Albany row on tax rebates faces Rockefeller resistance
New York Senator Mahoney proposed scrapping the 10 percent income tax rebate in favor of preserving tax credits, while Governor Rockefeller cautioned that such a move would hurt "the little people." Tax credits stand at 10 dollars for singles and 25 dollars for married filers. The rebate had added a 10 percent deduction after the credit in a one year plan from 1961.

Education Board waives ruling on certification in Vermont
In Montpelier the State Board of Education, by a 3 to 2 vote, waived a 1958 rule and granted an emergency teaching certificate to a Huntington Center School part time teacher. The move conflicts with a prior stance that emergency certificates require at least two years post high school education. The district sought relief to ease workload on a veteran instructor teaching 28 first to eighth graders in a one room schoolhouse. Two members opposed, saying it would sanction continued poor conditions.
