TAYLOR CONCORD The only i i reached i yesterday's public hearing on the Menge-Throwbridge income lax bill, was that no decision on the merits of the measure could be made until after further study of the proposal. Because of the complexity and importance of the measure, members of the Ways and Means Committee decided lo continue the public hearing next week, so all could have further- time to study the proposal. A second reason for delaying the matter is the measure's referral to the state Supreme Court for an advisory opinion on its constitutionality. Sponsored by Reps. C.

Robertson Trowbridge, R- Dublin. and John Menge, D- Lyme, the proposed tax would levy a per cent income tax on slate's residents, and a $22 per 51,000 school property tax on-industry and business.

Nifes 'Til Hangchow May Be Site Of Nixon-Mao Meeting Rv FRAVir rnmnco By FRANK CORMIER TONOLULU (AP) -President Nixon, tarrying here en route to his China summit talks, is likely to meet Chairman Mao Tse- tung in the picturesque resort city of Hangchow. Logical Site American sources said this seemed a logical site for a N'ix- on-Mao conference since Hang- chow, the slop on the President's China itinerary, -is a favored relreat of (he 78- year-old Communist leader.

The President and Mrs. Nixon, who' arrived Thursday afternoon following a 10-hour nonstop fight from Washington, will remain in Hawaii until Saturday afternoon. Then they will fly to Guam for an overnight stay before proceeding to Shanghai and Peking.

Secretary of State William P.

Rogers, who -was with them aboard the presidential plane, said in response to newsmen's questions that the U.S. government has ho confirmation of a report that, Le Due Tho, the Hanoi official who secret negotiations with presidential adviser Henry A. singer, would arrive in Peking a day before Nixon. Rogers offered no support fop speculation that the North Vietnamese official would be meeting wilh Nixon or other Americans in Peking. Several thousand persons, some waving "Aloha" banners, greeted the President and Mrs.

Nixon at Kancohe Marine Air Station. The Nixons borrowed the 17-' room home of Brig. Gen. Victor Armstrong, a brigade commander.
