The plane, carrying 44 passengers and 4 crew, attempted to fly to Lima before returning to Aruba due to propeller lubrication problems as Colombia rejects the demands.

Kentucky Coalmen Say Severance Tax Could Be Beneficial
FRANKFORT Ky AP The Kentucky Coal Association president argues a flat 4 percent severance tax would aid operators when coal prices fall. He notes a 30 cent per ton minimum acts as a penalty, and when coal sells below 7.50 a ton the rate can reach 6 percent. He also cites rising workers compensation costs as relief needs and questions any 1974 session push to repeal or overhaul the tax. West Virginia’s 3.5 percent effective rate with no minimum is cited as a comparator.
