43 000 GIs Get Out Early
Washington AP The Army will discharge 43 000 draftees up to four months early as Congress considers a 50 000 man average strength target for fiscal 1972. The early releases cover those assigned to U S posts serving between Sept 1 and June 30 1972. Secretary Froehlke says the move aligns with the anticipated manpower cuts and could force further reductions, reenlistment changes or fewer inductions. Defense Secretary Laird criticizes the approach of averaging strength over the year rather than at year end.

Subsidy Delay No Problem For Corry
The Corry Area School District says it will not be affected by a noted delay in state educational subsidies. Superintendent Ray Elsen said Corry typically receives quarter end payments and expects the first quarter funds by late September with last year’s fourth quarter arriving in June. Treasurer James Howard noted the district is midway through tax collection and could use any delayed funds to cover emergencies, while county districts face broader impacts. Corry’s subsidy totals stand at 349,897 dollars with Union City at 187,079 dollars.
