The Air Resources Board ordered oil companies to cut gasoline lead to 1.4 grams per gallon by 1977 and progressively to 0.4 by 1980, citing health risks from elevated lead in children in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Oil officials warn prices may rise 1 2 cents per gallon.

Jury Acquits SLA Member. Remiro Still Facing Trial
A Superior Court jury acquitted Russell Little 26, on attempted murder charges in a Concord gunfight while codefendant Joseph Remiro 29 remained deadlocked. Both are serving life terms for the SLA related cyanide murder of Marcus Foster, with a later trial for bomb and explosive possession. Emily Harris denied permission to co counsel in her own SLA related kidnapping and assault case. In aviation news, FAA chief predicts no American SST for at least a decade due to engine and funding issues, urging focus on retro-fitting older planes to meet noise and pollution rules.
