Arms Talks Reopen at Geneva Conference
The 17 nation disarmament conference resumes in Geneva after a seven month recess. The session marks first prolonged clash between Nixon administration officials and the Kremlin with focus on US Soviet talks to limit antimissile systems. Key issues include underground nuclear test ban, bio chemical weapon ban, and a treaty banning fixed armament installations on the sea bed. William Foster retires as ARDA head and Gerard C Smith is named his successor. The talks aim to gauge East West tensions and potential hot line diplomacy.

Nixon sketches warning-only Vietnam policy amid debate

Senate Majority Leader Mansfield warned the stance risks a Johnson-era tightrope, as Fulbright urged de escalation and Abrams warned of head‑off measures for six months.

Nixon Expects ABM Approval Vote Faces Senate and House Debate
President Nixon expresses confidence that Democratic Congress will approve the Sentinel ABM system to protect deterrence rather than cities. Senate votes appear sufficient for initial funding of 6 to 7 billion dollars for two sites and ten more missiles, with an all out presidential persuasion campaign likely. Opponents warn Congress can still stop it, while some Republicans shift toward support. House leaders foresee friendlier hands after Senate action, as Nixon previews a limited version in a national address and anticipates a close, spirited debate.

Communities near the first two Sentinel sites welcome the projects citing economic benefits while neighbors raise concerns about housing and schools. President Nixon announced a modified antiballistic system with sites near Malmstrom AFB in Montana and Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota. Local economists predict substantial state income from installation dollars, though some residents fear population shifts and long term impacts. Dissenting views are noted on page 5-A.
