Help with a child’s meat eating and housing concerns prompt reader questions
A reader asks how to help a 4.2 year old who struggles to eat meat, suggests alternatives like ground beef or ground chicken and notes that meals should be relaxed. Another letter complains about a house at 1209 Adams causing rats and asks Action Line to intervene. A parent questions why a junior senior prom is held off campus, and school officials explain costs and placement. Additional letters debate fees for filling out insurance forms by doctors or secretaries and discuss insurance form burdens on patients.

President Nixon asserted that prisoner releases could hasten a U S withdrawal from Vietnam while stressing he and officials will not bow to demonstrators. In a first TV news conference in eight weeks he upheld gradual withdrawal and warned that lawbreakers will be prosecuted. He weighed China policy and potential three-way talks with Peking, Taiwan, and Moscow, and said POW talks in Paris would be given top priority, even as other issues proceed.

More than 60 lawmakers won by slim margins amid a mix of Democrats and Republicans, including veteran Rep. Fred C. Schwengel who was reelected by 765 votes in a three way race.
