Nixon aides subpoena vote stirs ITT probe clash
Senate Judiciary Committee rejected a bid to subpoena White House aides Peter Flanigan and William Timmons in the ITT investigation. The vote 646 to block subpoenas came as Eastland abstained, leaving a tie with absent Democratic senators Bayh and McLean. Ervin argued executive privilege should not shield aides from testimony, while Ziegler declined Flanigan and Timmons testimony.

Iowa City voters defeated a $2 million downtown ramp bond by 4,004 to 2,098, falling far short of the 69 percent needed.
