Consulate invaded by war protesters in Amsterdam
Forty men and seven women occupied the U S Consulate General for ninety minutes before riot police moved them to vans. They hung banners accusing Nixon and urging peace. About 250 Dutch citizens protested Nixon's Vietnam policy outside. Two American officials and a Dutch employee were trapped but unharmed. Police reported only broken glass. The incident followed broader protests in Bonn and Frankfurt and global appeals for peace in Vietnam. Finland ships over a million tons of newsprint yearly.

Government backs drug screening in Harlem school test
The Nixon administration promotes urine drug tests for students from Harlem's Frederick Douglass Intermediate School, with parental consent required and no police involvement. If youth refuse, peer discussions ensue and non-participation is allowed. Local board seeks 70000 dollars from OEO to start February 1, testing on 1700 students with 1000 parents consenting. Critics warn privacy invasion and lack of voluntary participation.
