100 Die In Air Crash On Santa Cruz Street
A chartered American cargo jet plowed into a Santa Cruz street crowd during a youth soccer practice killing at least 100 people including three American crewmen. Officials say many victims are children and the disaster is Bolivia’s worst aviation accident. President Banger declared three days of mourning and attended funeral services. The jet, owned by Jet Power Incorporated, had just taken off from the city edge when it failed. Witnesses reported an explosion and a fire in a motor before the crash.

Ambulance Shortage Sparks Cross Station Cover Plan
Canberra ambulance crews operate two per vehicle after midnight to cover shifts, risking stretched coverage if a station loses crews. Despite longer response times in some areas, average arrival to calls remains under nine minutes for 23 incidents. On Monaro Highway two ambulances and the rescue van attended a dual call, leaving two stations short as police assisted, with cooperation between services praised by Superintendent George Harris.

Whitlam outlines selective stimulus and tax tweaks
Mr Whitlam argues the program will barely raise the domestic deficit, mobilize immediate spending, and have no inflationary effects by absorbing existing slack. He envisions selective public works, tax rebates, health levy cuts, and slower government outlays to spur growth while opposing broad price controls.
