Armed forces seize power in Thailand
Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn, already prime minister, seized full power with military backing. The government, parliament, and cabinet were dissolved as martial law was imposed. The move followed cabinet disputes over a minister’s memoirs critical of officials. Thailand, a long-time US ally, has a history of coups since 1932.

U.S. Ambassador George Bush denounced China's maiden U.N. address as disappointing and disturbing. He condemned the "empty cannons of rhetoric" and said the intemperate language betrayed Beijing's propaganda. The China delegate, Chiao Kuan-hua, had given a pointed critique of the United States and Soviet Union in a 30minute speech.

Education Board abandons 40% aid, seeks Davis budget tweak
The Vermont State Board of Education abandoned plans for 40 percent state aid and voted to request an extra 2.6 million dollars for fiscal year 1973. The board would then provide about 35.9 percent in state aid while maintaining current programs. It also urged separating certain items such as bonded indebtedness and driver education from discretionary budgeting. The plan reduces future aid slightly from this year while avoiding cuts to current programs.

Bennington ends trailer park dispute with accord
Bennington officials and mobile park owner Joseph Corcoran reached a settlement over a zoning dispute. The town will, unusually, represent Corcoran to seek a special variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment to allow 18 trailers at his Morgan Street and Imperial Avenue park. The state Supreme Court had allowed seven trailers initially, with Corcoran later adding more but without a variance. The town says past actions violated Corcoran's rights and aims to correct a prior hearing denial.

Pay Board reopens bid to grant retroactive raises
The Pay Board, under pressure from teachers to allow retroactive salary payments blocked by the Nixon freeze, met to decide how far to grant exceptions to its 5.5 percent guideline. Chairman Boldt noted staff reviews of a soft coal contract claiming nearly 40 percent raise and a rail agreement with a 42 percent rise, which could merit an exception.
