Meanwhile, Southern Railway conceded that it had paid for a Christmas visit by Agriculture Secretary Butz to the railroad's private resort near Charleston, S.C.-even though the Agriculture Department has filed petitions with the Interstate Commerce Commission protesting rate increases by Southern on farm products. Butz told the Associated Press that he had done nothing wrong, said he would repay part of the cost himself and defiantly added that, if asked, he would visit the resort again next Christmas...

Other seismic monitoring grids in the U.S. include a 45-station network in the Los Angeles area, operated jointly by the USGS and Caltech; smaller networks in the New York region under the Lamont-Doherty scientists; and those in the Charleston, S.C., area, operated by the University of South Carolina. When completed and computerized, these networks will provide two warnings of impending quakes. If scientists detect changes in P-wave velocities, magnetic field and other dilatancy effects that persist over a wide area, a large quake can be expected-but not for many months. If the dilatancy effects occur...
