Hostage Case Drags On As Trial Date Debated
In a tense session at the Rensselaer County Jail the Hearsts and Harrises faced charges over a May 1974 kidnapping and assault case. Prosecutors pressed toward a June 1 trial while Miss Hearst, jailbound, showed no sign of reaction to the Harrises. Byrne, paroled last November after 12 years for a father-in-law shooting, remains in custody after a dramatic Route 20 standoff with police. The hearing weighed whether to sever the cases, with proponents arguing the public deserves adjudication and opponents warning of cost.

Tax plan seeks higher rate on large deductions
Under the 1869 law a 10 percent tax applies to preferences. The Finance Committee proposes 15 percent, removing the $40,000 exemption, and allowing the minimum tax to be offset by either $5.00 or regular income tax paid. The change would tax more than 450,100 individuals and raise treasury revenue.
