Bethlehem Steel to Cut 2500 Salaried Jobs
Bethlehem Steel Corp says it will lay off 2,500 salaried workers as production remains down and demand weak. The move follows a prior cut of 7,200 jobs in August at Lackawanna and Johnstown. Executives cite imports, rising costs, and pollution controls, with most layoffs by October. The president and industry groups discuss broader aid and policy, while Zenith faces its own layoffs amid competition from Japanese color TVs.

Judge orders new trial in libel case over press story
Long Beach Superior Court Judge Ernest L. Kelly grants a new trial for the Independent Press Telegram libel suit, citing that the four week trial evidence did not justify the verdict, instructions misled the jury, and rulings compounded the issue. Plaintiff Jon Daugherty, Redondo Beach, had won 600,730 in special damages, 200,000 general damages, and 800,000 punitive damages for a September 22 1974 article linking him to gamblers and crime figures over a Queen Mary arcade lease.

Four suspended Long Beach officers returned to active duty
Four Long Beach police officers suspended after alleged misconduct were reinstated with back pay while awaiting district attorney findings. Officers Barbee and Schmock faced accusations from April at the Brave Bull Bar, while Herrelt and Mauger were tied to alleged coercion in a squad car incident. POA president Michael Tracy pressed city officials, arguing that delaying reinstatement was unfair without charges, and the move followed a protest and meetings with City Manager John Dever and Police Chief Carl Calkins.
