DC-10s Resume Flights After FAA Inspections
Many DC-10s ordered grounded were back in the air as airlines completed FAA mandated engine assembly inspections. World Airways, National Airlines and American Airlines reported jets returning to service, with inspections expected to finish by nightfall. The grounding followed last Friday's Chicago crash, which killed 273. Thousands sought new travel arrangements amid lighter disruption at several hubs.

Last ditch bid for teachers pay hike fails in Frederick County
Frederick County Commissioners rejected a last ditch request from the school board and teachers to restore cuts to a 6.8 percent pay hike for the coming school year. Teacher Association President Max P White urged a work slow down starting Thursday, while Board President Willam G Linehan defended limits and said funding enough to cover the full rise would require broader raises for all county employees.

Governors win power to manage gas sales nationwide
President Carter announced an executive order granting governors in 17 states emergency powers to regulate gasoline sales to ease shortages. The move, expiring Sept 30 unless extended, allows fuel allocation, service hour regulation, minimum purchases, and odd/even day restrictions, though many governors expect little use unless in a true emergency. Governors from Illinois, Indiana, Oregon and Idaho said voluntary conservation suffices, while others noted no immediate need and anticipated legislative input.
