Teachers In Boston May Strike
Boston faced tensions as the desegregation court order continued into the second week of classes. Attendance hovered at 70.4 percent of a 76 000 student projection while clashes erupted in South Boston and a threat of a citywide teachers strike loomed. The Boston Teachers Union sought a 10 percent wage hike and was enjoined from striking by a Superior Court judge, with possible further action contested by a federal court.

Durkin Sees Committees Boost for New Hampshire Senator
Senator John A. Durkin's Senate assignments include the Labor and Public Welfare and Commerce committees plus the Aging special panel. He sought Budget and Judiciary posts but they were not approved. Durkin's seniority helped him gain leverage over freshmen while Democratic leadership reshaped committee memberships, enlarging the Labor panel and adding one to Commerce. Grandmaison will screen hundreds of applications as Durkin adjusts to Senate life.

Hathaway backs extending revenue sharing program
U S Senator William Hathaway of Maine said revenue sharing is a good program that can be improved and supports extending the tax sharing concept before year end. As chairman of the Senate subcommittee on general revenue sharing he spoke to the Maine County Commissioners Association in Rockport. He warned that unless renewed this year the budget act could block passage until late 1976, preventing local communities from including funds in their budgets. He noted communities use funds to restrain tax increases or expand programs.
