Shapp Busing Bill Veto Expected
HAMMISBURG AP The Pennsylvania legislature faces the emotional issue of forced student busing. Both House and Senate must vote on a bill to ban involuntary busing to a school other than the nearest home. Shapp promised a veto, marking the third time it has landed on his desk. He previously vetoed it, and an override is expected though uncertain in the Senate. The measure targets assignment power without guardian consent and ties to federal court involvement and the Human Relations Commission's desegregation efforts.

Red Cross officials in Buffalo scheduled yesterday’s bloodmobile visit one day early causing many January donors to be turned away due to the 54 day waiting rule. Local donors who had not given in January filled the gap, yielding 70 units. Officials hope this error never recurs and urged 18 plus students to donate at the Red Cross office.
