Will Bennington Budget Face a Defeat Next Week
Town officials defend a lean 1975 76 budget of 1 899 184 as bare bones while facing potential defeat at Town Meeting. Voters may reject items tied to raises and social services amid economic pressure. Mt Anthony School Board’s 3 26 million budget defeat fuels concern. Australian ballot voting replaces floor meeting with two thousand to four thousand voters expected.

Ford and Kissinger urge aid to Cambodia amid insurgent advance
President Ford and Secretary Kissinger told Congress the United States bears a moral obligation to aid Cambodia against the Khmer Rouge. They pressed for 200 million emergency funds, warning that without it Phnom Penh could fall within weeks, while Congress showed little enthusiasm and a spending limit constrained action.

Assad Pushes Prewar Borders for Lasting Middle East Peace
Syrian President Hafez Assad told a Damascus University rally that lasting peace requires Israel to return to pre-1967 lines and meet Palestinian rights. He demanded the Golan Heights and Sinai, rejected by Damascus as peacemaker. Cairo sources noted a US brokered Sinai deal with troop withdrawal and international supervision for the West Bank, with Kissinger’s return seen as key to selling the plan.
