A reader questions the impact of road salt on groundwater, noting a city lake drainage basin north of the railroad and east of Main Street. Hydrologist Leland Layman says salt for snow melt has not harmed groundwater here, unlike harsher northern uses, while whiskey dumped into storm drains should be treated.

Should U S Forces Remain Indefinitely After 1972
AP News Analysis by Lewis Gulick examines whether U S forces should stay in Vietnam beyond 1972. It notes 326,200 troops then, with expected reductions to under 60,000 by year end if current withdrawals continue, and discusses options for a residual advisory force versus full withdrawal. It highlights Nixon's cautious stance and factors shaping decisions, including prisoner of war leverage and South Vietnamese elections.

Supreme Court bars selective draft exemptions in Vietnam ruling
The Supreme Court, in an 8 to 1 decision, held Congress may not exempt only those objecting to a specific war. Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote that exemptions cover those opposing all war, not a single conflict, while Justice Douglas dissented, warning the system creates invidious classifications based on conscience. Gillette and Negro were among those asserting religious or conscience grounds for avoiding induction.
