Senate weighs volunteer army as draft extension moves ahead
The Senate begins debate on Nixon administration volunteer army bill as House draft extension heads to floor. Sen. Hatfield and McGovern plan to attach a resolution to cut off war funding in Southeast Asia by December 31, risking expiry of draft authority and forcing House positions. The package expands incentives for volunteers to 2.7 billion dollars and allows civilian service for conscientious objectors.

Funds Sought to Power State Pesticide Control Plan
North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner James Graham urged a joint committee to fund a new pesticide control program. He warned that without sufficient funds the bill should not be advanced. The plan would cost about 500000 over two years to set up and create a policy board to license dealers and applicators and regulate pesticides used, manufactured, or sold in the state.
