Nixon Warns Soviet Union as Viet War Moves Escalate
President Nixon unveiled a three day ultimatum to Moscow to stop arming North Vietnam, announcing a sea quarantine and intensified air and naval campaigns aimed at cutting supply lines. He offered a possible withdrawal timeline after POW release and an internationally supervised ceasefire, while signaling readiness for talks with the Soviet Union. Domestic protests sprang up on college campuses, and Republicans praised the objectives while Democrats urged caution. Nuclear arms talks and a hoped broader peace loomed as Moscow and Beijing weighed responses.

The city is already a major customer with an annual demand charge of 10 400 dollars for hydrants.
