Costs Included in September Rise and wage gain
Press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler noted the third quarter costs trend, with September down from prior quarters. The administration holds hope for further improvement next year, while real wages rose slightly thanks to higher hourly pay and a weekly gross of 117.80 dollars, though overall living costs still climbed driven by medical, housing, and service charges.

Arab Roundups and Lebanon Clashes Surround Karami Resignation
Dozens of Arabs were rounded up for questioning in the Mideast. Egyptian air forces reportedly attacked Israeli positions near the Suez Canal with anti aircraft fire repelling the jets. Egypt claimed to have penetrated Sinai to strike Nahal Yam but no casualties or damage were reported. Karami announced his resignation saying he cannot bear responsibility without influence. The army blamed guerrillas for clashes in southern Lebanon with casualties on both sides. A curfew was imposed on Tripoli and demonstrations banned in Sidon and Tyre amid Palestinian refugee crowding.

Veterans leaders commented on Nixon's education bill and inflation concerns noting the first year cost equals days of Vietnam spending. Don Johnson predicted a $100 million GI Bill rise next year and backed a $17 monthly increase. Dr. W. Ross Adey warned against space station plans until more weightlessness data is available after the Biosatellite NT mission.

Vietnamese to take over Black Horse base in Vietnam
Vietnam war report states four miles northeast of Tay Ninh City on Wednesday near the Black Horse base camp, five enemy soldiers killed as a squad came under fire.
