...under heavy attack. Judge John Hauck, of California's Sutter County Superior Court, has ordered the certification of a $4.75 million school-bond issue that was approved by only 57% of the voters of Yuba City-even though the state constitution requires a 66⅔% yes vote. The need for approval by any more than a simple majority, he ruled, violates the federal constitutional guarantee of equal protection-the basis of the one-man, one-vote doctrine...

Significantly, all of the collisions have involved at least one private plane. This statistic points up the urgent need for better regulation of small craft, most of which lack the sophisticated electronic navigation and safety equipment required by the Federal Aviation Administration for commercial airliners. Indianapolis air-traffic controllers say that the small plane in last week's collision, for example, was not detected by airport radar. Had it been equipped (as all commercial carriers are) with a transponder that bounces back a strong radar echo, it might well have been spotted by ground controllers in time...
