Washington up noting that even Small amounts of Lead in the air May be More harmful than previously thought the environmental Protection Agency Fri Day put Sharp new limits on emissions of the substance by automobiles and Industrial sources. Most cities will be Able to meet the Stan Dard the Agency said because Lead Al ready is being phased out of gasoline. But the announcement said some Indus tries such As Lead smelters May find it economically impossible to meet the Stan Dards and alternate approaches could become necessary in some areas. The Agency s new Rule provides that Lead in the air May not exceed 1.5 Micro Grams per cubic meter. It is Well known that Lead is highly toxic and can Lead to permanent health dam age or even death Epa administrator Douglas Costle told a news conference. Moreover we Are finding that even Low Levels of Lead May have More harmful and persistent effects than previously under stood. With continued exposure Lead accumulates in the body Over a lifetime. Lead taken into the body interferes with blood for mation and May impair mental ability. We Are focusing on protecting Young children because in their rapid growth they Are More sensitive to these effects than Are  about 160,000 metric tons of Lead Are pumped into the nation s air each year 90 percent of it in vehicle exhaust. The Agency said regulations calling for Lead to be phased out of gasoline by october 1979 should help clean the air in most Urban areas by 1982. However he said we face a very different set of problems regarding the non ferrous smelter Industry and other Industrial sources of Lead. In the United states there Are now six primary Lead smelters 16 Copper smelters and Over 50 secondary Lead smelters. These sources will require substantial controls on their current emissions in order to meet the  Costle said while most primary smelters Are in non populated regions Many secon Dary Lead smelters Are in Urban areas and May not be Able to technically or economically achieve the  the fact of the matter is the Lead Indus try we Are told is fighting for its economic survival Costle said. It is not Epa s in Tention to put people out of  the Epa lacks information on the Poten tial Cost of smelter cleanups he said and studies will be conducted Over the next few months. We do not believe that a major disruption of this Industry is an acceptable Conse Quence Costle said and we Are deter two off duty pilots mined to explore every Avenue to avoid such an Impact while still protecting Public health. If our study of these impacts Over the next 18 months indicates economic effects unwarranted by the health Protection involved we will consider a wide Range of re medial action including the possibility of seeking revisions to the clean air  Epa began developing the Standard under a court order resulting from a 1975 suit by the natural resources defense Council.

Passengers May have been in Jet s cockpit san Diego up minutes before a commercial Jet and Light plane collided in flight in the nation s worst air disaster two off duty pilots travelling As passengers were in the cockpit joking with the Crew according to a report being studied Friday by Federal investigators.

Nineteen spa employees were aboard the Boeing 727 and were among the 151 per sons killed in the crash. The two visitors made a total of five persons in the flight deck just before the collision but airline officials said there Wasio violation of procedures. Also before the investigation team was a report the Pilot capt. James Mcferon had turned control Over to his first officer Robert e. Fox at the time the collision occurred. The spa Jet with 135 persons aboard and the Cessna 172 collided 3,000 feet above san Diego monday Only 65 seconds after the Jet had been warned by controllers to watch for traffic at 12 o clock one mile Elizabeth Taylor Warner leans Back to make Way for an old actor Friend former California gov.

Federal crash investigators revealed that the spa Jet descending for its Landing at Lindbergh Field overran the Cessna which was climbing As both were flying in the same general direction. The 727 overtook the Cessna on an an Gle from the rear said Brad Dunbar spokesman for the National transportation Board. The finding again raised the possibility that the spa Pilot never saw the single engine Cessna and May have seen a third Light plane in the area. Dunbar said there were two Candi Date planes being investigated As Possi Bly occupying the same air space. Investigators meantime were trying to learn More about the air traffic control systems that guided the two aircraft at two separate control facilities. Three controllers at Lindbergh including one who was earlier described As emotionally distraught told investigators they did not know a mid air collision had occurred until six or seven minutes after the collision. They believed instead that the Jet s engines had exploded and it did t immediately occur to them that another plane was involved because the spa Jet had acknowledged what he believed was the Cessna. Dunbar explained that controllers at the Lindbergh Tower guide planes for takeoffs and landings by a radar scope and visually by looking out the window. But the Lindbergh radar equipment does not show Altitude so when the two dots came together on the screen represent ing the Jet and Cessna it was thought they passed each other at different altitudes Dunbar said. Controllers visually saw the spa Jet twice but never saw the Cessna. Fiat hikes prices Turin Italy a Fiat the giant italian Auto manufacturer has announced an average 3 percent Price increase
