Housing slump may be eased but auto industry pressure persists
United Press International reports a federal banking official foresees a near-term easing of the housing slump while the auto sector remains weak. American Motors cuts about 700 white-collar jobs this summer, with GM Ford and Chrysler reducing salaried staffs by at least 10 percent. Production layoffs rise to 245,650 across U.S. plants. savings inflows at savings and loan institutions turn positive in May, signaling possible housing activity rebound. Senate Democrats block Reagan tax cut attempt but vow a $20 billion to $22 billion plan by September 3 for 1981 reductions.

Judge clears Grove City student loans
A federal judge ruled the government cannot deny student loans to Grove City College students for the school's refusal to sign a non sex discrimination form. The decision, by U.S. District Judge Paul Simmons, reaffirmed that federal aid cannot be cut off solely for not signing Title IX forms, though penalties may apply if actual sex discrimination is shown.
