Milwaukee chapter leader Herbert Powless says the 1 acre Coast Guard site seized under an 1866 treaty is near lease approval by federal, city, and state authorities. The AIM operation hosts a halfway house and a school, with plans for a $1.5 million Neighborhood Facilities grant to create an educational cultural center for Indians in Milwaukee.

Vietnam War Brings Surge in American Vietnamese Marriages
Saigon reports a sharp rise in marriages between Americans and Vietnamese since the North Vietnamese offensive began four months ago. Through April consular data show 940 such marriages in six months, with 213 involving service members. U.S. visa rules allow fiancee visas, yielding 430 fiancée visas in four months, totaling over 1,400 marriages in early 1972. Officials cite reduced American presence in Asia and anxiety over future separations as drivers, alongside harassment of mixed couples and rising use of agents.
