Nixon Sees Possible Vietnam Troop Drawdown by 1970
President Nixon told a national news conference that he hopes to match Clark Clifford’s timetable for ending combat in Vietnam by year end and for trimming U.S. forces in 1970. He forecast inflation relief within two to three months and warned if projections fail, other measures may be needed. He also noted the New York City mayoral race results and discussed missile defense and a wiretap inquiry. A severe thunderstorm crossed Chautauqua County, wrecking a Sherman farm barn and uprooting trees, but no injuries were reported.

Army Desertions Jump 30 Per Cent Over 1968
Army predicts 50 000 desertions by end of fiscal year up about 30 percent from 1968. Lt Gen A O Conner testifies to a House subcommittee that undisciplined recruits and social changes drive the rise, while Navy figures show 2 372 sailors discharged for drug abuse in 1968. Desertions abroad exceed 500, reflecting a mix of pacifists and escapees, though rates remain lower than WWII and Korea.
