Batt News Summary
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla.—Pres
ident Nixon halted all bombing,
shelling and mining of North
Vietnam Monday, citing progress
in Henry A. Kissinger’s Paris
peace negotiations.
The “unilateral gesture” order
ed by Nixon sent peace hopes
soaring and came amid a flood
of reports that agreement to end
the war had been reached and
would be signed soon.
The Florida White House re
fused to discuss the reports of
an agreement, stressing instead
that “negotiations are in prog
ress” and that Kissinger would
head back to Paris “in the rela
tively near future.”

McCord Jr., the re-election com
mittee’s security chief, and their
trial continued.
WASHINGTON — The Su
preme Court Monday agreed to
rule on the consolidation of
mostly black urban schools with
adjoining white suburban sys
tems.
The test case accepted Monday
for review comes from Richmond,
Va., where a federal judge order
ed the schools combined but was
reversed by an appeals court.
The justices have never ruled on
the precise question of whether
judges may have children bused
across school district lines and
merge school systems in order to
accomplish desegregation.
SAN JUAN, P. R. — Puerto
Rico paid final tribute to base
ball star Roberto Clemente dur
ing an ecumenical service at Hi

with the island’s governor among
the 5,000 mourners.
FAIRFIELD, Calif.—The jury
in the Juan Corona mass murder
trial reported on Monday after
four days of deliberation it was
deadlocked 8 to 4, but the judge
ordered it to continue trying to
reach a verdict.
Judge Richard E. Patton or
dered the panel not to disclose
whether the eight were in favor
of acquittal or conviction.
8 Days Brings Many New Faces
To Top State Governmental Posts
WASHINGTON — Four more
defendants in the Watergate trial
pleaded guilty to all charges Mon
day, leaving only two men still
standing trial for conspiracy,
burglary and illegal eavesdrop
ping of Democratic National
headquarters during the political
campaign.
Chief U. S. district Judge John
J. Sirica denied a motion for a
mistrial filed by lawyers for G.

AUSTIN — Texas got a fast
starting legislature, a new gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and
speaker of the House all in eight
action-packed days.
Dolph Briscoe of Uvalde and
William P. Hobby Jr. of Houston
were inaugurated as governor and
lieutenant governor in spectacu
lar ceremonies today.
Price Daniel Jr. of Liberty won
election as House speaker with
out opposition as the legislature
convened Jan. 9. The 31-year-old
son of former Gov. Price Daniel
(who now serves on the State
Supreme Court) announced ap
pointment of House standing
committees four days after his
election, and immediately referred
bills for hearing.
Outgoing Gov. Preston Smith
offered some good financial news
to the arriving legislators. His
$9.7 billion biennial budget pro
posal estimated a $300 million
surplus for lawmakers to use in
expanding programs of revising
school finance formulas.
Governmental reform proposals
backed by Daniel will be among
the first bills to get House hear
ing. The House, with a minimum
amount of opposition, promptly
adopted the thick set of proced
ural rules the new speaker urged.
Smith in his swansong to the
Legislature, advised that lawmak
ers move immediately to estab
lish the constitutional revision
commission directed by voters
last November. He submitted as
an emergency matter appropri
ation of funds to pay the commis
sion’s expenses.
The outgoing Governor further
advised legislators ought to con
sider tackling the tough school
finance system overhaul in a spe
cial session.

□ear Congressman:
Please take action to save the Youth Fares and Discount Fares which have recently been
abolished by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
I would appreciate it if you would also write the CAB and request that they delay enforcement
of this decision until Congress has an opportunity to act on this important question.
Some 5-million students traveled using this discount fare in the past year. This contributed
over $4Q0-million to cover fixed costs of the airlines. These carriers can be presumed to have
a full grasp of the marketing considerations involved and are, at least, as interested as the
CAB in dropping any useless discount fares. Yet, an overwhelming majority of the airlines who
participated in the CAB investigation are in favor of these fares.
Millions of students have purchased their Youth Fare identification cards with the belief that
the cards would be valid until their 22nd birthday. Now the cards are being abruptly cut off by
the CAB's decision.
As one of millions of young voters, I respectfully request that you act to pass legislation that
will allow the CAB to discriminate on the basis of age by keeping Youth Fares. I will be anxiously
awaiting the results of the coming legislation concerning this matter.
