in the school district affected by the
ruling.

National
AMERICA’S 38th president,
Gerald Ford, freely admitted mak
ing mistakes during his term of office
at a college homecoming yesterday
in New Haven, Conn. He told Yale
University students that he made a
conscious effort to de-imperialize
the White House. He said he regret
ted rejecting Soviet dissident Ale
xander Solzhenitsyn’s request to
visit the White House, expressed
qualms about his handling of aspects
of the Vietnam war and held out
hope for a resurgence of the Repub
lican Party.
CHINA’S CHIEF envoy Huang
Chen, was summoned to tbe White
House today following up last week’s
meeting with Russian Ambassador
Anatoly Dobrynin. President Carter
also scheduled his first nationally
televised news conference, set for
early afternoon 1:30 p. m. CST in the
Executive Office Building au
ditorium, next door to the White
House. He also called a meeting of
Democratic congressional leaders to
assess Carter’s chances of quick pas
sage of his $31.2 million two-year
economic stimulus package with its
$50 per person tax rebate. The lead
ers will also discuss Carter’s nomina
tion of former Pentagon official Paul
Warnke as his chief arms negotiator
and his request for authority to reor
ganize the government.
EFFORTS to decriminalize the
possession of small amounts of
marijuana and hashish have little
chance of being accepted by the New
Jersey Legislature after a resounding
defeat in the Assembly of such a
measure last night. Hawkins’ bill and
one in the Senate would de
criminalize the possession for per
sonal use of small amounts of
marijuana and hashish. The fines
would be similar to those for traffic
violations.
FORMER President Gerald Ford
has accepted appointment as The
Distinguished Fellow of the Ameri
can Enterprise Institute, said
William J. Baroody, American
Enterprise Institute for Public Pol
icy Research (AIE) president. AIE is
a non-partisan, nonprofit educa
tional and research institution which
takes no position on public policy
issues. Its basic goal is competition of
ideas in the maintenance of a free
society, with a focus on studying na
tional problems, fostering innova
tive research, identifying and pres
enting varying points of view on
major issues and developing practi
cal options.
WITH A Pacific storm center ex
pected to reach the Colorado Roc
kies by tomorrow, weather modifica
tion experts and state officials con
sidered cloud seeding proposals
from three firms. The seeding pro
gram is designed to increase the
mountain snowpack, which is ab
normally low because of scanty
snowfall this winter. Experts predict
the cloud seeding could increase
snowfall by 15 per cent, providing
Colorado rivers with an increased
supply of valuable irrigation and
drinking water in spring runoffs.
