Fourth Seacoast Issue May Be Approved
Washington AP reports a broad maritime bill near passage aims to turn the Great Lakes into a fourth major seacoast. The measure targets rebuilding the merchant fleet and includes tax breaks and debt-forgiving features to spur new ships. Officials say it places Great Lakes shipping on par with the other coasts and could attract capital and vessel construction. Sen Mondale and Robert Blackwell remark on tax deferrals and seized interest owed by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp. as boosts to Lakes shipping.

Jordan to recognize only Al Fatah in new government
Jordan's new government said it would recognize only the Palestinian guerrilla group Al Fatah led by Yasir Arafat. Arab truce teams persuaded guerrillas and army troops to stop shooting in Palestinian strongholds in northern Jordan. Maj. Adnan Abu Odeh said the move was not against Palestinians and urged other guerrilla members to join Al Fatah. A reward of 14000 dollars was offered for Dr. George Habash, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In Beirut an Al Fatah spokesman said Ramtha and nearby Irbid were quiet after earlier shelling reports. King Hussein credited Gamal Abdel Nasser with helping end Jordan's civil war cease-fire efforts.
