Lawmaker bills retirement plan for private teachers
A proposed amendment by Sen. John F. Gibson would let teachers in sectarian private schools join the state Teacher Retirement System, and Clarence Bell of Parkin would raise retired teachers’ benefits by twenty percent. No action was taken on the bill. In Saigon, President Thieu urged Soviet and Chinese leaders to halt war material shipments to North Vietnam and hinted at a Nixon meeting possibly next month at San Clemente. He tied aid to peace talks to nonproliferation of weapons, and noted no date for his visit to Nixon.
