Pittsburgh AP State Supreme Court Justice Michael A. Musmanno says he would have an extraordinary opportunity to serve justice by declining a run for the U.S. Senate. He was approached to run on the Constitutional Party ticket against Sen. Joseph Clark and Rep. Richard Schweiker. Musmanno notified party chairman Andrew Watson of his decision just before the withdrawal deadline. A Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the United Steel Workers Hall in Titusville from noon to 545 PM on August 20 to collect blood. Arthur Davis is spending a pawnshop, and a pharmacy also was looted.
