Nixon eyes Efficiency Drive Across Federal Agencies
Ziegler said Weinberger at HEW would move to increase efficiency and curb unproductive programs while Richardson would be tasked to control soaring Pentagon costs.

Weinberger Named HEW Secretary In Budget Cut Push
Caspar Weinberger, nominated to head Health Education and Welfare, signals hard times for the department. As former OMB director he favors deep cuts, with HEW budget already near 79 billion dollars and taxing one third of federal outlays, more than defense. Veneman expected to stay, while Richardson's reforms face congressional scrutiny and possible reshaping of Great Society programs tied to HEW.

Bombing Attacks Remain Heavy Across Vietnam Front
U S B52 bombers pressed attacks on both sides of the DMZ as Hanoi alleged a Monday raid destroyed a North Vietnamese district town. A mistaken U S bombing near Da Nang killed 21 civilians, with 23 wounded and 80 homes damaged. The U S Command opened an inquiry into the strike. About 50 B52s targeted supply caches and troop concentrations while monsoon rains slowed ground fighting in Quang Tri Province where South Vietnamese forces sought territorial gains. North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese losses totaled 13 and 3 killed respectively with 12 government troops wounded in clashes near Quang Tri City.
