...President brought joy to Burbank, Calif., home of Lockheed Aircraft Corp., when the Senate by a vote of 49-48 approved an Administration-backed $250 million federal loan to the ailing company. That saved an estimated 60,000 jobs in the depressed aerospace industry. Before the week was out, lines formed again in Burbank restaurants; banks reported a brisk business in traveler's checks. But in another aerospace center. Seattle, the gloom only deepened when the Nixon Administration refused to distribute surplus food commodities in the city because it already had a food-stamp program in operation. While some...

Schecter flew by helicopter to the Burbank television studio where the President spoke, and was waiting outside when Nixon posed briefly for photographers.

Many have already been hurt because work on the L-1011 has been cut back by 50% since the Rolls-Royce collapse; some would get jobs at the McDonnell Douglas plant in nearby Long Beach, where the DC-10 is being built. There would likely be more hiring by Boeing as well as McDonnell Douglas, and by their U.S. engine makers, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. Thus, while a failure of the L-1011 would cause unemployment...
