Oregon woman sues Church of Scientology for fraud

Portland woman Julie Christofferson Titchbourne sues for 2 million dollars alleging deception by the Church of Scientology. She claims promises of courses would aid college work, creativity, and intelligence, plus cures for neuroses and criminal tendencies, while alleging memory and concentration loss after involvement. The case, one of the first major fraud suits against Scientology, proceeded to closing arguments with a 12-member jury expected by midweek.

Continentals official cites mechanics error in DC-10 cracks

Continental vice president of maintenance Martin V. Taylor tells an NTSB hearing that two cracks found last December and February occurred when mechanics removed the engine and pylon as a unit and banged together two parts of the support. Investigators contend the relaxed procedure may have caused a 10 inch crack in the American Airlines DC-10 pylon that failed on takeoff killing 273 people. Douglas Aircraft officials say the pylon design, not the maintenance method, caused the crack. Connections to United and Western airlines are noted, while American cites an unprecedented design problem and examines maintenance at Tulsa. Douglas plans no redesign unless evidence warrants it.
