Nixon campaigns to unseat Senate doves in key races
President Nixon aims to undercut Democratic incumbents by touring multiple states to back Republican challengers. He plans stops in Wisconsin, Missouri, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, North Dakota, Indiana, Tennessee, and Indiana, pledging support for candidates like John Erickson, John Danforth, Winston Prouty, and others while backing some allies. The plan targets Sen. William Proxmire, Sen. Stuart Symington, and Sen. Hugh Scott among others, with a broad presidential swing through 16 or 17 states.

Trade grows despite animosity between Japan and Red China
Tokyo reports a persistent trade boom with Red China despite harsh relations. China buys about half the two billion dollars in foreign government goods offered at its autumn fair starting Oct 15 in Canton. Japan, sending 600 salesmen, pursues a postwar record of roughly 800 million in trade with the mainland, profiting from shipping and quick cash rather than aid. Peking denounces Japan's militarism while Sato courts economic ties. Taiwan and Korea trade choices reshape ties with Beijing.
