President Nixon said a total U S withdrawal from Vietnam would follow only after the Communists commit to releasing all prisoners rather than merely discuss the POW issue. Congressmen who met with Hanoi officials suggest Hanoi would make such a commitment if an appropriate date is set.

Bennington officials protest state office reorganization plan
Angered selectmen join Bennington County legislator in opposing Bill S42 which would create seven Vermont districts and move major state offices toward Rutland. The plan downgrades the District Highway office to a substation, risks poorer services, and threatens Bennington’s town identity and political clout as districts form around Rutland. The measure, backed by Gov. Davis ally, follows a yearlong study by the Administration Coordination Committee.

Burlington antiwar protests sweep through city park
Gls formerGls will stage mock search and destroy missions at Burlington City Hall Park to protest the Vietnam War. Vermont chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War joins a wider action that began in Washington weeks ago amid student and college campus activities. About a dozen veterans held a peaceful vigil in the rain. In Duxbury Harwood Union High School students and parents plan an eight mile walk to school in protest. Norwich University hosts awareness day with seminars on war drugs ecology and campus changes. An estimated 35 Vermonters were among more than 9,000 protesters arrested in Washington. Legislative moves include possible two year draft extension and attempts to attach a disengagement rider to the draft bill. Senator McGovern and Senator Hatfield weigh that tactic to avert a filibuster and end the draft by June 30. Senator Proxmire aims to limit amendments and spending on military bills, favoring targeted weapon restrictions.

New York Budget Ruled Unconstitutional by Court
New York State Supreme Court Justice Russell Hunt declared the 1971 72 budget unconstitutional in Albany. The 7.7 billion plan, approved by the legislature, led to 8250 state worker terminations. Attorney General Lefkowitz will appeal to the Appellate Division. The Civil Service Employer Association hailed the ruling, arguing lump sum appropriations violated Article 7 of the state constitution. Dr Theodore C Wenzl, CSEA president, noted a 1939 precedent favoring court action.
