pits for the midnight and 8 a.m. shifts, the first time in 30 months. About 160,000 United Mine Workers members ended the strike, but several mines stayed closed. Construction workers sought a separate agreement as picket lines formed in several states. Negotiations between miners and operators paused briefly before resuming in Washington. Absenteeism dropped sharply, with high turnout at Westmoreland and U S Steel mines, though some Helvetia coal and other mines did not reopen. In Homer City, miners protested at Helvetia Lucerne No. 6 gate over lost pay and the return bonus.
