Demos Set Hope On TV Fund Drive
The Democratic telethon mastermind John Y Brown reports a July drive profit near $2 million and a goal to raise about $4 million total with a two hour late September mini telethon. Donations from 360,000 contributors total about $4 million, California and Kentucky led giving, and floods in New York reduced potential gifts. Other notes include debt relief negotiations, credit card pledges, and a budget close to the $1.8 million estimate.

Measuring System Set for Metric Conversion
The Senate passed a bill by voice vote to commit the nation to the metric system. The secretary of Commerce must create a conversion plan within 18 months for pounds and yards to kilos and meters, a task Britain expects to take 10 years. Backers see benefits in jobs, trade, and international ties, but House action remains unlikely this year. The United States is the lone major nation not using the metric system.

Airlines urge passengers to arrive earlier for security checks and to remove metal objects from pockets. They ask for quick ID presentation and minimal hand luggage while unzipping cases near inspectors. ATA notes expected passenger frustration but defends new anti hijack measures for safety and asks for federal coordination as hijack attempts rise to 29 this year.
