Justice Clears Anne Burford
The Justice Department cleared former EPA chief Anne M. Burford and five aides of criminal wrongdoing. A House subcommittee chair criticized the report as politically motivated while directing focus to four remaining EPA officials under investigation, including John M. Hernandez. Rita Lavelle faces separate charges and potential prison time if convicted on five counts. The probe began after multiple EPA officials quit or were fired.

Cabinet Ministers Freed Amid Palestinian Crisis in Lebanon
Druse militiamen shelled Beirut airport and a army post as 14 people were killed and 56 wounded over two days. They freed three cabinet ministers held in the mountains but pressed for PM Shafik Wazzan's resignation and a broader political shift. U S officials studied resettling Palestinian refugees but abandoned the plan as impractical.

Reagan rules out U S troops in Chad despite Libyan advance
President Reagan said the United States will not send combat forces to Chad. France holds primary influence there, with U S aid and limited military transfers already underway. Libyan backed rebels seized Faya Largeau as Chad’s civil war intensifies, possibly triggering a tactical withdrawal by government troops to spare civilians.

Declining Ridership Prompts AeroMech To Seek Subsidy
AeroMech Airlines, based at Bluewell near Mercer County Airport, plans to apply for a federal subsidy on Sept. 1 due to falling passenger totals. The firm operates seven daily flights to Pittsburgh and Greensboro and will bid for government support to cover three flights while denying plans to discontinue service. Officials cited monthly boardings drop from about 2,000 in 1978 to roughly 600 currently, with November 1988 hard deadline for minimal service under the Airline Deregulation Act.

Union Miners Win Right To Monitor McClure Mine
In McClure Virginia the United Mine Workers gain authority to monitor automatic carbon monoxide detectors at McClure No 1 mine and urge members to end a walkout. About half of the 90 night-shift workers report for duty as the mine resumes operations following a fatal June 21 explosion. A federal mediator was to meet with both sides but they chose to proceed without him, with the union to oversee detector monitoring and a designated UMW employee to respond to alarms.
