Whites Said Ready to Hand Over Power
Rhodesia's Prime Minister Ian Smith prepared to announce that the white minority government will hand power to the black majority within two years. The plan, urged by Henry Kissinger and John Vorster, includes ending the guerrilla war and bringing blacks into parliament by 1978 with a 2 billion dollar fund to aid whites who leave and bolster development under black rule.

Frederick County School Board Keeps James Wood Ninth and Tenth Grade Plan
The Frederick County School Board voted unanimously to continue the plan to keep James Wood as a ninth and tenth grade school and to build a new high school for grades 11 and 12 on Apple Pie Ridge. The motion, by Robert Aylor III, endorses pursuing federal funds for the new building and calls for a meeting with the Frederick County Board of Supervisors to coordinate. After a 45 minute executive session, John Solenberger defended the plan, noting the board already invested 1.8 million dollars in James Wood and abandoning it would be irresponsible to taxpayers.
