School budget faces election year wrath
Frederick County schools seek a $37 million operating budget next year with a $21.18 million local tax share. Officials acknowledge substantial cuts due to election-year constraints while parent groups lobby for smaller class sizes, more textbooks, and stronger special education. Aiming to hold the tax rate at $2.32, county leaders reserve funds and propose partial funding for advanced teachers and disruptive-youth programs, with several items already in jeopardy.

Soviet official says Carter bomb decision too quick
A Soviet embassy official criticized President Carter for acting too hastily in rejecting Leonid Brezhnev's offer of a joint U S Soviet ban on the neutron bomb. Vladillen M Vaser said Carter's remarks were too quick and unnecessary strong. Brezhnev urged mutual cancellation and warned against neutron weapons as inhuman. Carter maintained the Brezhnev proposal had no significance in the European theater.

Supreme Court weighs offsetting duties in US imports case
The Supreme Court heard Zenith Radio Corp and the federal government argue over whether the United States must impose countervailing duties on Japanese electronic goods. Zenith contends Japanese subsidies keep prices low in the US, while the Carter administration resists extending tariffs. The ruling could affect steel imports and foreign relations, with the Tariff Act of 1937 cited in defense of offsetting duties.
