Richardson Says He Might Make UP List
London AP Ambassador Elliot Richardson says he might be the Republican vice presidential nominee if the list is long enough. He is sure his name will figure on any sufficiently long list now that Nelson Rockefeller has withdrawn. Richardson says he is not seeking the nomination and would not solicit cash contributions due to cabinet duties. He defends his Watergate stance, saying the final report distorted his requests and emphasizes independence of Archibald Cox's investigation.

Days Of Trouble Ahead Trend Analysis Reports
A Trend Analysis Program report prepared by over 100 life insurance executives and distributed by the Institute of Life Insurance in New York predicts two decades of economic, institutional and political turbulence. It warns work may lose meaning as machines replace tasks, leading to lower productivity and greater reliance on government and employers for financial security. The study foresees more college graduates than jobs, shifts in welfare, housing, transportation and tax policies, and widening alienation from politics with lower turnout.

Fulton Hospital layoffs loom as plan ruled illegal
Fulton State Hospital faced 26 threatened job losses as workers efforts to save them by four days of pay were rejected as illegal under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Hospital officials hoped to cut the budget 3 percent, with about 146000 in foregone wages from pledges already made by staff.
