Photo Finish Looms In Safeguard Battle In Senate
The Senate faces a late day vote on the Safeguard ABM program as supporters predict a 51 to 49 defeat of a blocking amendment. Key figures Sen. Henry M. Jackson and Sen. John G. Tower weigh in while Sen. Margaret Chase Smith may oppose the Cooper Hart measure. House action adds $2.5 million for Safeguard control quarters in Colorado, complicating the deployment debate.

Rt 739 Shift Called Impractical Costly
State Highway Department rejects returning Apple Pie Ridge Road to its old route across Rt 522 and wiring in a bridge or underpass. Engineering concerns and a $450 000 price tag for three bridges doom the plan. Officials note traffic would rise only to about 1324 vehicles daily by 1987, making the expense unjustified.
