Auto Makers Shortchange Dealers on Warranty Repairs
Washington AP A spokesman for auto dealers says big car makers underpay for warranty repair work and dealers must offset losses with other revenue. Warren J. McEleney of the National Automobile Association testifies before a Senate antitrust subcommittee that the 1962 extended warranty drives losses. He notes dealers in Clinton Iowa face reduced reimbursements and limited profit margins. Other testimony from William W. Winpisinger supports concerns that factory pricing harms mechanics and violates labor policies and antitrust aims.

Pilot Killed As Snow Squall Whips Plane At Sugar Grove
A Russell Pa. pilot, Donald Van Ormond, 85, was killed when a light plane taking off near the New York state line ran into high winds and struck Niagara Mohawk power lines before crashing onto a pasture landing strip on Theodore Wilson’s property. The crash occurred during a snow squall just after 8 am. Rescue crews worked at the scene as the sheriff’s office and FAA prepared to take over the investigation. Van Ormond, an Air Force veteran and longtime local flyer, had flown into Lawrence Airport frequently and left behind a family that had already endured a similar tragedy two years earlier with another son’s hunting accident.
