Mexico Tourism Losses Mount From Jewish Boycott
Mexico faces multimillion dollar hits as American Jewish groups cancel tours and hotel bookings after Mexico voted at the United Nations to classify Zionism as racism. Hotels in Acapulco and Mexico City report thousands of cancellations and an estimated $4 million to $5 million drop, with conventions losses and major tour cancellations totaling hundreds of thousands more. Public debate follows government actions and assurances from leaders that Zionism is not equated with racism.

Tax Hike Would Have Registered At Polls
In Washington Ford vetoed a continuation of the 1975 tax cut but Congress failed to override. The tax increase would have impacted a nation just emerging from recession as unemployment nears eight million and labor force erosion nears 12 million. Inflation and higher prices would press households, influencing 1976 political choices amid a slow recovery. Local items note SACO adults hold a Christmas party at Trinity Church parish hall with President Walter Peterson and a bowling league update, holiday decoratings committee, and Santa Claus visit.
