Tape Use Doubted in Nixon White House Recordings

Chief Judge Sirica granted a two-week delay, likely preventing a Court ruling before Congress adjourns for 1973.

Decatur area bond plan targets school capital projects
Area concrete by 1975, Sellers said. Proposals for an elementary school in Decatur’s Southwest were drawn up years ago but shelved as the district built two middle schools. Bond funds will be restricted to capital improvements and renovations, not operating costs, with renovations, construction and equipment eligible. Overcrowding may trigger zone changes to send more students to Gordon Bibb. Superintendent George Nancarrow says classrooms will be built and temporary rooms replaced countywide. If approved, funds for Calhoun Junior College could finance a fine arts building and deferred maintenance under a 1965 master plan, with cost-reduction efforts cutting the original $1.5–2 million scope and an auditorium down to 500 seats. Agri-business and home economics facilities may accompany a World War II site building, contingent on grants and approvals.
