Nellis Airman Narrowly Survives Train Collision
Greg Munson, an airman from Nellis Air Force Base, escaped death when his car stalled on Craig Road and was struck by a Union Pacific train. The vehicle, wedged on the tracks after a tire blew, prompted gates to descend as the train approached. Munson jumped clear, while engineer Robert Hicks, 53, slowed the locomotive and reported not seeing anyone in the car. Police responded to the scene on North Las Vegas streets.

Ford Veto Looms Over Oil Price Control Extensions
President Ford plans to veto a bill extending domestic oil price controls through year end and a second price control measure, risking a rise toward world prices when current controls lapse on August 31. A decontrol plan could be enacted, but faces Senate and House opposition. If Congress deadlocks, a six month extension is possible, which Ford would veto, potentially triggering major price increases.
