No Joy Over Staunton Prison Site Move
Staunton council members express concern over plans to house up to 300 inmates at the old Western State Hospital site. Mayor Pancake favors a public hearing while noting limited power to block the transfer. Corrections director Davis says interdepartmental move, with Gov Godwin confirming, could bring 100 staff and cost about 500000 in initial years.

Harrington Denied Seat on New House Committee
In Washington the House created a 13 member replacement for its deadlocked intelligence panel and rejected a bid to seat Rep. Michael Harrington of Massachusetts. Speaker Carl Albert named Otis Pike chairman with five other Democrats and Republicans as members. Harrington was excluded amid charges of politically punitive actions over his disclosure of CIA testimony on Chile. The panel will investigate U S intelligence agencies and report recommendations to the full House by January 31.
