American Airlines went to court Monday to press for the changes, contending United’s proposed schedule was misleading. U.S. Dis trict Judge John McBride ordered the change the same day. The Fort Worth-based carrier said United schedules starting Oct. 1 reflect not-yet-approved deviations from federal guidelines on takeoffs and landings at O’Hare. The rules are high density slot rules, intended to regulate traffic at four of the nation’s busiest airports by designating times for takeoffs and landings. “United will comply with the court’s ordej r and we expect ; FAA on Friday to approve fornui our schedule, which wecarefulhi signed to reduce congestion andit lay at O’Hare,” United said in i statement. McBride has scheduled a heatE for Sept. 4 to decide whether to istii a preliminary injunction that woii bar United from operating untls the new flight schedules, Amend: spokesman Ed Stewart said. “Passengers will show up at lit airport expecting to depart at tit time listed in the timetable, onlyt find the flight won’t depart?, schedule because United doe® have a slot at that time,” American! general counsel Anne McNanai said. Earlier this year, United resums its position as the nation’s larjs carrier, replacing American. reat vea sen met 1 off I skili ers, dia Moi Battle of briefcases Overspending becomes issue in state campaign AUSTIN (AP) — A battle over briefcases erupted Tuesday between lieutenant governor candidates Rob Mosbacher Jr. and Bob Bullock. Republican Mosbacher, said Bul lock, the Democratic state comptrol ler, ran an inefficient “gold-plated agency.” Evidence of Bullock’s excesses, Mosbacher said, is the purchase of 819 briefcases for the comptroller’s office since 1984 at a cost of $32,000 to the taxpayer. Bullock’s campaign said the brief cases were needed by state auditors who bring back 12 times their salary in tax revenue. Prior to purchasing the briefcases, the employees had to tote files in plastic bags when auditing busi nesses, said Bullock aide John Bender. He said the briefcases are owned by the comptroller’s office, not indi vidual employees. Bullock said Mosbacher’s attack was an attempt to mask his own mis management of the Texas Depart ment of Human Services, which has been plagued by budget problems. Mosbacher is chairman of the Dili governing board. Mosbacher made his remarks)!! news conference while standing^ hind a mini-mountain of bonwti briefcases. He said that before Bullock ni elected comptroller in 1974, itc(# taxpayers 55 cents to collect evti 1 $100 in tax revenue. That figurell increased to $1 per $100 of tax it* nue, he said. “You would think in an age of® tomation, the cost of colleci money would drop,” Mosback said. “It has elsewhere, but noti Bob’s shop.” Bullock said Mosbacher ignort the 130 percent inflation rate siiiJ 1975, and that average employ# 1 pay has gone up 100 percent. “Junior’s accusations are the mail of a desperate candidate losing4 election,” Bullock said. Hightower’s campaign managt! James Clark, said the deW “doesn’t fit into our schedule.” Clark said Hightower had agr# to a debate with Perry to be tap* Oct. 6 in Dallas by KERA-TV.
