Johnson Welcomes Pope Peace Plea But Leaves Cease Fire To Military
President Johnson welcomed Pope Paul VI's plea for peace but left decisions on a Christmas cease-fire in Vietnam to local commanders and U S military leaders. Secretary Rusk had said the matter was for Vietnamese and American commanders to decide, while Moyers underscored the president's role as commander in chief. The Pope urged a cease-fire for Christians to observe Christmas and called for negotiations toward peace. Some officials fear the offer could be a trap if Viet Cong conditions remain in place.

Budget Director Schultze and Poverty Programs
Spending Director Charles L. Schultze spoke last Friday as The Star noted President Johnson’s team may seek only a small budget rise for the antipoverty agency.

He noted demand far exceeds funding, citing 200000 Job Corps applicants for 40000 places and declined to confirm a $3 billion request for fiscal 1987.
