Vermont land plan pared to land capability focus
Vermont lawmakers move to publish a draft land capability bill that drops development rules for now and keeps development policy for a future land use plan. Rep. John Meaker shortened the Brownell document to eight pages, while supporters insist land use must follow capability. Governor Salmon supports the Brownell plan as the committee prepares a bill in bill form for vote.

Road chief denies interstate scheme in Vermont
Vermont Highway Commissioner John T. Gray rejected charges that the department is hiding plans for an Interstate highway from Connecticut to Burlington. He said the panel’s discussions focus only on Vermont roads and denied coordinating interstate plans with Massachusetts. Gray acknowledged some correspondence but called it routine, not a bid to sneak an Interstate highway past the public. Gray noted interstate-border coordination exists and is necessary for federal aid highway work.

U.S. Cuba reach antihijacking pact to prosecute hijackers
State Department says basic agreement on an antihijacking pact with Cuba has been reached and will finalize procedural details in days. Nixon notes the accord does not normalize relations. The deal would allow Cuban authorities to prosecute hijackers and possibly cover U.S. cases against Cuban exiles, with signing details pending. Cuba, 90 miles from the U.S. coast, saw 61 hijackings of American aircraft between 1961 and 1972, peaking in 1969 with 31 forced landings.
