Schools and tax relief top California 72 agenda
California lawmakers from both parties agree school financing and property tax relief will dominate the 1972 session. Sen George Moscone and leaders say a general state tax increase may be needed to boost school funding, while coast protection, pay hikes for 80 000 state employees, consumer protection and no fault auto insurance also figure in. The Supreme Court ruling ties local funding to property taxes, prompting calls for reform and potential tax overhaul to meet constitutional requirements.

Heath rejects Malta ultimatum and keeps door open
London reports Prime Minister Edward Heath personally rejected Malta Premier Mintoff’s pay up or quit demand while signaling room for talks. Britain will pull army and naval forces from Malta, risking a Soviet-led takeover as 8,000 workers rely on the bases. Mintoff travels to Libya to seek aid from Muammar Gaddafi, who previously promised support. Police guard Mintoff and cabinet amid potential unrest as Valetta braces for drawn-out evacuation. British High Commissioner delivered the message that Britain will withdraw and will not pay the extra rent or continue forces against Maltese wishes. The decision follows Mintoff’s Dec 31 deadline and is expected to take months to remove equipment and troops.
