County Attorney Speaks Up on Pollution Countermeasures
Harris County officials propose three amendments to Texas pollution and health laws to empower local authorities. The measures would allow health officers access to private premises for hazard assessment, enable counties or cities to seek board review of local pollution conditions, and require notification of anticipated actions affecting waters within a jurisdiction. County officials say changes would supplement state agencies and improve local investigative work to aid state administration.

U S Waits To See If Cong Want Peace
Washington reports President Johnson aims to extend the Vietnamese peace offensive with a pause in bombing to give North Vietnam ample time to decide on peace. Officials see a split in Hanoi between those open to talks and those pushing to continue the war, with China pressuring for sustained fighting and the Soviet Union possibly backing negotiated settlement. Alexander Shelepin plans Hanoi talks on Soviet aid, seen as a possible peace influence. Kosygin’s Hanoi visit last February factors into Moscow relations. See PEACE, Page 10.
