Budget battle looms as Nixon seeks spending ceilings
The White House presses Congress to accept a legal ceiling on federal outlays as part of a broader drive to curb the $250 billion current year budget. Officials say major agencies face cuts or eliminations to stave off tax increases or inflation. Mansfield urged Congress to act within White House spending limits, with Pentagon set to receive about $79 billion. Meantime communities across the nation planned readings and bells to celebrate a ceasefire, while churches and towns marked other commemorations and relief efforts.

Three years ago this month Brody and wife Renee honeymooned in Jamaica aboard a chartered 140 seat jetliner costing 7954 as newsmen reported his plan to give away his fortune.
