Fog Clearing Test Set Over Los Angeles Airport
Aviation officials plan an $80,000 fog seeding experiment above Los Angeles International Airport to clear heavy fog and avoid flight disruptions. Three small planes from Van Nuys Airport will spray salt detergent and fertilizer chemical to produce light drizzle within about 20 minutes. The project runs 34 months under a contract with E Bollay Associates, with airlines funding 90 percent of costs.

Loan Repaid by Wife of Councilman
A prosecution witness testified he was repaid a $1,000 loan by the wife of Los Angeles City Councilman Thomas D. Shepard three days before Shepard’s bribery and conspiracy trial. Joseph M. Arnoff said he sent Shepard the money in 1954 to cover interest on a $10,000 loan his firm arranged for Shepard after Shepard sought support on a zoning matter. The council approved the Seven Acres zoning change in San Fernando Valley, but Mayor Yorty vetoed the act.
