Beirut Kidnapping Darkens Weekend Civil Conflict
The week of street fighting in Beirut left at least 277 dead and a U S Army colonel, Ernest R Morgan 43 of Petersburg Virginia, reported missing after being abducted near a Palestinian refugee camp authorities said guerrilla groups denied knowledge of the incident. Morgan was en route from a Pakistan meeting to the airport when gunmen pulled him from a taxi witnesses said. His fate remained unknown as Lebanese streets cooled after a new government formed and a cease fire was announced. News from Maine and New York followed including a trucking rate increase and the nations prime lending rate rising to seven percent under ongoing efforts to curb inflation. A separate item described the Emergency Housing Act of 1975 enabling GNMA to back mortgage purchases potentially saving homeowners thousands in interest. A U S Goodyear blimp, the Columbia, was announced to replace the retiring airship at Goodyear’s Houston base.
