EPA Moves to Ban All DDT Use Nationwide
EPA announces two actions to end DDT use across the United States. Notices will go to manufacturers to cancel federal registrations in 30 days, and a 60 day review will begin January 18 to halt interstate sales of DDT and 2,4,5-T. Appeals may occur for cancellations, but suspension orders curb interstate sales with no appeal. The agency seeks to resolve if DDT poses an imminent hazard and weighs public benefit versus risk.

Army Says Shortage Hits Army Combat Strength

Kansan lawmakers map early governance and tax plans
In the first week of the 1972 session lawmakers signaled priorities. A 13 member joint committee would handle executive reorganization, pending a court ruling by Judge Carpenter and possible appeals. A constitutional amendment would let 18 19 and 20 year olds vote locally and nationally, with voter approval required. Debates loom on a state tax lid, a spending cap on about 30 000 state workers, and a Uniform Consumer Credit Code opposed by Kansas Bankers Association. Reapportionment of House and districts faces time constraints. The conflict of interest law may be repealed or altered, and a school finance panel urged a 1.5 percent income tax boost for local districts.
