Census shift cuts aid to rural schools in new formula
The revised census data reduce federal Title I aid for poorer rural districts while better funded urban and suburban systems gain. Examples include Casey County Kentucky losing 122000, Stewart County Georgia cutting to 95354, and Philadelphia County rising, with San Francisco County dropping. The change reflects population shifts in the 1960s. Also, former Ball High School coach Joe Woolley was indicted for altering a transcript to help a student win an Oklahoma scholarship, facing potential jail and fines.

U S Officials Cautious On Chile After Allende Ouster
State Department specialists cautious in public assessment after Salvador Allende’s ouster and death. They deny U.S. involvement, note no contact with the four military rulers as of late Wednesday, and describe a potential path to stable relations. The junta’s claimed transitional stance offers hope for resumed democracy and possible resolution of expropriation compensation with ITT and U.S. copper firms.

Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns told the House Banking Committee he won substantial support from President Nixon for a tax increase approach to curb inflation.
