Harvard experts note Chou En-lai loss will be felt
Harvard scholars say Chou En-lai's death removes a sophisticated Chinese leader and may slow progress toward U S China normalization. Teng Hsia-ping acts as premier, with potential successor less patient on Taiwan and U S relations. Experts warn against expecting immediate shifts or thawing with Russia.

Salmon proposes $8.8 million more spending for Vermont
Gov. Thomas Salmon proposed a total $10.3 million increase in state spending for the next fiscal year. The plan calls for an $8.2 million General Fund rise and a $2.1 million Highway Fund increase, offset by a $1.5 million cut, lifting the General Fund to about $173.4 million. Salmon urged careful spending despite deficits projected for 1976 and 1977, while leaders questioned the outlook and opposed new taxes.

O'Connor proposes 10 percent cut in school aid
House Speaker Timothy O'Connor of Brattleboro urges a 10 percent slice of Vermont's annual state aid to education to help balance the budget. He favors blocking towns from offsetting the cut with local tax increases, while noting the proposal is politically volatile. The plan targets $3 million from the $33.8 million education aid and could prompt local spending controls.
