Eligibility rule tighter for dependent aid plan
The new eligibility limit, not to exceed one third more than the dependent children aid standard, will take effect January 1, 1970. Ten states including New York California Illinois Iowa Kentucky Maryland Michigan Nebraska Rhode Island and Pennsylvania must conform or pay the difference from state funds. Officials estimate federal savings of 335 million for next year with broader savings to 459 million by 1962 as tax and health welfare shifts occur. A key tax provision from Johnson was dropped, while a modified limit on wives’ Social Security benefits was kept at 105 dollars a month.

Arab border fighting eases as talks continue in Khartoum
The report notes resumed gunfire near Damia Bridge lasting over four hours with two 30 minute flare ups and no reported casualties. In Khartoum Arab foreign ministers met grimly with Mongi Slim urging self blame for Arab failures and calls for concerted action to end Israeli aggression.

Johnson weighs peace gesture as Vietnam war grows tense
State Department officials reaffirm Johnson’s bombing halt only if it aids peace or if there is reciprocal military de escalation. CBS reported Johnson is near a major peace move toward North Vietnam ahead of South Vietnamese elections. White House and State Dept deny such plans, saying speculation is baseless. Officials stress no halt to bombing is planned while North Vietnam targets the transportation network are reducing supplies to the advancing forces. The looming decision centers on Gen Westmoreland’s request for more combat troops as Johnson previously announced an increase to about 480,000 troops for the summer.
