Army calls mass bird extermination a partial success
At Fort Campbell Kentucky defense officials label this week’s mass extermination of millions of blackbirds starlings and grackles a reasonably good success while environmentalists seek a court injunction to halt further spraying. Federal wildlife agents gathered data as nearby weather and chemical use drew concerns over disposal and oversight. Brandenberg of the 101st Airborne said the operation would continue as weather allows, noting the southern roost saw about half a million birds killed.

AMA Sues HEW Over Hospital Admission Rules

HEW rules require a hospital utili zation review committee to review a physician's admission decision within one day.

AMA asks Supreme Court to strike down 70 age retirement rule
The American Medical Association urged the Supreme Court to reject the federal 70-year retirement standard as harmful to individuals and society. It argues age-based dismissal erodes purpose and health, while leaving productive workers idle, and notes Justice Douglas is the only current justice over 70. Weisbrod, a 70-plus official, seeks to preserve employment beyond 70. The case follows a federal panel's dismissal of Weisbrod's suit in DC.
