The Theodore A. Rushton report describes a growing dispute as county assessors oppose a computer based property valuation plan for single family homes. Lawmakers consider emergency tax relief, Senate hearings on property tax, and potential shifts in who pays relief. The struggle risks extended session length and a 1974 election backdrop.
Ex prisoner of war Lt Van Loan describes eight days of torture in North Vietnam including extended sleep deprivation, manacles, ropes and suffocation. He recalls captors forcing him to sit for weeks and denies claims of recreational treatment, saying he would endure six more years if needed and that his combat service was worthwhile.
Representative Franky Kelley of Phoenix outlines legislation to ban abortions in the last three months while allowing licensed facilities in the first three months with voluntary counseling. A second measure would license abortion services and mandate pre abortion counseling. The proposals follow a court ruling affecting Georgia and Texas. Kelley, with Samaritan Health Service, says the court opinion grants states leeway to ban abortions except to protect the mother's life.
Senator Walter Mondale announced plans to introduce a bill next week to stop using appropriated funds for U.S. bombing in Cambodia. He argued continued air strikes after Vietnam withdrawal questions presidential authority without congressional approval.
A 74 year old prospector and ranch hand Marion T. Tex Walker was beaten to death near Cherry Ave and 17th St. Two men Mark E. Filip and Cal W. Knott are held without bond as suspects after a preliminary hearing date is set for five men accused of open murder. A third suspect may exist. Walker spent 60 years seeking the Lost Dutchman mine and was described by daughter Jenny Scalzi as a desert original. Funeral services are private.
The Rev. E. J. Sicks was fired by Friendship Baptist Church and barred from preaching after a court suit filed by the church seeks a temporary restraining order.

He arrived in Tucson in 1967 from Clarksville Tennessee where he pastored St. John Church for years.
