Line denies SAS bid to fly POWs to New York
A Stockholm newspaper claimed SAS was asked to fly 183 American war prisoners from Indochina to New York, but SAS issued a formal denial. The airline said a private party approached it about a charter from Vientiane to Rome for 187 passengers, with no identification tying them to military personnel. U.S. and Swedish officials denied knowledge of any POW exchange, while Harlan Chapman expressed cautious hope for the prisoners’ release. Subsequent statements clarified no government involvement and noted the matter was tied to Vietnam withdrawal timetables.

Lorain steel plant to restart one furnace amid weak orders
U S Steel’s Lorain Cuyahoga works will open with one blast furnace Saturday as orders lag, with rolling and finishing mills at reduced output. About 7,000 workers were employed pre shutdown, but exact numbers not known. Union officials say unemployment may be lower than feared, and start up will involve one daily Basic Oxygen Process shift beginning Tuesday. Stockpiling and imports cited as key factors, with workers urged to file for unemployment benefits.
