Downtown Korttisioo Loop Free rides provided To win ms system Ibe - o ; ... today by Evans Witt Staff Writer Today the Chapel Hill-Carrboro bus system begins operation. -1 r Rides for everyone are free today to acquaint the citizens of Chapel Hill and Carrboro with the operations. Five buses will be working seven routes through the two towns. The new system will operate completely separate from the current campus bus system run by Student Government. The fares for the new system, after today, will be 25 cents per ride with a 10-cent fee to be made for transfer from one route to another at the downtown transfer point. All the buses will meet every 30 minutes-at 15 minutes before and after every hour at a point near the intersection of Franklin and Columbia Streets to facilitate transfers. There will be no formal transfer system from the campus system, although both systems are being operated by Raleigh City Coach Lines, Inc. All fares and transfers on the buses will have to be exact change. The bus drivers will cany no change, as a protection against possible robberies. :r If a rider does not have the exact change necessary for this trip, the driver will give him a credit slip which may be redeemed at either the Chapel Hill or the Carrboro Town Hall after the commencement of operation. The system will actually begin operation on routes N and M at about 5:20 a.m. this morning in order to be available to take workers to the University Service Plants, the North Carolina Memorial Hosnital and downtown for 6 a.m. shifts. According to Bill Lieberman from the Department of City and Regional Planning which helped work out the system is oriented for the workers. The' schedules have been designed so that workers going on shifts and to work and those leaving their jobs will have public transportation available to their homes. . Most of: the apartment complexes in the area are also located fairly close to ?,ohe b'fttie5 bus stops, so that students can also use the system to get to campus, Lieberman said. The bust sy stem is being supported for the first 1 1 weeks on a subsidy provided by the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The voters of both towns will decide whether to devote tax money to continue the system in a referendum up for consideration in the May 4 municipal elections. Pamphlets5 and information maps will be distributed soon to disseminate information about the system. Inquires "about the system, including times of operation, can be obtained by calling the Chapel Hill Merchants' Association at 967-7075.

On a roll call of 51 to 46, the Senate upheld the House decision last week to deny the $134 million President Nixon needed to keep the controversial project alive for the last three months of the current fiscal year, ending June 30. The one-two punch delivered by Congress in the past week means that after spending $864 million toward construction and test flight of two SST prototypes, the government will run out of money for the plane next Tuesday, March 30. It was a stunning rebuff to industry, the powerful AFL-CIO and to Nixon personally. All had waged an intensive lobbying campaign in behalf of the SST as a symbol of continued American predominance in commercial aviation and as hopes for an economic recovery. It appeared unlikely that both Houses of Congress would reverse themselves on the issue when they take up Nixon's new request for S235 million in. SST funds for the 12 months starting July 1. On the final showdown, with every seat filled on the Senate floor, in the galleries and around the edges of the chamber, 34 Democrats and 17 Republicans voted against the SST. For continued financing were 19 Democrats and 27 Republicans. Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., an SST opponent who was trapped by snow on a Colorado skiing trip, managed to get to Chicago and charter a private jet but arrived in Washington too late to cast his vote. Sens. Karl Mundt, R-S.D., and B. Everett Jordan, D-N.C, were absent because of illness. Laos offensive officially ends SAIGON The South Vietnamese operation in Laos ended Wednesday but military sources said 2,000 Saigon marines remained to watch over approach routes to the South Vietnamese border. Border defenses were fortified as U.S. planes attacked advancing Communist tanks. Waves of other U.S. jets attacked supply depots and troop concentrations in North Vietnam Sunday and Monday, military sources said, as well as Communist missile sites. About 200 fighter-bombers and B52s took part in the raids 15 miles north of the Demilitarized Zone that separates North and South Vietnam. The U.S. command had announced raids only as "protective reaction strikes" against SAM rnissile sites in North Vietnam. But the sources said primary target of the raids was a North Vietnamese supply and troop buildup that could have been directed at Saigon troops pulling out of Laos or against South Vietnam itself. The Laos campaign was the center of controversy and debate as the operation ended. Both sides claimed success and huge kill figures. Defense Secretary Melvin R. Lar-d said the South Vietnamese task force "achieved its primary objective" of disrupting Communist supply lines in Laos but he also said, in a Washington statement, that "tremendously vicious and violent attacks" by Communist troops forced it to end early. N. Viets cancel Paris session PARIS North Vietnam announced Wednesday it is postponing the Thursday session of the stalemated Vietnam peace talks in "energetic protest" against U.S. aerial bombardment of North Vietnam and "threats of a new escalation and extension of the war." The announcement cited what it called U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's "threat to launch even greater air attacks against North Vietnam, while the Nixon administration continues to threaten to carry the war there." The United States had already announced it bombed missile sites, anti-aircraft positions and ,4related support facilities" in the North Vietnamese panhandle on Sunday and Monday in "protective reaction" to anti-aircraft fire on American reconnaissance flights and on U.S. air operations over Laos. North Vietnam insists American warplanes bombed "heavily-populated regions" on both days. N.C amendment comes first RALEIGH Rep. Jim Beatty, D-Mecklenburg, Wednesday changed his mind and said he would push a state measure to reduce the voting age rather than pressing for ratification of the amendment to the U.S. Constitution passed Tuesday by Congress. Beatty had told newsmen Tuesday he would introduce a resolution for ratification of the federal amendment of the federal amendment because he wanted North Carolina to be the first state to ratify the proposal. But even as Beatty was talking to newsmen Tuesday, five other states had already moved to ratify the amendment. The legislator conceded Wednesday that the Genexal Assembly may well end up passing both measures aimed at lowering the voting age to 1 8, but said he thought it would be appropriate to give the state measure priority "since the people of North Carolina expressed the initiative." N.C. moves to ratify female vote RALEIG H-Admitting the bill was corning "51 years late," Sen. Hargrove (Skipper) Bowles introduced a measure Wednesday to ratify the Constitutional Amendment which gave women in this country the right to vote. Bowles said "North Carolina has the dubious distinction of being one of the few, I think it's seven or eight, states who have yet to ratify the 19th amendment." Bowles said he thought it was time that North Carolina ratify the amendment to officially recognize "that ladies are not only beautiful, charming companions but also intelligent, knowledgeable citizens of North Carolina."
