Curtis Accepts Sales Tax Plan Amid Maine Budget Dilemma
Governor Curtis said lawmakers may vote for a 6 percent sales tax if the budget includes more money for state employees and the University of Maine. The House backed a 40.4 million supplemental budget plus a tax package that would raise the sales tax to 6 percent and corporate income tax to 2 percent, forecasting about 43 million in two years. Curtis criticized the tax base as worst possible and warned that failing to act could cripple the state, urging action rather than going home.

Muskie urges cease fire as Vietnam path to talks
Sen Edmund S Muskie urged President Nixon to propose a Vietnam cease fire as a fresh approach to end the war. He said a cease fire could prod the Communists to move forward in Paris talks, while noting risks and differing views by Viet Cong and Saigon. He discussed troop withdrawals and holding fighting to protect peace overtures, and cited Clark Clifford calling for full US troop withdrawal by end of 1970.
