He testified to a House subcommittee that a 310-issue year newspaper would see subscription prices rise by 4.96 dollars per year due to per piece surcharges, and total mailing costs for a 36-page issue would reach about 5.5 to 6 cents per copy, risking rural reader access.

Four N. C. Men Arrested On Securities Theft Plot
Four North Carolina men faced conspiracy charges after an Eastern Air Lines Flight 93 carrying $3 million in securities and a man in a box as cargo became the target of a planned theft. Grant Clyde Crailey of High Point and two Greensboro men, Benjamin Ray Anthony and Jerry Lee Baker, were arrested, with Henry David Sykes taken into custody in Greensboro. The FBI said Crailey tried to break from his crate to access the securities during the 45 minute flight from Greensboro to Atlanta, but could not.
