FAA Optimistic On Future Airline Security
The FAA forecast a modest improvement in flying security as airports and airlines stepped up measures after bomb threats. By 6 p.m. EST Friday about 20 threats were logged nationwide, mostly hoaxes, with three earlier incidents where explosives were placed on planes. Transportation Secretary Volpe prepared for talks on stricter measures with Cabinet members as ALPA backed the action. Miami police tripled patrols at the passenger deplaning area, and the FAA set a 60 day deadline for detailed security programs from airlines and a master security plan for all 521 airports.

Jesuit Fathers Linked Profit and Loss in Mutscher Case
In the bribery conspiracy trial, Father Michael Genelly testified that the Jesuit Fathers of Houston made a $165,000 profit on stock bought from Speaker Gus Mutscher and others in 1969 but incurred a net loss of $235,000. Dist Atty Bob Smith suggested resting the state’s case Monday morning. The Jesuits bought $1 million worth of National Bankers Life Insurance stock at $20 a share, later sold 30,000 of 50,000 shares at $25.50, and lost the remaining 20,000 shares as the market collapsed.
