Mayors Shift Focus From Watergate To Urban Issues
A bipartisan group of big city mayors indicated they will turn from Watergate to urban problems at the U S Conference of Mayors annual meeting. The resolutions committee approved one Watergate related measure, urging Nixon to name a nonpartisan Urban Advisory Council to investigate city problems and report to the President. Mayors stressed city matters over national scandal and urged budget concessions for cities in fiscal 1974.
