Tax reform bill headed for Nixon sign in tentative fate
Congress sent the $9.1 billion tax reform measure to President Nixon after a fast, straight train of passage in both chambers. The bill cuts personal taxes beginning next January and trims the investment tax credit while raising Social Security benefits and tightening loopholes. If Nixon signs, paychecks reflect a 5 percent surcharge cut in January with the full 5 percent drop lasting six months, and the measure reshapes many credits and exemptions for individuals and businesses.

A 20-year-old Londonderry youth was arrested Monday at Stratton Mountain ski resort on charges of selling marijuana and LSD for November 19 in Manchester. Allen S. Howe, arraigned in a Bennington District Court session, pleaded not guilty and faces a December 29 arraignment. Ball was set at 5250, Howe released on bond via guardian Louise Howe West. State Police say Howe, a Stratton ski instructor, was among six arrests in four days linked to marijuana hashish and LSD sales in the Manchester area. Friday raids on three homes yielded substantial LSD and alleged imports from out of state, with suspects described as local youths rather than hippies. Additional arrests included Neil M. Pierson, Howard D. Mallory, Angelin B. Higuera, Robert J. Solari, and Patrick N. Salo, with Salo arrested in Granville, New York.
