House Sends Senate Bill On City Salaries Herald Statehouse Report
The Indiana House passed a bill allowing second class city councils to set salaries for elected officials while in office, potentially affecting Anderson and larger cities. The measure would let councils revise salaries for future officials and limit raises for incumbents, with mayor, clerk, judge, and council members in Anderson possibly facing annual changes. The House also moved a Veterans Day date change and other measures, while the Senate sent bills on mayoral salaries, school grants, and various blue-ribbon items to the House. A defeated Senate bill sought tenant action against landlords over building code violations.

Peace Moves Include Money For N Vietnam

Up to two and a half billion could go to North Vietnam as part of a five year plan for South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos once a peace accord ends fighting. Henry Kissinger reportedly proposed the illustrative figure after North Vietnam presented a nine point settlement plan including reparations.
