Mayaguez incident seen as new day for America says governor
Gov. James B. Longley of Maine calls the Mayaguez episode a turning point for U S foreign policy citing deliberate restraint and aid to neighbors. Sen. Muskie commends Ford's handling, noting diplomacy first before force as Marines recovered the ship and crew off Cambodia. Coast Guard reports futile attempts to locate fishermen linked to a missing private plane near Boothbay Harbor. EPA fines issued to Maine Central Railroad Co and another firm for 10 000 gallons of oil spilled into Lake Messalonskee after a fall derailment.

Maine Tun a Fishermen Challenge NOAA At Hearin g
Maine tuna fishermen from Orrs Island to Ogunquit travel to Boston for an NOAA hearing at the Massachusetts State House to oppose a proposed federal catch limit of 1,300 bluefin tuna per year and harpoon restrictions. They argue NOAA uses flawed data, allege undercounting Maine landings, accuse the agency of back door regulation, and call for accurate landings and open competition before any rule. They note tuna as a part time but lucrative Boston market business and question Europe’s lack of conservation efforts.

Castellucci Sole Owner Named Beneficiary in Pownall Case
Portland AP report: Joseph A. Castellucci, under cross examination in the Schwartz Congo murder trial, said he was the sole owner of Planet 3 Films Ltd and sole beneficiary of a $400,000 life insurance policy on slain director Jon Pownall, taken 10 days before his Aug 30, 1973 death. The state charges Herbert Schwartz hired Truman Dongo to kill Pownall to cash the policy. Castellucci acknowledged financial troubles at the time and the defense suggests Castellucci committed the murder after Schwartz claimed to arrange it.

Abortion Law Repeal Opposed By MRLC
About 20 members of the Maine Right to Life Committee testified against repeal of Maine's abortion law at a Judiciary Committee hearing. They argued the invalid statute could be revived if the U S Supreme Court or a constitutional amendment changes rights. Proponents say the Maine Criminal Code will repeal the statute, leaving it no longer in effect.
