New York tax case questioned over Bellas Hess ruling
The 1967 Bellas Hess decision cited by New York tax officials to assert cross border sales tax on Vermont goods remains unclear. The article notes the ruling reaffirmed a Maryland Delaware case and raises that deliveries by own trucks to Maryland did not create tax liability, suggesting Bellas Hess may not justify New York claims. William H. Selden, NYS Sales Tax Bureau, defends Bellas Hess position as valid.

Vance softens U S stance on criticizing rights abuses
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance announced a moderated approach to condemning human rights abuses abroad. He said the United States would speak frankly about injustice when constructive, but avoid strident, issue-by-issue commentary. He warned Rhodesia’s Ian Smith regime that U S support for separate negotiations with black Africans is unlikely and stressed progress in the Middle East. Vance also outlined new ground rules for arms sales, proposing State Department clearance for potential buyers to tighten American control as the United States remains the world’s largest arms exporter.
