GOP Chief Calls Scott Tax Talk Scare Talk
North Carolina Republican chair Jim Holfhouser dismissed Gov. Bob Scott's warnings of needed cuts to teachers' raises and hospital funds as scare talk. He said no new major taxes would be required if the fall budget was trimmed, and defended GOP push for representation on the Advisory Budget Commission and passage of a fiscal reform bill. He urged citizens to contact legislators as the two parties differ over budget allocations and patronage concerns.

Senators Back Nixon Troop Plan Skeptical On Saigon Readiness
Senators backing Nixon’s plan to withdraw 25,000 U.S. troops from Vietnam express doubt Saigon forces can assume major combat duties. Aiken and Symington warn gradual transfer is needed, McGovern fears trillions spent, Viet Cong could seize gains. Stennis and Me Jackson voice skepticism and ask how Saigon would perform without U.S. presence. Ballon says Vietnamese efficiency should rise but time cannot be estimated.

Hershey Won't Inform Draft Boards Of Court Ruling
General Hershey said he will not notify local draft boards about the appeals court ruling that his reclassification guidance for demonstrators was unauthorized and contrary to law. He argued that a declaratory judgment without an injunction is not a decision and that boards should not be alerted to the ruling.

Saigon to assume control of secret U S listening posts
Washington reports Saigon will take over select secret American electronics outposts used to monitor North Vietnamese traffic along Laos and Cambodia borders. The shift, part of Nixon’s troop swap plan, will occur this summer with Vietnamese specialists handling sensor operations and alerting U S forces for air strikes. The report notes the McNamara wall origins and earlier failures but highlights the value of small sensors in detecting enemy movement for targeted bombing. Also mentions a Virginia Rural Affairs study commission public hearing on June 23 in Emporia, chaired by Del. Lyman C. Harrell Jr.

He warned against pulling out of Cuba, said the draft should stay, and called Vietnam a political war while criticizing civilian leadership. The remarks came during a Texas appearance at an Air Force Association event.
