Jumbo jets to flood London as 1970s counts rise
Observers warn chaos when 15 jumbo jets land daily in London starting 1970. By 1975 the figure may reach 20 per hour. London rushes a $30 million No 3 terminal extension with a 900 foot moving pavement to load seven jumbos at once, but sites for a third airport remain unsettled amid protests and political delay.

London Airport faces jumbo jet cargo strain and delays
A New York Times style note warns that ground crews and customs delays, not aircraft, limit payloads for future supersonic and jumbo jets. A London Airport luggage backlog after a conveyor breakdown shows the strain, with thousands of suitcases moved by staff. About 200 bags go astray weekly, tripling if jumbo flights operate. London must modernize in three years or risk airline bypass.

Petition drive seeks move of Green Beret trials
National Green Beret Refuge Committee led by William Crews McCulloch aims to collect 500000 signatures to urge Army Secretary Stanley Resor to relocate the six Green Beret soldiers’ trials from Vietnam to Washington. McCulloch argues a Washington venue could help exonerate the defendants as officials rejected a U S move to the United States. The group plans fundraising for civilian salaries and may expand campaigning to Boston and Baltimore while seeking meetings with Resor in Washington.
