The Supreme Court, by an 8 to 1 vote with Justice White dissenting, ruled Ohio’s 1971 law giving $90 per child for private and parochial school tuition unconstitutional. The court did not offer reasons, upholding a federal panel’s decision nullifying the program amid prior rulings on church-related funding.

Walford in Two Senate Districts and Overlapping Campaigns
Iowa lawmakers discovered Walford sits in both the 14th senatorial district and the 36th, creating overlapping campaigns for Sen. Cloyd Robinson and Joan Orr. The district map and legal descriptions, approved March 31, 1972, place Walford in representative districts 27 and 72 as well, drawing opposition in both parties. Iowa Legislative Service Bureau analyst Phil Burks explains Walford’s dual inclusion stems from the current districting plan, with letters sent to officials noting the misdescription of Florence township outside Walford.
