State role on busing pushed in LA desegregation plan
Los Angeles court heard arguments on who should monitor the district desegregation plan. Monroe Price urged that the state, not the county, act as watchdog, with the State Board of Education or the state superintendent possibly serving as monitoring agent. Board officials say current proposals show progress but omit many integration measures for elementary grades. Federal bilingual requirements may threaten $12 million in aid if the district fails to implement bilingual programs.

Van Houten to get new judge for third murder trial
In Los Angeles, Deputy District Attorney Si phen Kay said he will call more psychiatrists as witnesses in Van Houten s third trial. Superior Court Judge Edward Hing will step aside, with a new judge to be appointed for the next trial at a Sept 20 hearing. Hing presided over the hung retrial on the 1969 LaBianca case and Tate conspiracy charges. Keith said he will again seek a manslaughter verdict and a diminished capacity defense. The prior trial ended without a verdict as jurors split on premeditation under Manson influence. The case follows Van Houten s 1971 conviction with Manson and two others, later overturned on appeal after her attorney died.
