Jensch details AEC hearing scope for Vernon plant case
Jensch told Rushford that until a petition is filed no consideration can be given to the application. He said the AEC hearing will broaden to include environmental factors under NEPA and the Water Act. The Vernon plant's $145 million project faces activist opposition and a safety report due in early June may push hearings into July or August.

Supreme Court rules busing integral to desegregation plans
The Supreme Court, in four unanimous opinions written by Chief Justice Burger, upholds busing and targeted racial balance to achieve unitary, desegregated school systems. It endorses transfers with transportation, zone pairings, and measured racial balance, while allowing flexibility for local authorities to weigh transportation plans against educational needs. The ruling centers on Charlotte-Mecklenburg NC, reaffirming federal standards over state limits and setting guidelines for future desegregation orders.
