Viet Order For Cease-Fire Report
Premier Tran Thien Khiem has issued a secret directive to cabinet ministers and department heads to prepare for a cease-fire. South Vietnamese sources say the directive circulated recently and may relate to meetings in Washington between Nixon and Nguyen Phu Duc. Washington reports suggest the U S may sign a final peace with the North without full South Vietnamese approval. A legislator says about 250,000 Mekong Delta soldiers and local officials have been trained for a political struggle after a cease-fire.

Shapp vetoes antiabortion bill as strategy unfolds
Gov. Shapp vetoed a strict antiabortion bill and watched a House override motion fail 102 to 76. The setback leaves the law in legal limbo, with two counties ruling it vague and the State Supreme Court yet to act. The vetoed measure would have banned abortions unless three doctors certified danger to a woman's life. Rep. Martin Mullan, the bill’s chief backer, vowed to run for governor, while aides said the move was part of a broader strategy to influence the session.
