Lunch Price Hike by Columbus School Board Approved
Columbus School Board unanimously approved a 10 cent lunch price increase for students to 70 cents and adults to 90 cents, projecting about 240000 student lunches and 6000 adult lunches next year with roughly $24000 more revenue and a $7000 surplus. The board also set bid deadlines August 4 for a Duncan School building contract and postponed the 1977 78 budget hearing to August 12 to reflect state aid petition impacts and a prior calculation error.

Carter prepared to propose defense budget cuts and cruise missile shift
President Carter prepared amendments to trim next year's defense outlay by about 1 billion dollars by canceling 41 B1 bombers and shifting funds to cruise missiles. The plan would reduce procurement for five B1 bombers, add funds for cruise missiles, and consider using wide bodied jets to launch drone warheads, with modifications to B52s. Defense officials say net defense spending would fall, while some research continues on cruise missiles and Navy Tomahawk deployment.

Right to work repeal stalls Carter approval bid
White House aides say President Carter will back the AFL CIO overhaul of federal labor law only if it does not include repeal of right to work laws. The AFL CIO drops 14b repeal, pledging to sign separate legislation without administration lobbying. The compromise aims to speed NL RB actions, raise back wages, and widen penalties for illegal firings, amid likely congressional opposition.
