Editorial notes that anti-Communist zeal can blind observers to differences among Soviet, Yugoslav, and Chinese systems. It highlights Sen. J. William Fulbright's Senate report urging the United States to encourage variety within communism, including accepting Yugoslavia's neutralist path as a useful stance for free world interests.
A senator reflecting on Yugoslavia argues it is more neutral and reliable toward the United States than some non-Communist states. He spent nine days there, noting lessons about how great powers’ divides may be less sharp in practice. He critiques the red cloak of communism as a coat of many colors and warns against seeing only one shade of red.
Kirtland King urges Governor Hoff to reconsider the dismissal of George W. Davis, longtime director of Vermont Fish and Game. The letter lauds Davis’s 28 years of service, citing improved hunting and fishing, successful waterfowl breeding programs, and notable Battenkill trout stocks, warning the state would lose a skilled leader and risk resource management if Davis is replaced.
Six Southwestern Vermont districts, already joining to build Mt Anthony Union High School, vote Tuesday on merging elementary districts into one Bennington School District Inc.

The plan hinges on similar tax and debt levels and aims to streamline education and curriculum planning.
