Revenue Sharing Seen As Vital to Missouri Finances
Missouri faces potential financial strain if Congress does not renew the General Revenue Sharing Act when it expires in December 1976. In fiscal 1975 Missouri received 117.5 million dollars in revenue sharing, with one third to the state and two thirds to local governments. The program funded major capital projects, including university facilities in Columbia and Kansas City, and a St. Louis services building. Local cities credit revenue sharing with avoiding tax hikes, supporting police stations, stadium repairs, and street projects.

At the United Nations General Assembly Idi Amin urged the extinction of Israel and urged African Americans to unite against perceived subjugation. He attacked Britain over colonial history and praised U.S. aid while stating that Israel should be expelled from the UN. Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. of the NAACP called Amin’s remarks ridiculous. A separate AP item notes a federal judge ordered Amtrak to pay $30,000 for a 14-year-old rape victim on a New York to St. Louis train in 1973.
