Nixon Signals Conditional Asia Intervention Policy Shift
White House officials say President Nixon could again authorize military action in Asia if Communist aggression severely changes the regional balance of power. After talks with leaders in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, South Vietnam, India, and Pakistan, Nixon maintained a hands off stance but reserved for a major attack or nuclear threat a possible military response. The discussion highlighted concerns in Thailand and India about Chinese aggression, while Pakistan pressed for more U.S. military equipment amid lingering embargo effects from the 1965 war.

Rival Tax Reduction Plans Run Legislative Gauntlet
In Sacramento rival tax cut bills face heated debate as tax writers craft a single plan amid governor and lawmakers pushback. Governor Reagan seeks a 10 percent tax credit on 1968 income. Sen George Moscone proposes a 2 percent reduction up to 75 for singles and 150 for couples. Both pass the Senate but may be blended into one amended package as critics call the moves a con game.

Bay protection bill passes Senate to save San Francisco Bay
The Senate voted 24 to 9 for a landmark conservation measure to empower the Bay Commission, strengthen its powers to shield the bay from development, and return to the Assembly for acceptance of amendments. If enacted, the bill would make the commission permanent and regulate shoreline development along the bay. Governor Reagan said he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The measure marks a major conservation crusade after years of political battles and last-minute maneuvers.
