Supreme Court hearing on parochial school reimbursements
Pennsylvania Attorney General Israel Packel and two aides argued before the U.S. Supreme Court to salvage a plan reimbursing parents of non public school students. The program would pay up to 75 dollars for elementary and 150 dollars for secondary years. The case mirrors New York tax credit plans as both seek national expansion, with a ruling expected later this spring. Monsignor Francis Schulte expressed cautious optimism about a constitutional path for reimbursements. Also mentioned: James Nathan Hutcheson pled guilty in Indiana County Court to larceny, receiving one to three years and restitution for a stolen tape player from H J Machak Jr’s gas station.

State Gas Tax Boost Studied In Harrisburg
AP reports a one cent gasoline tax hike may fund partial fixes for Pennsylvania highways as the House Transportation Committee holds a public hearing with Transportation Secretary Kassab. The plan targets 4,000 lane miles of repairs costing over 100 million, amid a funding clash between Shapp administration bond finance and Republican pay-as-you-go advocates. Shapp proposed a long bond to cover resurfacing, while Republicans push a gas tax rise to generate about 94 million over two years and favor pay-as-you-go. Shapp softened stance to a 10 year bond plan before the House debate.

Nixon seeks Congress approval to sell stockpile items
President Nixon asked Congress to authorize selling 4.1 billion from the strategic stockpile of 91 commodities to curb inflation and stabilize metal prices. He argued current shortages push up costs for consumers, noting rises of 28 to 30 percent in metals like copper zinc cobalt mercury platinum. The stockpile totals 6.7 billion and would still cover one year of major conflict needs.
