Capital: Airlines
The United States will announce shortly that armed troops and security guards will ride shotgun on U.S. overseas commercial airline flights to protect them from hijackers. Airline sources said the announcement could be delayed until hostages aboard three airlines commanded by Jordan by Arab guerrillas were released. The solution to the week's wave of international air piracy emerged from a series of meetings between federal officials and representatives of the airlines and pilots.
Chile: Bank Run
SANTIAGO—Heavy bank withdrawals set off by Chile's election of the Western world's first Marxist president raised the possibility Thursday of a currency crisis in the country. The national mint was ordered to turn out $10 million worth of escudos in a hurry to meet the Friday payday of private firms. The bank run apparently had ended Thursday, but there was official concern over the fact that the heavy withdrawals had not returned as deposits.
Capital: Law Repeal
The Justice Department Thursday urged repeal of a 20-year-old law permitting roundup of subversives in national emergencies to quell fears among some dissidents that the government plans to operate concentration camps. J. Walter Yeagley, an assistant Attorney General, told the House Internal Security Committee that the preventive detention section of the 1950 Internal Security Act could never legally be used against dissenters. The law provides that in case of an invasion of U.S. territory or possessions, or a declaration of war by Congress, or an "insurrection within the United States in aid of a foreign enemy," the President could invoke the detention provision.
New Orleans: Hurricane
Hurricane Ella swirled from a tropical disturbance Thursday into a major storm with 75 mile an hour winds and moved toward the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. The U.S. Weather Bureau said Ella was expected to move toward the northwest at about 12 miles an hour tonight and increase in size and strength. Small craft were warned not to venture into the open Gulf south of Louisiana and Texas.
Capital: Anti-Pollution
The AFL-CIO will team with industry groups to oppose President Nixon's planned anti-pollution tax on lead in gasoline. A spokesman for the nation's biggest labor group said the federation would tell the House Ways and Means Committee next week that the AFL-CIO believed the tax route is the wrong way to fight pollution. The combination labor-management opposition could create a virtually insurmountable obstacle in Congress for administration supporters of the tax designed to combat smog.
Capital: Agnew and Muskie
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, two of the biggest draws on the political circuit, today launched nationwide campaigns on behalf of Republican and Democratic candidates. Agnew opened with an ambitious week-long, six-state swing which takes him into the West, Middle West and Southwest. Muskie started with a one-shot foray into Pennsylvania to be followed by a cross-country pet tour that, in some places, will have him dogging Agnew's footsteps.
Los Angeles: Manson
SAN DIEGO—The total number of Americans who have kicked the cigarette habit has risen 10 million since 1966, says Dr. Daniel Horn, director of the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health. Horn said he based his statistics on a survey involving interviews with a 5,000-person sample of the population. The total number of smokers also decreased—from 49.4 million to 44.9 million—during the period, even though the population grew by an estimated 7.5 million, according to Horn.
California: Habit Kickers
A former "Manson family" member who contends he saw Charles Manson carrying a gun later used in the Tate-LaBianca slavings was expected to testify today in the murder trial. Michael Hendricks, 18, has been ruled competent to testify although he is presently undergoing psychiatric evaluation at a state mental hospital. Hendricks claims he saw Manson, accused mastermind of the seven killings in August, 1969, carrying a long-barrelled .22 caliber revolver, identified by state witness Linda Kasabian as one used at the residence of actress Sharon Tate.
At least 23 American prisoners of war thought to have been killed in the atomic blast at Hiroshima may soon be identified, according to sources at the U.S. Archives. The sources declined to say how many Americans were killed when the first atomic bomb was dropped Aug. 6, 1945. However, a former officer with the Japanese Secret Police said in July he was in charge of 23 American prisoners, including at least one woman.
