Schism Threatens Lutherans as Moderates Fight for Power
A UPI report from Washington describes conflicts at the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod convention where the church president gained authority to oust eight dissident district presidents. Moderates accuse President Jacob A O Preus of leading a purge while conservatives claim a fight over Biblical authority and church centralized power could split the denomination, potentially affecting up to a quarter of its 6,000 congregations. The MODERATE Evangelical Lutherans in Missions leader Sam Roth blames Preus, while six thousand congregations watch Anaheim and Chicago actions that may define the church's future.

Ford plan seeks tax breaks to spur power plant investments
Administration proposals would grant utilities a 12 percent permanent investment credit for new electric plants except oil fueled, with a five year rapid writeoff for pollution controls and oil to coal conversions. The plan aims to total $600 million in the first year, deferring taxes on dividends paid as stock, and would benefit utility stockholders as well as utilities, despite acknowledged inequities and exceptions to the ideal tax system.
