TWA Plans KC Flight Attendant Base Closure
Trans World Airlines intends to close its Kansas City flight attendants base and reassign staff to St. Louis to cut costs. About 150 KC attendants would compete for monthly assignments with 1,500 STL workers, prompting mixed reactions from the local flight attendants union amid pay and work rule disputes.

Government payments rise, crop receipts drop amid weak 1986 outlook
Government payments to farmers rise sharply in 1986 while cash receipts from crops and livestock fall to a seven year low. USDA projections put 1986 cash receipts at 130 to 134 billion, down from 140 to 142 billion last year, with crop marketings down and livestock receipts easing only slightly. The report notes large deficiency payments may reach 10 to 13 billion and cites cuts in loan rate supports as a key factor shaping farm income. Last year net farm income estimates range 21 to 25 billion, with 1984 a record 34.5 billion.
