Governors from both parties open the Nevada conference at Lake Tahoe urging President Nixon to hold news conferences on Watergate. The meeting's main business is federal state fiscal relations though a three fourths vote may block a Democratic bid to oppose Nixon on economy and revenue sharing.
John Wayne criticizes Watergate as a panty raid by underlings in an Seattle Post-Intelligencer interview. He defends Nixon, faults press and Congress, and praises Nixon’s record while noting aides Ehrlichman and Haldeman. Wayne is in Seattle filming a movie and comments on Vietnam, press conferences, and political dynamics.
A Duluth man, 21 year old Greg P. Swor, died from a .22 caliber bullet wound to the side and chest after a playful scuffle with his wife over a gun believed to be unloaded. Deputy coroner Dr. Carl D. Eklund said authorities treat the incident as apparently accidental.
Aviation experts sifted through the wreckage of a Soviet TU144 after it exploded during an air show in Goussainville near Le Bourget. Fourteen people were killed and 28 injured as the four engine plane crashed into the town during the Sunday exhibition. The dead included two Russian pilots and four other crew members aboard the craft.
The dollar fell sharply in Europe as markets reopened and gold surged to 120.75 an ounce in London. In Frankfurt the dollar dropped to 2.6540 marks amid nervous trading and fresh Watergate related headlines about Nixon. A Concorde prototype crash followed by violent wreckage and casualties is reported, and in Winona Minnesota police recover the body of Allan Haase after a weekend missing person case.
Congress confronts clashes between President Nixon and the legislature as Senate and House schedule key actions. The week features watergate hearings resuming, a minimum wage bill, a presidential reorganization plan, and a stop the bombing measure. The Senate will also tackle a general farm bill after a Tuesday fuel allocation vote. The farm bill would set target prices and pay producers the gap to market prices when needed. The reorganization plan would centralize drug enforcement within the Justice Department, facing a divided Government Operations Committee. House votes target the reorganization decision, minimum wage steps, and potential cutoffs on military actions in Indochina, with possible delays from parliamentary road blocks.
