California Delegates Favor McGovern in Key Primary
California voters head to the polls with Senator George McGovern already favored to win California’s 271 delegates in the crucial Democratic presidential primary. New Jersey New Mexico and South Dakota also vote as McGovern camps in Albuquerque vowing to carry all four contests. A win could push his delegate total past 850 and near the 1,509 needed to clinch the nomination, unless Humphrey nullifies the surge with a California victory.

Laird urges continued U S weapons development in talks
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird told House and Senate Appropriations committees that the Moscow arms limits pact should accompany ongoing U S weapons development and modernization. He warned that standing still would be a grave mistake and cited B1 bomber, TriDent submarine, and Minuteman site defenses as examples to persevere. He estimated only about $5 billion in five years would be saved from ABM cuts, and urged raising military aid to allies in Southeast Asia to $2.7 billion while noting Vietnam’s offensive could cost up to $5 billion through December.

Postal Rate Commission approves 1.5 billion in new rates
The Postal Rate Commission approves about 1.5 billion dollars in increased mail rates, largely permanent, with 8 cent letters and 11 cent air mail unless the Board of Governors rejects. The plan, criticized by Time Inc and other publishers, would cut temporary rates and save publishers about 21.8 million annually. The governors may act within 30 days, possibly ending temporary rates and shifting to a lasting schedule.
