Train wreck probe closes as two killed near Tucson
The crash occurred when a locomotive rear collided with a train north west of Tucson. Harris and Tessen died, conductor Laran Tirey of Tucson died in the caboose. The commission confirmed Southern Pacific's explanation of cause and may close the probe unless new information emerges. An emergency appropriation would fund two more railway safety officers to cover 3,000 miles of track. The emergency brake activated late, taking five to eight seconds to engage after rain contributed to the impact.

Two-Cent Gas Tax Hike Backed by Supervisors in Compromise
Maricopa County Supervisors pressed for a two cent per gallon gas tax increase to fund roads, with 75 percent to cities and 25 percent to counties. Phoenix officials supported the plan though discussions centered on unpaved county roads as the measure heads to the Legislature. The same day Arizona's Pesticide Control Board approved a fifth one year moratorium on DDT, effective Jan 18 through Jan 13, 1974, rejecting a permanent ban.
