New York approves austerity plan to trim city payroll
New York State fiscal watchdogs approve a three year austerity package that cuts the city budget by 724 million and eliminates thousands of municipal jobs. Gov Beame cites 55000 jobs by 1978 while officials note the figure reflects job equivalents from the savings. The plan freezes wages and hiring for three years, slashes the capital budget by 390 million by 1978, and aims to erase much of the deficit through attrition and nonpersonnel cuts.

TV theft tied to Ford assassination plot exposed
Federal officials indicted Gary DeLure and Preston Mayo for conspiring to kill President Ford in Sacramento on Sept. 5. The plan allegedly used a sewer bombing as a diversion while gunfire aimed at Ford. The theft of a motel room television set foiled the plot. The suspects, both in custody in Santa Barbara, had earlier pleaded guilty to theft charges and faced $100,000 bail. Lynette Fromme’s separate gun incident in Sacramento is not connected to this plot.
