represented a new demand on the community for meaningful and effective action to halt international terrorist acts The assembly in December blocked U.S and Western Proposals for preparation of a

Airlines Ilyushin 18 carrying 17 passengers and eight crewmen crashed near the tern fringe of Sheremetyevo airport today as it was approaching on a flight from Sofia Western airline sources reported

was clear Boston schools lose aid BOSTON AP schools that are almost all black and others that are almost all white a situation federal officials say was intentional So Boston became on the first city outside the South to be cut off from federal education funds a loss for the school system of more than million this year A issue is what amounts to two parallel school systems one in black areas the other in white Transferring between the two is difficult complicated by limited openings and incompatible grade structures authorities say The city says all of this came about by accident The UJS Department of Health Education and Welfare says it was premeditated The two systems emerged in 1967 when the Boston School Committee announced that it was phasing out its traditional junior high schools and establishing middle schools At that time all of the city had junior highs with grades and high schools with grades The new middle schools had grades and the high schools The school committee said the new organization would make it easier to achieve racial balance and better accom youngsters reaching maturity earlier It said it would set up middle schools all over the city and do away with junior highs But the middle schools got only as far as the black ghettoes and then the changeover stopped At the same time the school committee set up complex patterns under which elementary schools in white fed into junior highs and elementary schools m black areas fed into middle schools The middle schools in turn fed into four-year high schools and the junior highs into three-year high schools Pupils were allowed to transfer to high schools outside their areas but they were restricted by space Preference for admission was given to pupils who lived near the high schools was also made difficult because the grade groupings were different Martin H Gerry an assistant director for special programs in HEW testified before an HEW administrative judge that the school committee was willing to make exceptions to its feeder school plan when it allowed white students to escape black schools and go to predominantly white schools But whenever there was a chance that a school would send white students into the black system or send black students into the white system the school committee created special The judge Lawrence M Ring ordered that all federal funds be cut off on the grounds Boston operates a dual school system in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act Tass said the Civil Aviation Ministry had set up a commission to investigate the cause of the crash It was the third crash of an airliner at Sheremetyevo in five months An Ilyushin 62 of the Soviet state airline Aeroflot crashed near Sheremetyevo on Oct 13 killing all 176 persons aboard It was the worst air crash in
