He calls campus eruptions a phenomenon not a conspiracy and urges law enforcement while protecting legitimate dissent. Finch’s stance contrasts with Agnew and Mitchell hard lines, and reports say he was not consulted before the latest onslaught.

Army officials told House subcommittee investigators that a decision on shipping large quantities of poison gas by rail to dump at sea would not be made before Tuesday. Brig. Gen. James A. Hebbler said the operation was under final review and that no movement of gas would occur meanwhile. Rep. Gallagher recessed the hearing as McCarthy pressed for an investigation into chemical warfare tests at Dugway Utah, and concerns about Venezuelan equine encephalitis were raised alongside related secrecy and safety questions.

Dun can cites policy and law as reasons, saying the Navy scholarship program ends with Harvard’s extracurricular status.
