U S Begins Arms Airlift to Israel Amid Soviet Moves
The United States launched an airlift of military supplies to Israel to counter a growing Soviet resupply of Egypt and Syria. State Department spokesman McCloskey said the move aims to preserve military balance and prevent Moscow's massive airlift from escalating the conflict. Nixon framed U S policy as peacemaking and nonaggressive while weighing further resupply of planes and weapons to Israel based on Soviet action.

Valley districts refinance bonds to expand capacity and save costs
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors opened bids to refinance about 13 million dollars of Paradise Valley School District bonds. The move cuts interest from about 4.54 to five percent, extends five to six year maturities, and adds roughly 4 million in bonding capacity for two elementary schools and part of a new high school. District officials say the plan lets them retire old debt while investing savings in higher-yield securities to finance future projects. The board also approved requests to exceed operating budgets for career education programs and to reimburse Paradise Valley High School and Scottsdale High for summer and cancer education projects.
