Embezzler’s final payoff case and other midweek items
Pittsburgh police and FBI questioned Emil Grosglass about a $24,000 embezzlement linked to a blackmail scheme while he had already paid $25,000.

Reports from Buenos Aires, Strasbourg, and Taipei note labor, political, and military tensions, with weather and travel disruptions across Mexico and a $750,000 Russia pay claim for a Navy plane damaged by Soviet jets.
