State oil dispute over offshore drilling and jurisdiction
Lt Gov Ed Reinecke urged resisting federal action while advocating joint unitized drilling to reduce rigs. The Oil Commission rejected Standard's offshore lease request until safety equipment and spill plans are demonstrated, maintaining a moratorium on new offshore drilling on state lands. Standard cites losses and seeks compensation, as Phillips wells run on federal lands.

Nixon vows to end college draft deferments and reform system
President Nixon urged Congress to repeal the deferment rule under the Selective Service Act and replace local draft quotas with monthly national calls. He warned that without change he would issue an executive order to end deferments except for those held as of April 22, or for students in ROTC, and allow timing to affect induction to finish the current semester. The plan also aims to address uneven board quotas and ensure a fairer nationwide draft, including a lottery overhaul. In related news, the Senate approved Nixon’s nomination of Howard B. Tirenten to be U.S. district judge for Southern California.

Claude Kirk for pressuring Rep. William C. Cramer to withdraw, saying the move blindsided Cramer who had long planned re election. Morton recalled hearing of Carswell's bid from Nixon adviser Harry Dent before Carswell’s candidacy was publicly announced, while the White House said Nixon would stay neutral.
