Welfare reform hearing spurs clashes with U S officials
Welfare recipients at a Senate hearing clashed with President Nixon and several senators over proposed welfare reforms. A Philadelphia participant questioned the $2,700 annual cost of feeding Nixon’s dogs versus the plan’s $1,100 family subsistence gap. The session, led by Sen. Eugene McCarthy, featured applause and sharp exchanges as critics targeted Long Ribicoff and Eastland for comments about welfare, labor, and city policing. A separate Sertoma meeting in Corry aimed to establish a local Sertoma branch with Erie and Meadville leaders attending.

Protective Trade Bill Survives House Fight

Senate leaders signaled doubts about swift action during the lame duck session as lawmakers weigh Vietnamization and regional stability.

Nixon Asks $155 Million Aid For Urgent Needs In Cambodia
In Washington the House narrowly kept alive a foreign trade bill seen as protecting U.S. industries. Amid a parliamentary struggle a no-amendment rule prevailed 203 to 186, just after opponents failed to block it 204-189. Mills defended quotas for textiles and oil, arguing without them cheaper imports would devastate American shirts and fabrics while oil prices would rise under looser tariffs.
