SEPTA deficit rises despite federal aid in Philadelphia area
Philadelphia SEPTA reported a 27 million deficit yesterday after a 307 million federal infusion on Tuesday, with total urban mass transit funds of 84.5 million annually. Officials say about 3 million may aid Trenton, while the rest remains undetermined. Also, three of five two car CTA trains will run on the Norristown line Monday ending bus service after a trolley crash. A tentative UTU pact was reached, pending ratification. Efforts to halt a mausoleum in Arlington Cemetery drew resident opposition in Drexel Hill. Santa will greet children at Heights Christmas party.

Two top members of Arch of Our Saviour in Con n repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment at a deposition in Media. They deny targeting their answers to avoid incriminating questions amid a Philadelphia grand jury probe into Rev. Frederick Drummond and the church. The suit by Charles P. Fawthorp accuses the church of draining a $27,000 loan he made while in the congregation to enrich others, not fund missions.
