New Jersey judge bars land taxes for schools
A New Jersey Superior Court judge ruled that financing public schools through local property taxes is unconstitutional under state and federal equal protection. Judge Botter set a two year deadline to replace the system, with potential loss of $30 million in state aid if not met, and urged a constitutional tax reform by January 1, 1973. The ruling follows similar actions in California Texas and Minnesota and cites stark disparities between wealthy suburbs and urban districts.

Canadian help sought by West Coast dockers
Longshoremen’s leader Harry Bridges met with Oregon Washington and British Columbia dock workers to urge refusal to handle cargo diverted from the 24 U.S. West Coast port strikes. Bridges returned home after the closed door session. President Nixon denounced the strike in his State of the Union address. Vancouver authorities gave priority to Canadian cargo while shippers previously moved U.S. bound freight atop Canadian loads. Wheat piled on Seattle docks as the strike halted work and Los Angeles port workers were laid off.
