Skid Row Dwellers Dog to Move as Agency Sells Tenants
Skid Row resident Don Caldwell and his small dog Tammy will relocate Monday to save taxpayers 1394 a month. The Redevelopment Agency kept a skid row hotel open for Caldwell and Tammy, the last occupants, with four clerks running the single room and bath.

Agency finally waived rules granting him a grey floor apartment in a new housing project and allowed Tammy despite a pet ban.

McCloskey Could Run in Nixon Primary and Seek Seat
California Secretary Brown says Rep. Paul McCloskey may contest Nixon in the Republican presidential primaries and seek re election to Congress simultaneously. McCloskey must sign an oath not to withdraw from the House race and to serve if elected, Brown notes, while presidential hopefuls face no such requirement. The move follows McCloskey's pledge to challenge Nixon if Indochina War continues.
