Easy Escape Routes Plot for Fugitives Abroad
Washington officials say it is incredibly easy for fugitives to flee the United States by crossing into Canada or Mexico and seeking asylum at Cuban embassies for onward travel to Algeria or other destinations. The route is aided by wide open borders, informal networks, and lax border staffing, with cases like Eldridge Cleaver and Timothy Leary cited. Extradition hinges on treaties, and Cuba's and Algeria's lack of formal relations with the U.S. complicates pursuit.

Federal Cars To Run On Low Or No Lead Gas
President Nixon orders all federal vehicles to use low lead or unleaded gasoline where practical and urges state governments to do the same. The move affects 600000 government cars and aims to cut hydrocarbon emissions while prompting refiners to supply more of the fuels. By 1974 the government plans to stop buying leaded gas, with 54 percent of vehicles already able to run on the new fuels, despite a modest cost rise. The presidential limousine will switch after necessary modifications.
