"I cannot see anything wrong with studying success (of Arizona and Colorado, for example) I think we should study the success other states have had. I think we are way behind. The other local governments think we are way behind." broad-minde- Automation Will Rule Passenger Flight in Future The first NEW YORK (ACCN) conclusion today's passenger would draw on arriving at the airport of 2000 A.D. would be that he had definitely come to the wrong place. At least that's what R. M. Stone, Continental Airlines vice president-propertiand the man in charge of airport facilities, is telling people. es "There won't be any ticket counters, no baggage check-i- n and claims areas, no ticket agents or porters, and no lotig tunnels and walkways leading to the gates," Stone says. Tomorrow's traveler will hop in a capsule downtown (or in his suburb) and be whisked directly to a small holding area where he'll take his seat. The holding area will then be lifted up and slipped into the plane. He won't have anything except "carry-on- " luggage since we'll be using paper clothes and you'll buy a new outfit each day. On the plane, Stone says, an attendant will determine the passenger's exact destination (downtown or suburb), the information will be radioed ahead and the computer will have his capsule waiting when he gets off. Commission Drafts Prison Reform Plan ABA WASHINGTON (ACCN) (Special) The American Bar Association on Commission Correctional Facilities and Services has drawn plans for a comprehensive program ranging from encouragement of grievance mechanisms to defuse explosive situations in prisons, through diversion of early offenders into training and employment programs. The program was approved in a day-lon- g meeting at the United States Supreme Court where the Commission met at the invitation of Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. The new program will supplement three major Commission projects already underway. |
