21st Century rosy outlook for Social Security funds
The trustees told Congress the Social Security retirement and disability trust funds stay solvent until at least 2010 due to higher payroll taxes approved last December. The Hospital Insurance Trust Fund may fail by 1990, a slight improvement from 1988 projections, prompting calls to strengthen long-term financing. The trustees urge delaying tax changes until the advisory council reports in October 1979, while Part B Medicare funding relies on general revenues and retiree premiums.

Deadly Tennessee hotel fire leaves seven dead
A fire at a three story residential hotel in Jellico, Tennessee, killed at least seven people and injured eleven. A mother tossed her infant to safety from a third floor window before leaping to escape. Fire crews combed bricks for additional victims as a temporary morgue was set up. Authorities noted four more bodies might be found in the debris and named several identified victims, with ages and details remaining undetermined for many. The cause was not known.
