The Navy acknowledged that enhanced destruction equipment was installed in all Pueblo class ships after the Pueblo was captured on January 23, 1968. Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher testified that his vessel lacked adequate devices, having only fire jars and a paper incinerator, amid controversy over whether more capable destruction gear existed and was delayed by money and time.

Courts Bar Courts From Deciding Church Doctrine
A unanimous Supreme Court rule bars civil courts from ruling on church doctrine, preventing judgments on religious practices or property disputes tied to doctrine. The decision shields churches from external control during disputes such as the Savannah, Georgia split involving Hull Memorial and Eastern Heights and broader fights over civil disobedience women ministers and school prayer.

Nixon seeks budget cuts and inflation curb plans
President Nixon said he wants to cut Lyndon B. Johnson's 195 billion budget but cannot yet specify where reductions will come. He instructed Budget Director Mayo to find savings to lower total spending and leave room for new programs while avoiding heavy wage and price controls. Nixon intends no new guidelines for industry and labor, but aims to curb inflation without triggering major unemployment. He noted a Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy is already reviewing fiscal and industrial policy to ease price rises and keep economy manipulation to a minimum.
