Zarb urges continued support for breeder reactor program
Federal Energy Administration head Frank Zarb told Congress not to cut federal aid to the joint federal private project to build a demonstration breeder reactor near Oak Ridge Tennessee. He argued fusion and solar power are unlikely to yield meaningful output before the next century and cautioned the option to abandon the program is premature. The project has about ten billion dollars spent with roughly 1.7 billion earmarked for Tennessee construction.

Uniform Tax Assessments Get Tentative Approval
In Columbia the Senate gave tentative approval to a measure classifying property by kind and use with uniform assessment ratios statewide. Senator Samuel B. Mendenhall stalled with a filibuster, then accepted a compromise to allow a second reading today. The bill would tax property by use, with agricultural property at 4 percent, and would exempt farm animals and machinery from personal property tax in counties where already exempted as the constitutional amendment moves toward voter submission likely in 1976.
