Brazil Pays Ransom Demand After U S Envoy Kidnapping
Brazil's military junta faced questions on freeing 15 political prisoners to secure the release of kidnapped U S Ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick. Four gunmen hijacked his limousine, chloroformed him, and fled with him in a station wagon after leaving a ransom note.

Colorado N-Blast Delayed For 24 Hours By Storm
Western Colorado underground nuclear expansion for Project Rulison was postponed again by the weather advisory panel. The AEC rescheduled the blast to Saturday afternoon after a weather briefing and debate. Delays cost private contractors about 31000 dollars daily. Winds and storms in the Colorado River Valley hindered triggering the shot, possibly moving it to Monday. Traffic concerns may push Sunday firing unlikely. The joint project by the U S Atomic Energy Commission and Austral Oil Co. faced court challenges from groups opposing the blast.
