After a long search to find a place to relocate the Cambridge transit facilities, MBTA officials settled on a 15-acre site in Dorchester near Codman Sq. The relocation was intended to be only temporary, and plans provided that an unsightly car-washing machine be well hidden...

The marijuana that grows in Nebraska, mostly along roadsides, creeks, hedgerows and railroad tracks, is virtually worthless as a narcotic.

South Carolina's Democratic Senator Ernest Rollings meanwhile got 68 Senate cosponsors for a bill that would reduce imports of textiles from 2.7 billion sq. yds. a year to 1.7 billion sq. yds. In all, the seven bills would lower imports on a range of products including beef, mutton, veal, mink skins, zinc, footwear, oil, watches and dairy products.
