King Hussein seeks US aid to push Middle East talks
King Hussein of Jordan travels to Washington this week to urge President Nixon to push the Big Four talks toward peace. He says US pressure could coax Israel toward a conciliatory line and warns time is running out for peace and his own leadership. He seeks peace based on justice but cannot unilaterally concede borders or endanger refugee and guerrilla forces.

Rogers Sees Hope For Mutual Withdrawal Of Troops This Year
Secretary of State William P. Rogers said there is a chance of a mutual troop withdrawal from Vietnam this year.

He cautioned that mutual withdrawal requires mutuality and avoided confirming progress in secret talks, while noting other diplomatic issues and Peru aid deadline considerations.
