Vietnam pilot's family escape by stolen helicopter
A 30 year old South Vietnamese pilot escaped to Thailand with his family in a stolen helicopter. He vowed he would rather be shot in Thailand than return to a Communist country. His wife, two young children and a mechanic accompanied him as authorities pursue the case. The tale marks the first known air escape from South Vietnam since last May. Nearby, Rhodesia says it is bolstering anti guerrilla units by 60 percent due to increased incursions along the Mozambique border amid Soviet backed guerrilla support.

Police and state officials described tense negotiations and cautious operations with no immediate disclosure of the gunman’s identity or full arrest details.

Who Sets Students' Rights
A Pennsylvania debate centers on the Educational Quality Assessment test used in schools. The plan if voluntary for 1976 will later become mandatory, with the state Education Department and State Board of Education weighing public input. Critics say the test pressures conformity, while supporters argue it helps fix weaknesses in districts. Dr J Robert Coldiron notes the temporary voluntary approach buys time to revise policy and funding priorities for a higher standard system as PennDOT faces highway funding and maintenance questions.
