McGovern draws sharp lines on Israel and Jewish vote
George McGovern, on a Seattle TV interview and a California rabbis event, says he would militarily support Israel if elected and rejects a monolithic Jewish vote while urging voters to judge him by his 15 years of public service. He accuses opponents of spreading job loss claims tied to aerospace and transportation. McGovern also mentions nominating women to Cabinet posts if he becomes president.

Congress caves to Nixon on legal services plan
Congress dropped independent status for the poor legal services program as part of a 4.7 billion antipoverty bill. The measure, approved 223-97 in the House and by voice in the Senate, was trimmed to 2.3 billion for this year and 2.4 billion in 1974 after Nixon objected to higher funding. Conferees chose to remove the proposed independent corporation and directors’ appointment powers to avoid giving the White House control.
