McGovern urges 10 percent arms cut to feed hungry world
Sen George McGovern told the Southern Baptist Convention that the United States should lead a unilateral 10 percent cut in military spending to relieve global hunger. He proposed joint international action with the Soviet Union and OPEC to fund food aid, rural development, and agricultural improvements, and urged redirecting tanker capacity to carry food to needy nations. He also called for private groups to ensure aid reaches hungry people and for self sufficiency in recipient nations. McGovern predicted Congress would trim 5 to 6 billion from Ford’s military request and said he does not plan to run for president in 1972. He voiced hope Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s influence wanes within the Democratic Party.

Bill survives two revision attempts on Nebraska claims law
The bill LB193, backed by Sen. Frank Lewis, would require cities with 40,000 or fewer residents to publish total claims against the city, aligning with county and school-district publishing. Debates cited cost estimates and coverage differences between Lincoln and Omaha, with questions about readership and impact.
