No Matter Who Says So No Not Abdicating Mayor Kibler
Dr. Mary Ann Kibler, Corry's first woman mayor, says she will not seek the Erie County Hospital administrator job during her four year mayoral term and would only consider it after serving. She would need state certification and exams, having previously been passed over for lack of qualifications. Erie County official Louis Rzymek had favored her, but current head Dr. John Mannarelli was appointed to run the hospital.

Nixon Sends New Budget To Congress
President Nixon sent a 304.4 billion dollar budget to Capitol Hill labeling it anti inflationary and anti recessionary. He argued spending limits help prevent inflation while flexibility shields the economy from downturns, with a 94 billion deficit and a record 100 billion for needy security. Defense rises to 87 billion, and 1.5 billion is earmarked for energy research including nuclear fuel projects. A transportation revenue sharing program is proposed.
