Seabrook suit rejected and Thomson still sued
A federal judge dismissed parts of a civil action seeking release of antinuclear demonstrators at Seabrook and put Gov. Meldrim Thomson and the attorney general on notice to justify being sued for damages. The dismissal covered the armory confinement claims as detainees were released under bail deals, with the Civil Liberties Unions pursuing damages for each demonstrator daily.

Lines drawn in fight over federal money
In Washington the House approved a $2.25 billion antirecession aid extension for state and local governments, aimed at balancing budgets without tax hikes or service cuts. The measure, part of Carter’s stimulus, passed 243 to 94. Rep. Aspin proposed a tax effort based formula but was defeated 243-94, arguing unemployment data alone misidentified recession impact.

Carter drug control nominee says marijuana not a hazard
Peter Bourne, Carter’s nominee to head federal drug policy, testified he has tried marijuana and finds it non addictive and safer than cigarettes. He urged decriminalizing possession under one ounce for personal use and treating it like a traffic violation with a fine, while advocating strict penalties for trafficking and allowing states to set their own laws. Bourne said he experimented only with marijuana in Vietnam and denied other drug use.

Snelling Promotes Vermont Growth Against Galbraith View
Vermont seeks a new economic path under Gov candidate Richard Snelling with a team pushing for industrial expansion, efficiency, and development. Officials plan an overseas promotion office in Geneva to lure European firms while targeting 10,000 new jobs in two years and a housing streamlining plan for middle income families. The state expects a $4.3 million General Fund surplus and aims to restore triple-A credit, with leaders stressing output and local sourcing for a $100 million annual restaurant spend.
