Environment Crisis Adds To Vermont Housing Shortage
Vermont faces a drastic shortage of low and middle income housing. Thomas E. Davis, head of the Vermont Housing Commission and director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, urged a balance between environmental preservation and growth at HOME Inc. He warned that without growth, 40,000 new homes are needed in a decade and jobs may be lost. He faulted zoning and planning that push up costs and limit low-cost housing while arguing for pragmatic growth to sustain government services and tax bases.

Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield accused the Nixon administration of violating the congressional ban on U S ground troops in Laos by allowing advisers on incursions.

Mansfield said it was a violation in spirit and dismissed filibuster threats as ill advised while Republicans seek a compromise.
