Bond outlines three crime proposals for Missouri
Gov. Christopher S. Bond pledges a three pronged crime plan for the next legislature. He would create a drug and organized crime division within the highway patrol, pass a witness immunity statute, and establish a mandatory six month parole system. He cites limited tools for local police in fighting organized crime and drug traffic. The plan would cost about 600000 dollars for the crime task force and parole manpower, with the force serving as a statewide information hub within the patrol framework. An instrumentality law to allow searches for weapons used in crimes is proposed. Bond also touched on energy crisis preparations and noted the Missouri Supreme Court named Lt. Gov. Phelps as presiding officer of the Senate.

Kohoutek Deemed a Disappointing Comet Visit
AP reports Kohoutek will be faint and not spectacular. Navy astronomer Myron Miranian says at best the head may not exceed Jupiter in brightness, with a tail visible briefly between Jan 5 and Jan 15. Astronomers note Kohoutek falls short of Halley 1910 and Ikeya-Seki 1965 in naked eye brightness. Ozark Air Lines posts November record of 257,914 passengers, but year total trails 1972 due to a mechanics strike.
