Senate limits allied troops pay as Vietnam aid policy
The Senate voted to cut supplemental allowances for South Korean and Thai troops in Vietnam ahead of Agnew's Asian tour. Fulbright, who sponsored the amendment, said US troops receive far less than allied forces, with Thai officers sometimes earning more. The move could affect allied morale and draw a conference with the House.

Living Costs Continue to Increase
Washington AP reports that consumer prices rose for a third straight month by four tenths of one percent in July driven by higher food transportation medical care and housing costs. The Labor Department index reached 135.7 meaning 13.57 buys what 10 did in 1957-59. Average weekly earnings rose 1.02 to 121.07 for about 45 million workers, giving a small real gain but purchasing power remains nearly one percent below a year earlier. Consumer prices were 5.9 percent above July 1969, a slight drop from last year’s 60 percent inflation rate.
