Move Toward Uniformity in County Civil Service Exemption
Mendocino County proposes exempting all appointed department heads from civil service, currently exempting administrator, public works director, hospital administrator, health officer, and planning director. Ten remaining heads would join them, with present heads unaffected. The move aims to standardize recruiting and management procedures across county departments while preserving strict hiring standards, legal review pending.

Merry-go-round McCormack chased by Nixon era probes
The Nixon Administration faced questions over probing 80 year old former Speaker John McCormack who is hospitalized beside his wife Harriet. U S Attorneys questioned him about a Navy hardship discharge for H A Keller Jr and about payments from Michael Silbert while McCormack denied any improper acts. Grand juries in New York and Boston subpoenaed records and questioned close associates, but investigators found no evidence of personal gain by McCormack. The White House denied a criminal probe while officials pursued other leads and Sweig faced possible leniency for cooperation.
