Nixon to Stress Asians Defenses in Asia Tour
President Nixon said he will rely on Asian allies to bear more defense duties so the United States avoids future Vietnam entanglements. He outlined postwar Asia policy during a swing through Guam en route to the Philippines and other nations, stressing continued U.S. involvement but reduced military aid and personnel. He planned cease-fire policing talks with regional leaders and cautioned against precipitate moves, while avoiding direct discussion of Vietnam troop withdrawals.

Top Medicaid Official Quits Post in Washington
Dr. Francis L. Land, a Johnson administration appointee and chief of the Medicaid program, resigned effective August 31 amid reports he was being eased out. Dr. Land had headed Medicaid since November 1966, ten months after it began, and had recently criticized the federal state program. Dr. Roger O. Egeberg commented after the reports. Land denied wanting to step down or that anyone was pushing him out. He is the second head of Medicaid, described as badly conceived and organized in a major health message.
