Verdict months away in Hyden mine suit
A multi million dollar suit against the federal government over the 1970 Hyden Kentucky Hurricane mine explosions ended Thursday without a verdict. Judge H David Hermansdorfer signaled the case unlikely to yield a ruling before early fall. The plaintiffs claim a breach of duty by inspectors under the 1969 Coal Mine Health and Safety Act, while the government argued for dismissal or a judgment. The trial centered on who bears responsibility for mine safety and the insurer’s role in inspections.

Senate Delays Auto Emission Standards Amid Compromise
The Senate approved a two year postponement of tougher auto emission standards, rejecting a longer delay. The plan delays 1980 model year nitrogen oxide limits to 1980 and requires 10 percent of each maker’s cars to meet tighter standards by 1979, with AMC granted until 1982 to comply. A House-Senate conference will reconcile with the House bill.
