Senate Vote Keeps Unions in Politics
The Senate rejected two attempts to strip unions of tax exemptions for political activity, voting 62 to 10 25 and 57 to 29 against measures tying tax status to funding or candidate work. The defeat preserves union speech and political activity within existing rules while approving other tax bill changes including audits for foundations and Social Security dependent rules.

Jets to China Seen Stalling Aid Measure
Washington AP reports a $31.5 million allocation to provide Nationalist China with fighter planes faces potential hurdles as House approves a $54.5 million portion of a $1.6 billion foreign aid package while Senate critics target China and Korea funding. Amendments to restore or remove China aid are expected, risking final passage before Christmas. The Senate has set a $1.9 billion spending ceiling and already rejected the China and Korea provisions from Nixon’s larger package. The House narrowly approved the planes funding on the floor, while a split vote defeated efforts to remove it.
