Air Force Reorganizes Defense Posts At 18 Bases
The Air Force tightens defense by closing three interceptor bases and a radar station, shrinking six bases, and cutting 4,566 military and 969 civilian jobs by June. Nike-Hercules sites in 15 states also close, saving an estimated 31 million annually. The shift narrows coverage to perimeter regions with northern and coastal emphasis and moves aircraft to National Guard or dispersed satellite bases.

STAR system praised to streamline county crime records
Bernard urged mayors to back the STAR automated records system noting it would cut duplication of fingerprints arrest reports and detection documents across cities. He said immediate access to standardized files would shrink floor space and staff needs while speeding identifications and case resolution. If approved, full implementation could take two years with similar systems already used by federal and regional agencies. The Mayors’ Conference met at Silver Pines Country Club.
