Ford Expected To Sign Tax Bill
President Ford is expected to sign a sweeping tax bill approved by Congress, extending last year’s multibillion-dollar income tax cuts through 1977 and broadening allowances. The measure reshapes estate and gift taxes, expands standard deductions, and offers credits to the elderly while affecting many taxpayers. The package, seen as the era’s most far reaching revision in decades, aims to simplify filings and broaden eligibility for tax deferred plans.

Episcopal Church approves women priests amid division
In Minneapolis the Episcopal Church narrowly authorized ordaining women as priests amid deep intra church splits. About 40 percent of bishops opposed the policy, with 37 signing conscience refusals to accept it, while some clergy speculate civil challenges could arise if bishops resist.
