Security thefts threaten public confidence in securities
Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell testifying before the Senate subcommittee warned that spiraling thefts of securities by organized crime have a profound effect on the financial community. He cited counterfeit government and IBM stock, unrecovered losses nearing 400 million dollars in 1969 and 1970, and said a surge in securities trading fuels organized crime interest. Violent misuse of stolen securities has even shifted control of a large life insurance firm to thieves who diverted assets for personal use.

Big Airports Only Feasible For Defogging Method
NASA official William A. McGowan reported that a defogging procedure using a combustion blower to heat air could cost 1,000 to 2,000 dollars per hour but requires initial equipment costs of three to six million dollars, making it viable mainly at large, busy airports with high traffic. He noted tests show the method can evaporate fog droplets and improve visibility, with ongoing research to reduce costs and alternative approaches like helicopter downwash and hygroscopic seeding being explored.

Senate apportionment grows unchanged under Kansas plan
In PERA Kansas senators say no major seat shifts will occur next session. State Sen. Jack Robinson chairs a subcommittee studying apportionment and notes no district abolitions. The panel will wait for July 15 census figures from the State Board of Agriculture before resuming in late July. Two resolutions passed favor using the 1971 agriculture census and maintaining multi member districts in Sedgwick Johnson Shawnee and Wyandotte. The key difference lies in college student placement between agricultural and US census counts.

Labor unions face uncertain rail ruling impact
Washington labor lawyers split on whether a Supreme Court ruling helps unions with selective strikes to force nationwide wage settlements. The decision leaves intact a Court of Appeals ruling allowing selective rail strikes under conditions, while permitting potential nationwide lockouts only with court approval, prompting calls in Congress to extend cooling off periods and broaden Taft Hartley Act powers.
