Carter Dissent Highlights Road Priority Battle in Bennington
Arlington residents spoke against a belt line road that would slice the village, while the Bennington County Regional Planning Commission nearly unanimously opposed shifting priorities to build a belt line at the cost of a new U S 7 route from Deer Park in Bennington to Manchester. Only one member dissented in the Friday night vote, signaling strong regional opposition to the intra county road change.

Hanoi Stands Put On Talk Demands
UPI report from Paris says negotiator Henry Cabot Lodge and South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky called urgent talks as Communist circles push to address South Vietnam's political regime first. Allies fear a new Viet Cong offensive after a Feb 15 22 truce and seek military deescalation before political issues. A Vietnamese exile peace movement urged a national union cabinet to replace Thieu, labeling Saigon a dictatorship. The Paris talks began Jan 18 but stalled over competing political platforms.
