The Guardian Angels, led by Curtis Sliwa, travel from New York City to recruit a Philadelphia unit to patrol subways and high crime areas. They claim 128 arrests and insist on nonlethal deterrence while detaining suspects until police arrive, a method supporters call prudent but critics fear vigilante excess.
A 55 hour Savannah Georgia to Philadelphia run by the steamship City of Savannah built at Roach's Shipyard in Chester is hailed as very fast. The column also surveys local notes including gossip about U S Grant, a 50 acre farm near Bryn Mawr, a matrimonial ad, a barber leaving Chester for Wilmington, and local assessor hopes as times stay tight.
Almanac recalls March 11 1981 as the 70th day of the year with 295 to follow and lists historical events including a 1888 fatal snow storm in New York City, Taft burial at Arlington in 1980, Hawaii's 1959 Senate approval as a state, and the Hanafi hostage case ending with hostages released.
A Vancouver report outlines Technocracy Inc. proposals for a single sovereign North America from Arctic to Amazon. It envisions a unified state with no borders, 400 million people, shared wealth, elimination of money, and workers limited to 20 years of work. Founded in 1919 by Howard Scott, the idea gained a period of rapid growth before waning.
Tom Tiede profiles Technocracy Inc, once promising a wealth reallocation and communal ownership, now a dwindling movement. The Savannah headquarters, Vancouver branch, and Seattle and Long Beach cells keep education and analysis papers alive, while director Darvill warns of looming catastrophe and urges unity under technocratic rule.
Roberto D'Aubisson reappears stirring El Salvador's civil war dynamic. He hints the Reagan administration backs a right wing military takeover, while the junta's president cancels a Westany trip. D'Aubisson, once masked in law, remains a wary extremist linked to death squads and funded from Miami supporters.
Don Graff, a reactionary columnist, campaigns against El Salvador's center left and faces arrest for alleged plots against Duarte's junta. His presence in Washington highlights Capitol Hill influence as Haig disavows D'Aubisson while warning of serious consequences for the Salvadoran aid program.
A reader from Delaware argues the Archdiocese of Philadelphia shortchanges Notre Dame High and local parochial schools by transporting pupils from areas like Wilmington and nearby districts.
