Apollo 16 Lands on Moon Highlands for First Mountain Walk
Apollo 16 astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke Jr. stepped onto the Descartes region of the moon today, aiming to set up a nuclear science station and drive the moon car across the rugged plain to study Spook and Flag craters for volcanic activity. The mission faced earlier delays due to a Casper engine issue, but ground control resolved the problem and cleared three EVAs with a shortened surface stay.

Tax Lid Doing Its Job in Kansas Says Docking
Gov. Robert Docking defended the tax lid at the Kansas Credit Union League convention, noting a 5.4 percent rise in assessed tangible property value in 1971 against a 6.9 percent jump in tax levies. He argued the lid curbed growth but acknowledged some bills rose due to bond issues and 1963 30 percent assessment rules. He urged further legislative strengthening of the lid.
