Woman Cadet Reinstated at Kings Point Academy
Nan cy Donnelly, a 20 year old cadet at the U S Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, is being reinstated after leaving following an incident last March. Her lawyer says she is eager to return and resume midshipman duties. The Maritime Administration says she must face normal disciplinary action, and her reinstatement followed pressure from Sen Beall and the ACLU which planned a sex discrimination suit. Donnelly, who never admitted the incident, was among the academy’s first female plebes and is due to report and resume classes Aug 2.

Senate backs guaranteed income steps for poorest families
The Senate, by 71 to 21, approves a liberalized day care tax credit and adds annual government checks for the poorest working parents with income under tax thresholds. The plan mirrors a negative income tax and follows last year’s family bonus for those earning under 8,000 dollars. A separate provision would let seniors deduct 15 percent of the first 2,500 dollars of annual income from taxes owed.
