Poverty price tag set by Congress
WASHINGTON—(UPI) President Johnson, today was assured of authority to spend $1.75 billion on the war on poverty but there is going to be a good deal of House-Senate bargaining on just how he can spend it.
The price tag on the antipoverty authorization bill is just what the President requested. The Senate trimmed its $2.5 billion version back to his spending levels yesterday before approving the measure on a 49-20 vote.
The Senate total also jibed with what the House voted last week. But, though the money was the same, the two versions of the bill differed as to programs and authorizations, and both were different from the administration's original recommendations.
A House-Senate conference now must settle the numerous differences over the scope of specific antipoverty programs.
OKay given for merger of railroads
NEW YORK — (UPI)— The Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads are free to merge into the nation's biggest line Nov. 1, provided the U.S. Supreme Court does not intervene.
The merger would create a rail system with 42,000 miles of track in 14 states and Canada employing approximately 110,000 persons.
The merger would include the bankrupt New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads used by 70,000 commuters pouring into New York City daily.
Find beach 'potted' by narcotics-runners
MALIBU, Calif. — (UPI)—Narcotics-runners dumped more than a thousand pounds of uncut marijuana—valued at an estimated half million dollars—on a quiet beach during the night then sped to sea when they were seen.
Two suspects were taken into custody at the rendezvous point at Paradise Cove by sheriff's deputies.
U. S. Customs agents and Coast Guardsmen took up the search for the fleeing fishing boat that apparently had worked its way up
the California coast from Mexico the day before.
A short time later the boat was captured some 30 miles down the coastline of Los Angeles county and the crew taken into custody.
Sheriff's deputies said the accidental sighting of the landing was made by a fish and game commissioner who was making a routine check of the beach area for the opening of the lobster season.
The marijuana supply—measured at 600 kilos—was listed by deputies as one of the largest taken by their department.
Youths trick town council
PLOMODIERN, France—(UPI) “Aw, rats” was the reaction of the town council today to its scheme to cut down on the number of rats in the community.
The council offered last month to give a free seat at the movies to any child who showed up with the tail of a rat he'd killed
The council discovered the children had been breeding rats to keep up the supply.
Swell idea, it seemed, until it became apparent the movies were jammed with kids every day and the rats had apparently multiplied.
Yugoslavs disappear at beer fete
MUNICH—(UPI)—Thirty Yugoslavs, their pockets jingling with hundreds of dollars in Western money, had been sent over the border to purchase Western food for their countrymen.
THEY QUICKLY blew all of Marshall Tito's food money.
The Yugoslavs abandoned their shopping and made haste for the nearest beer tent.
The food show was just a few barrels away from the famed Oktoberfest, Munich's freeswinging beer festival.
